The activity I would like to introduce is called "Guess What?"
I love this activity because it needs no preparation at all and it can be used for students of all levels of English knowledge.
The teacher thinks of one object in the classroom ( school) and asks students to guess what the object is. Students have to ask questions about the object in order to find out. They can ask general or specific questions but they can't be too specific that it becomes very easy to guess.
For example, the students can ask questions like these:
Is it big?
Is it cold?
How much does it cost?
What is it made of?
The students can't ask directly about the function of the object.
I think it is a great activity to refresh students' knowledge on question formation.
The teacher can write the questions on the board and ask students if they can recognize mistakes ( if any) and correct them.
I find this activity is very popular with students of all levels and ages. My students also like to switch with me and have me ask questions and guess what object they thought of.
