Here is a Baamboozle game for giving advice.
This Baamboozle Game was given to me by a colleague when I was covering one of her classes.  (I don't think she designed it herself--it looks like she found it on the website.)
I used it in the class, and it worked well.
The game itself is designed to be used for functional language for giving advice in general.  (The suggested answers are "You should... / You'd better... / If I were you..."  However, my colleague was using it specifically to review a lesson on using "should' for advice. So the game could be used for either.

Using Beauty and the Beast to Teach Giving Advice in the Present and Past

(TESOL Worksheets--Giving Advice in the Present and Past)
Worksheet: docs, pub
[Directions: In my classes, my students were all very familiar with this movie already, so I was able to use that familiarity to set-up things very quickly.  I put on video 1, paused it a couple of times near the beginning to elicit the plot points from the students (i.e. the Beast has forbidden Belle to go into the West Wing.  Belle is going into the West Wing, so the Beast is going to be mad, etc.)  Then played the rest of video 1.
Before playing video 2, I gave the students the gist question orally: "Why is Belle upset?  Why is the Beast upset?"
Then after the gist, the students answer the detail questions.  Then a quick vocabulary matching activity.  Then students write in the missing words from the script, and listen to check their answers.  Then a sorting activity for past advice and present advice.  And then some Concept Checking Questions.]

Naruto PowerPoint Game--Modals for making suggestions and giving advice about present and past actions

(TESOL Worksheets--Giving Advice, Modals)
Google: drive, slides, pub
[In my classes, I used this to supplement Impact 3 Unit 4 p.70, and many of the prompts are taken directly from that textbook (and thus reflect the theme of that unit, which is the environmental impact of fashion.)  The remaining prompts were taken from English Grammar in Use by Raymond Murphy.  The template was created by Stemarty.]

Lesson on Giving Advice

(TESOL Worksheets--Giving Advice, CELTA Style Lesson Plans)
Google Drive Folder HERE
Slideshow: slides, pub
Lesson plan: docs, pub
Sorting Activity: drive, docs, pub
Other Worksheets: docs, pub
[Notes: Elements of this lesson are based on this lesson here, which in turn is modelled on a lesson a colleague of mine did.  
The Semi-Controlled practice (which comes from the lesson my colleague did) is based on the particular circumstances of my class, and will need to be modified if someone else uses it.
This lesson is based off of Q: Skills for Success: Listening and Speaking 5 , and the target language comes from the textbook.  That being said, I think this lesson could be used independently of that textbook.  (In the lesson plan, the textbook is only used for the students to check to confirm their answers.  But this could be adapted by having the teacher confirm the answers without the textbook.]

Functional Language for Giving Advice: Demo Workshop

(TESOL Worksheets--Teacher Training, Speaking, Functional Language, Giving Advice)

Google drive Folder HERE
Slideshow: slides, pub
Handouts: docs, pub

[Notes: Designed as a teacher-facing workshop to model a functional language lesson on giving advice.  With some adaptations, it could also become student facing.  The workshop format as well as the speaking prompt cards are very closely modeled on a similar workshop that I saw a colleague do.]
