"Find Somebody Who..." is a fun and interactive activity designed to help students
practice asking and answering questions in English, specifically focusing on using the
Present Simple tense. It encourages students to get to know their classmates better
while practicing their language skills. Here’s how the activity works:
Before Starting:
• Each student receives a worksheet with a list of "Find somebody who..."
statements. These statements are about various hobbies, daily routines,
preferences, or interests that their classmates might have.
The Rules of the Activity:
1. Objective: The main goal is for students to move around the classroom, asking
their classmates questions based on the "Find somebody who..." statements.
For example, if the statement is "Find somebody who plays video games every
weekend," the student must ask, "Do you play video games every weekend?"
2. Asking Questions: Students must ask questions in the Present Simple tense. It's
important to use correct question forms, such as "Do you like...?" or "Do you
exercise...?" depending on the statement.
3. Recording Answers: When a classmate answers "Yes" to a question, the student
should write down that classmate's name next to the corresponding statement
on the worksheet. It’s essential to find a diUerent person for each statement,
encouraging students to interact with as many classmates as possible.
4. No Repetitions: Try to avoid repeating names on the worksheet. The aim is to
talk to various people and find out diUerent things about many classmates, not
just a few.
5. Completion: The activity continues until students have found someone who
answers "Yes" to each statement, or until the teacher decides the activity has
run its course.
Important Notes:
• Encourage respect and politeness during the activity. Students should be
respectful when asking questions and listening to their classmates' answers.
• Remind students to speak in English throughout the activity to maximize their
practice time.
This activity not only helps students practice English in a real-life context but also
fosters a sense of community and understanding among classmates. It's a great way to
make language learning fun and engaging!
