INTERVIEW GAME
Target Group: 1st year
Difficulty Level: Basic Conversation
Activity Objective: To practice phrases “Do you like ~?” and “Do you play ~?”
INTERVIEW GAME – Procedure
Interview Game is good to play when practicing vocabulary or key phrases. Student A will ask Student B “Do you~?” If Student B’s answer is “Yes, I do.”, then he or she must sign Student A’s worksheet. If the answer is “No, I don’t,” then Student A must ask another student until the line is signed. The first three students with all lines signed must sit down and are the winners. They will receive a small prize.
Materials and Preparation
After the worksheet is made, the only other materials needed are prizes.
Suggestions and Advice
It is a good idea for the teacher to read each question and have the students repeat it once to familiarize the students with the words. Also, some students may congregate in the back of the classroom and avoid moving around. They will only ask a few people each question. To avoid this,
the teacher must explain that one person can only sign each student’s worksheet ONCE.
