Task description: Each student writes a
description of someone in the class. The

2.What are you doing?
 Each pair of students sits back to back and takes
it in turns to ask questions about what the other
person is miming. The person miming the
actions can only answer ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.
3.What’s my line?
 Each pair of students thinks of a job and mimes
an action that is typical to that job. The other
student asks Yes/No questions until they guess
the job.
4.Coffee Pot
One student thinks of something s/he often does, e.g. have
a shower. Other students ask questions until they find out
what the person is thinking of. Because they don’t know
the verb, they use the words ‘Coffee Pot’ for the verb in
their questions.
For example, ‘Did you ‘coffee pot’ this morning?’
5.The adverb game
One student thinks of an adverb. Other students then ask
him/her to do things to find out what the adverb is.
For example, if the student is thinking of the adverb ‘slowly’
and someone says ‘open the door’, s/he must mime
opening the door slowly.
In groups students prepare a survey on the
topic:‘Are you a good language learner?’
For example: Do you do the homework the
teacher gives us?
a. always
b. sometimes
c. never
Students ask and answer. Then they return to
their groups to share the results and
prepare a presentation of what they found.
Write 6 sentences about your typical daily
routine. Some sentences should be true and
some should be false.
Work in groups of 3. Take it in turns to read
out one sentence each. Guess which are true
and which are false. If you are not sure, ask
them some questions.
