This is a fun idea! I've always found students to be surprisingly interested in something if you say that it's from your home town. Maybe they sense that textbook material is a little too abstract.
I never thought of adding the walk time between platforms. Is that in the textbook you use?
Do the students really ham it up and act like they're dying when the time runs out?
Thanks, and ditto although it usually takes twenty minutes if I put the students in groups to do the quiz. Then back to pairs or writing on their own about their own school and home life.
Excellent work. I do this without the writing as a warmup, before I go on to a different activity. I would say 10 minutes is plenty for it.
