Where do I come from?
In this group activity, students play a guessing game to practice countries and nationalities.

Before class, make one copy of the worksheet for each group of three and cut as indicated.

Procedure

Begin the activity by picking a country that is not on the cards, e.g. Italy.

Explain to the students that they are going to play a guessing game to practice countries and
nationalities. Tell them to listen and work out your country and nationality.

Make three sentences about your chosen country that covers the same information that is on
the cards. As you speak, write the sentences on the board.

Example:

I come from a country in Europe.

The currency is the euro.
The capital is Rome.

Elicit the answers and write them on the board, e.g. You come from Italy. You are Italian.

If the students don’t guess the answer, give an extra clue, e.g. My country is famous for
spaghetti and pizza.

Next, put the students into groups of three and give each group a set of shuffled cards. Tell
the students to place the cards face down in a pile.

Students take turns to pick up a card and make sentences. Remind them not to let the other
students see their card.

Encourage the students to use full sentences and follow the written example on the board.

The first student in the group to guess the answer, giving both the country and the
nationality, wins the card.

The winner is the student with the most cards at the end of the game.
