16 QUESTION STRIPS Camping
Aim Speaking Practice
Level Intermediate to Advanced

 As a Seated Activity
Have your students seated in pairs or in groups of three.

Lay the sixteen cut-up questions – face-down – between the students.

Students take turns randomly selecting questions to ask their partner(s).


Encourage follow-up questions.

Be sure to set a time frame for your students (try starting with 10 – 15
minutes for 16 questions; you may want to adjust this in later classes).
Monitor and assist.

 As a Standing Activity 1
Have all your students stand up.

Give one question strip to each student.

Students find a partner and ask their question. Encourage follow-up


questions.

After the students have asked each other their questions, have them
exchange question strips and find new partners and continue.

Set a time frame as above. Monitor and assist.

 As a Standing Activity 2
This activity runs exactly the same as in ‘Standing Activity 1’ except that
students first have about a minute to memorize their question (before
placing it in their pocket – it can be used as a prompt if needed).

After each short conversation, students ‘mentally exchange’ their


questions – they must help each other memorize their new questions
before setting of to find a new partner.

This activity version is a little challenging, but also lots of fun – and it’s
great to see all the learning that takes place!

Set a time frame as above. Monitor and assist.
