Students take turns drawing a card and reading the sentence aloud. Their classmates listen carefully, spot the grammatical error, and shout out the correction. This encourages active participation and sharpens learners’ listening, speaking, and grammar skills simultaneously. The competitive, fast-paced format motivates students and encourages peer learning.
