why do we need to study english?

I sometimes get asked to design "fun" lessons to kill a period (often at the end of term but we've got sports tournament this week so there's variable numbers of students out of school - so covering textbook material isn't fair or practical while they're gone).

I've had a lot of luck with Sheep - once the kids understand the rules (including that it's ok to lie to get ahead) they have a really good time with it. I can use questions they've studied in class, and anyone who starts falling behind always has the option to right down 1-point answers and watch me try to announce it with a straight face.

Some fun answers I had:

What did you do last weekend?
-I ate rice all day.
How do you spend your free time?
-I eat rice.

How are you?
-I'm human.

How do you come to school?
-Teleport
-Bird (two respondents)

Where do you want to go in the future?
-Neverland (two respondents)
-the Government Archives
-Muscles
-Space
-Mars

How do you spend your free time?
-Superhero
-War
-Kill monsters
-Let It Be
-Protect the Earth with Kosei
