Teacher notes

Find someone who

Language point

Was / were

Aim

To practise past simple tense (was / were).

Activity

Students ask and answer questions to

complete a “find someone who”

questionnaire.

Organization

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”.
