Learning activities:
1.- Activity “Modals Uno”: Players must make a sentence using the assigned modal verb for the color/number of the card they are playing. For example, if playing a red card, they must make a sentence with “can”. The next player continues the chain using the same modal verb or, if unable, draws a card from the draw pile. This activity not only helps practice modal verbs in a playful manner but also encourages creativity and interaction in using these modal verbs.
