Frequently Asked Questions
How many pages can one This or That activity have?
Up to 20. Each page is one choice: two pictures with a caption under each and, if you like, phrase cards for Partner 1 and Partner 2. Six to ten pages are usually enough for a ten-minute speaking warm-up, and the Pages filled counter shows how many pages are already complete.
Where do the pictures for This or That come from?
Click a picture slot to upload a photo, drop a file onto it, paste a copied image or paste an image link. Choose pictures that clearly show the two options, like a beach and mountains, and keep captions to a word or two. Pictures added by link are copied to the site when you publish, so the activity keeps working later.
Is This or That free to use?
Yes. Creating, publishing and playing This or That activities is free, and you do not need an account. Publish the activity to get a link, open it in fullscreen on the classroom board and move between pages with the arrow keys; students at home can open the same link on a phone.
