Step 1
The teacher will ask students to leave an empty space at the center of the classroom.
The teacher will ask the students to form a circle. For larger amount of students, the teacher can carry this activity in two alternate groups. (Do the activity with one first then the other group). The teacher should be part of the circle too.
Each student has to prepare one of the studied questions.
Students need to be ready to respond to any of the questions; since they don’t know which question his/her classmate will ask him/her.
Step 2
The teacher will start the game by moving himself/herself in front of the student who is next to him/her to the right side.
The teacher will ask the student one of the questions, for example: ¿Qué anda buscando?
The student should respond as previously presented by teacher. Responses should be both in Spanish and in complete sentences.
As soon as the student responds to the teacher, he/she will move in front of another classmate on the right hand side and ask him/her one of the questions. At the same time, the teacher will return to his/her position in the circle.
Students will answer the questions made by their classmate. This activity will continue until each student has the opportunity to participate in the game.
