(Not) Personal Questions!

This is one of my favourite activities to practise question forming- but not the usual "What´s your name'" stuff, which we all get fed up with, don´t we!

It´s called Fruit and Veg.

Ask ss to write down the following words on a scrap of paper, keeping them secret from their peers:

the name of a fruit
the name of a vegetable
a number between 1 and 200.
the answer to this question: do you like football?
How many pens and pencils do you have?
What is the first thing you do every morning?

Now tell them that these things are actually:
their first name
their family name
their age
are they married?
how many children they have?
their job.

Now they must get up and go round the class, asking the personal questions and sharing info about their new selves.

Guaranteed hilarity!
