Now that the holidays are over, is it all work and no play? Well, take a break to learn about some fun expressions to use the next time you play games:
- You’re it. (It, here, means the person whose turn it is)
- Who’s it?
- It’s your turn. (It, here, is just the subject of the sentence)
- It’s your go.
- It’s my turn.
- It’s my go.
- Let’s take turns.
- Whose turn is it?
- Whose go is it?
When you’re playing tag, there are many people in a group, and one person, “it”, has to chase everyone until they are caught. Can you think of equivalent games that are played in your country? Here are some we played when we were kids:
- hide and seek
- red-light green-light
- duck duck goose
- tag
- freeze tag
Small talk while playing games is a great way to pick up on these phrases and more.
