Adverbs of frequency mastermind

Without anyone else seeing, put a card in each of the spaces of the grid that you are given to show how often you really do each thing. Write your own cards if there is no suitable card to fill one or more of the gaps. Mix up the cards so they are all in the wrong places, then give the cards and grid to your partner to try to put in the right order. Tell your partner how many they have guessed correctly each time that they try to put them in all the right order, continuing with them guessing and you saying how many are right until they are all correct. If they get stuck, you can also give hints such as saying if one should be higher or lower. Switch roles and do the same, then take turns guessing the other person’s real frequencies in the same way until your teacher stops the game.
