Pre-intermediate (A2) they guess Wh questions from the short answers written by the
other students in their group.
Time One student begins by placing their answers on the desk for the
40 minutes other two students to see.
These two students read the first answer and take it in turns to
guess the question.
It's not important that the students say the exact wording of the
question, but the question should be grammatically correct with
the same tense and meaning.
The first student to guess the question scores one point.
If the two students are having problems thinking of the right

question, the student who wrote the answer can give them a clue,
e.g. 'It’s a question about learning'. 'It's a question about the past',
etc.
This process continues until all three students' questions have

been guessed correctly.
The student with the most points at the end of the game wins.
