Speed dating!
 

 
Do you know Speed Dating? Well, this is a bit different but still exciting! Having your students in pairs is easy I guess. But how would they feel if you asked them to find their perfect match?
I want them to practise Simple Past Questions so this is what I �m going to work on. Instead of boring drilling, they �ll be asking each other questions about yesterday.
They all have their questions on a piece of paper :
"you/go to school yesterday"
"your father/ cook"
" your mother /do the housework"
But they have to answer them before asking their partners.
They have one minute until I call out "Speed Date Switch"!
They change partners and start the whole procedure from the beginning.
The perfect match? The ones who have the same answers!
