Waves of Questions

Level: A1 and higher

 

Here’s a simple activity you can do for any age and level. It is especially effective in large classrooms with students who don’t like to talk much. 

 

The Procedure:

 

1. Go to the student sitting in the left (or right) corner of the first row and ask them a simple question, i.e. What’s your name? 

 

2. After they answer instruct them to ask the same question to the person next to them. And again. And again.That way this question will circulate the entire classroom. 

 

3. After 3 or 4 students asked/answered the question go back to the first one and ask them another, slightly harder question, i.e. How old are you?

 

4. In the end there will be multiple questions circulating the classroom at the same time, with you creating more, each new one slightly more difficult than its predecessor. 

 

Questions:

 

1.   What’s your name?

2.   How old are you?

3.   What’s your favourite colour?

4.   Where do you live?
