BAFFLE ME – HAVE GOT

Learning the ‘have got’ construction often looks good on paper — until you have to use it quickly in a real conversation. That’s when hesitation sets in, word order gets mixed up, the ‘got’ is left out, or the reply is cut short after just one word.

BAFFLE ME – HAVE GOT helps you move from a passive ‘I know the rule’ to an active ‘I can use it’. Players ask questions, give short answers, listen to one another and respond under pressure of time. This means the ‘have got’ construction is practised in real-life situations — not as a dull grammar exercise, but as part of engaging communication.

The game makes revision faster, more exciting and far less monotonous. Instead of simply copying out sentences, participants have a specific goal: to answer correctly, ask a good question, avoid making a mistake and outpace their opponent.

In the BAFFLE ME variant, players compete against each other by asking questions at a rapid pace to provoke an incorrect answer and eliminate their opponent from the game. In the ASK ME variant, the task is to create questions that match the short answers shown on the circles. Every correct response brings you closer to victory, so the motivation to speak arises naturally.

BAFFLE ME – HAVE GOT is ideal for lessons, private tuition, language schools, at home with a child, or as a revision activity with other English learners.

It’s a brilliant way to consolidate ‘have got’ without boredom, stress or constantly correcting the same mistakes. Here, the language starts to work in practice — quickly, effectively and with emotion
