1. Flip a coin, and if you get the head, you move one step. If you get the tail, move two steps. Then, using the picture and the words in the circle, make a sentence.
2. Work in pairs. Prepare a coin in each pair. One should flip a coin, and if he gets the head, he should move one step. If he gets the tail, he should move two steps. After than using the picture or word in each circle, you should make an English sentence.
(Would you check the passages? Correct errors, plese. If you have better expressions, let me know. Do you have websites related to this kind of activities?)

1. The common expression is "heads" and "tails" so I'd rephrase it slightly:
Flip a coin, and if you get heads, move one step forward. If you get tails, move two steps forward. (The rest of this is fine.) And yes, the expression is "heads" and "tails" even if you have only one coin.
2. How will you rephrase?

Thank you.
2. Work in pairs. Prepare a coin in each pair. One should flip a coin, and if he gets heads, he should move one step forward. If he gets tails, he should move two steps forward. After that using the picture or word in each circle, you should make an English sentence.
(I changed #2. Is it OK? Thank you.)
You really shouldn't use "he". It would be he or she, but a better way would be to avoid it (One should flip a coin, and if it lands on heads...).
Yes, the rephrasing in #2 is fine. It is now clear that one person in each pair should flip a coin and move accordingly. Additionally, after moving, they should use the picture or word in each circle to create an English sentence. This activity can be done in pairs, allowing for interactive and collaborative learning.
If you are looking for websites related to this kind of activity, you can try searching for "ESL coin flipping activities" or "English language learning games with coins." There are many online resources and educational websites that provide interactive activities and games for language learning.
