This is an activity that can be used to review all lessons for the whole year/trimester/ or any chapter.
List of Q and A are based on JHS One World Textbook 3nensei: all lessons
Mechanics:
1. Each student to receive 1 card. The card contains either a question (Q) or an answer (A).
2. Students to read and practice speaking the question/answer on their card.
3. When teacher says “Go!”, the students will go around the room and try to find their partner.
4. Students with Q can only talk to students with A, and vice versa. "Do you have a Q card? / Do you have an A card?" "Yes, I do. / No, I don't."
5. When a Q and A meet, the Q will ask the question on their card and the A will say the answer on their card. They decide if the dialogue makes sense, or if they need to find a different partner.
6. They continue finding other students until they find the correct partner.
7. Correct pairs write their names on the board. (Teacher to check if the dialogue is correct).
Options for activity goal:
1. Fastest pair wins. OR
2. The whole class will race to find all their pairs, and compete against the other class for the fastest time to find all pairs. (3-A versus 3-B)
3. The whole class will race to find all their pairs, and compete against themselves for the fastest time possible. (3 rounds, aim to improve the time for each round.)
Option B:
1. There are same questions, and there will be several possible answers per question. (Example: 3 students with the same question, and there are 3 different answers that can match with them.)
2. The goal is to find your group (same question, and all possible answers.)
Notes:
1. After the 3 rounds, have the pairs read aloud their Question and Answer in front of the class, so that everyone can listen to all the different questions and corresponding answers.
2. If you will add/change Q and As, I suggest to use the same nouns or subjects, so that students will focus on the different grammar points instead of looking for the same nouns to find their pair.
For example, 2 questions using tennis:
How long have you been playing tennis? = I have been playing tennis since I was little.
If you had a brother, what would you do? = If I had a brother, I would play tennis with him.
(If students just focus on the word tennis, they might pair up with the wrong Q/A. They need to analyze the question and grammar point closely.)
