    16 QUESTION STRIPS Bus Travel
    Aim Speaking Practice
    Level Intermediate to Advanced

    • As a Seated Activity
    Have your students seated in pairs or in groups of three.

    Lay the sixteen cut-up questions – face-down – between the students.

    Students take turns randomly selecting questions to ask their partner(s).


    Encourage follow-up questions.

    Be sure to set a time frame for your students (try starting with 10 – 15
    minutes for 16 questions; you may want to adjust this in later classes).
    Monitor and assist.

    • As a Standing Activity 1
    Have all your students stand up.

    Give one question strip to each student.

    Students find a partner and ask their question. Encourage follow-up


    questions.

    After the students have asked each other their questions, have them
    exchange question strips and find new partners and continue.

    Set a time frame as above. Monitor and assist.

    • As a Standing Activity 2
    This activity runs exactly the same as in ‘Standing Activity 1’ except that
    students first have about a minute to memorize their question (before
    placing it in their pocket – it can be used as a prompt if needed).

    After each short conversation, students ‘mentally exchange’ their


    questions – they must help each other memorize their new questions
    before setting of to find a new partner.

    This activity version is a little challenging, but also lots of fun – and it’s
    great to see all the learning that takes place!

    Set a time frame as above. Monitor and assist.
