Every student will receive four or five cards, each one with 3 sentence written on it connected with things that people do in the home or in their daly lives. 2 As an example, write the following on the board: Something that people do when they go out in the evening 0 2) 3) What. 3 Ask students to write down what they think would be the three most popular answers. For example: Go to a bar, go for a meal, go to a disco. Write up their suggestions on the board. Establish the three most popular answers, 4 Elicit the question for the example sentence above: What do people do when they go out in the evening? 5 Explain that each card will have a similar sentence beginning either with something of with someone. Make it clear to students that someone ‘means @ type of person or the ttle ofa job, not a person's name. 6 Give each group their pile of sixteen cards face down. Each student should take four or five cards, think about the most popular answers for each sentence, write his/her three answers underneath the sentence, then write the question. Allow seven to ten minutes. 7 When students have finished writing their questions, they should check them with you. 8 Students now play the game. In turn, they ask the questions on their cards. The first student asks the student on his/her left. If this student gives one of the three answers on the card, he/she gets a point. Then the next student has @ chance to answer, and so on until the three answers on the card have been found (or until each student has had three guesses). Every answer that matches an answer on the question card receives a point. The student with the most points at the end wins, ?Someone who works sometimes at night and sometimes during the day y 2) 3) Who ?

Give each group a set of cards, face down. One student in each group picks up a card but does not show it to anyone. He/she must elicit the answers on the cards by asking his/her partner questions but he/she must not say any of the words in the answers. E.g.
