How about a few pictures stuck on the wall around the class – different family situations – parents with an only child, with 8 children, a child on her own, etc, depending on exactly what the text is about and what issues you’re going to deal with from it. Pictures should be easy enough to find online.

Have the students in pairs walk round the room looking at the various pictures and telling each other what comes in to their mind when they see this particular family situation – can they relate to it, does it reflect their own family situation, would they like to be in a family like that, etc.

Feedback, picking out a few students’ reactions to the different pictures.
