 Ask your students to guess which sentences are incorrect and ask why they are incorrect. 
 Once they know which one(s) is incorrect, ask them to write down four sentences; two should be 
incorrect. 
 Ask them to go around the class and meet at least three other students and guess which ones of their 
sentences are incorrect. Your instructions might look like this, “Next, go around the room. Show your 
statements to you friends, at least three, and ask them to guess which ones are incorrect about you.”
 
Asking Yes/No questions 
 Remind your students how to make yes/no questions. 
 Give examples of yes/no questions. 
 Ask your students to ask yes/no questions to you to know more about you and respond with ‘yes’ if it 
is correct and ‘no’ if it is not correct. 
For example: Do you like meatball?  Yes 
Do you like to play chess?  No
Are you interested in painting?  No 
 Once, they know more about you, move to the next activities. 
 Ask them to work in pairs and ask their friends ‘ye/no questions’. 
You can also apply ‘yes/no questions’ in other occasions. 
Handshakes
This activity is extremely simple and aimed at getting students to move and making some sort of 
contact with everyone else in the class. The physical contact of the handshake is clearly of symbolic 
importance as a gesture of mutual goodwill. This is a good starting exercise with groups who are meeting 
for the first time (Ur & Wright, 1992).
