| Aim | To practise the past simple tense (was/were) |
| Activity | Students ask and answer questions to complete a "find someone who" questionnaire |
| Organisation | Whole class |
| Preparation | Make enough copies of the questionnaire for the number of students in your class |
| What do I do? | 1 Hand out questionnaires. 2 Students read through the questionnaire and think about the questions they need to ask. 3 Students mingle, and complete the questionnaire by writing students' names in the box if they answer "yes". 4 The objective is to find at least one “yes” for each question. To develop fluency, encourage students to expand on their answers, rather than just answering "yes" or "no" |
