16A How well do you know your 6A classmates?

C Jon Hird

Type of activity

Writing, speaking. Whole class.

A i m

To practise question forms.

9 The students then mingle and ask the

questions. They record with a tick () or a cross (#) whether or not they had guessed c o r re c t l y. This continues until all the questions have been asked.

10 The winner is the person who has the most

correct guesses.

Ta s k

To guess the answers to questions about your classmates and check whether or not you are correct.

Follow up

In pairs, the students tell each other what they have learned.

P re p a r a t i o n

Make one copy of the worksheet for each student.

T i m i n g

20 minutes

P ro c e d u re

1 Fold each of the worksheets as shown so that

only the spaces where the students write their names are visible.

2 If possible, ask the students to sit in a circle or

h o r s e s h o e .

3 Give out one worksheet to each student. They

should not open out the worksheet.

4 Each student then writes their name in one of

the spaces and passes the folded worksheet to the right.

5 The next student writes their name in any

one of the remaining spaces, before passing it on again.

6 Continue until all the spaces have been filled.

Then hand on the worksheet one more time.

7 Each student opens out the worksheet to find

sixteen questions about different people, e.g. Where did ?A?n?n?a? last go on holiday?

8 The students try to guess the answer to each

of the questions and write this next to the q u e s t i o n .

Notes & comments

An alternative procedure is to get each student to randomly write the names of their classmates on the dotted lines. The potential problem with this, especially in bigger classes, is that some students' names may appear a lot, and others only a little if at all! In smaller classes, fewer than sixteen, get the students to write their names in more than one slot (e.g. with a class of eight, each student fills two slots).
