What’s the Question???

Level: Any Level

Type of activity: listening and speaking

Purpose: review question forms previously studied in class

Procedure: form two teams (three will work, but two seems to add just the right
amount of competitive tension).

Explain the game, with a few examples of answers in search of questions. Ask,
“what’s the question?”, and get students to correctly say the corresponding
questions for your answer.

Have two players – one from each team – come to the front. Style it like a game
show if you like, with the students standing side – by – side. If you have access
to bells or buzzers, it’s even more fun.

Next read an answer to a question and say, “what’s the question?”. The fastest
player to respond wins a point for her/his team. New contestants come to the
front for a new round.
