Worksheet
|
- Copy the questions from the worksheet onto small cards - one
question per card - or just photocopy the sheet and cut into question
strips. Prepare a set of cards/slips for each group. There are
enough questions for you to make two different sets so you can
use the activity twice.
- Give each group a set of question cards. Tell them to shuffle
them and place them face downwards in the centre of the table.
- Then student A takes a card, reads it aloud to student B who
must answer the question. Student B then takes a card and reads
it aloud to student C who answers it, and so on.
- They continue until all the cards have been used.
It is very important for students to ask and answer very quickly
to keep the rhythm going and to really practise quick topic changes.
Notes/Variations:
- Do the same activity but in pairs, with Student A asking all
the questions in quick succession to Student B. Then change over
and repeat.
