Whose am I?
Introduction:
Activity for ESL students to practise whose and family/relationships.
What is learnt?
's + animate + human
How the game is played:
-
Revise the words below which the students already know and teach the others.
father uncle niece flatmate boss
mother aunt wife classmate colleague
son sister husband friend enemy ex-
daughter brother twin boyfriend friend ex-
grandson nephew cousin girfriend husband etc.
- Explain to the students you are going to tell them about people close to
you. Ask one person to come out and sit with you in front of the group
as your special listener. You speak for a minute (time yourself).
If I were teaching your class I might start this way: 'I'm John's son and Sophie's husband. I'm Julie's brother and Edward's friend and colleague. I'm not a cousin.'
When you have finished your minute, the listener has to repeat back to you what you said as best they can. You may have to prompt them here and there.
- Tell the class to pair off and do the exercise you have just demonstrated. Stress the importance of the listener really listening (no note taking). You time the groups. Each person in the pair has a turn at speaking.
- Finish the exercise with each student drawing a diagram of the people their neighbour 'belongs to', e.g.:
John's son
|
Edwards's friend - HOLLY - Julie's husband
|
Michael's brother
