WH-QUESTIONS ON THE BALL

This is a great activity for students who can’t sit still.

It will give them a great opportunity to move around!

You need: A set of cards Play to Learn – “Simple Present – Do – Does”

                   Some Styrofoam balls

From the set of cards “Simple Present” you select only the verbs (orange cards) and put them on a place not so close to the students, a place where they have to stand up and move to get them, maybe the teachers desk is a good option.

On another desk, far from where you have put the cards you are going to put the Styrofoam balls with the with questions written on them (WHAT, WHERE, WHO, WHEN, HOW, ETC)

When the teacher gives the signal to start, the students have to get one card, one ball, go to their desks and write a question using the two words.

If he picked the verb LEARN and the WH-word WHAT, he can, write the question –

What do you learn?

The teacher can set a time limit for the Game.

At the end of the time set by the teacher, she corrects the questions and the winner is the student who could write more sentences that are correct!

If the teacher wants to continue with the activity, she can ask the students to sit in pairs and ask each other the questions they have written and write down the answers.

After all the class has finished asking questions the teacher can ask the students to tell the class two new things they have learned about their partner.

I hope you and your students enjoy doing this activity and learning English with the Games – PLAY TO LEARN!!!!
