Values class activity to get to know your students, use recall and descriptive writing. Ready 4 Sept

You can run this activity over a number of days or as one longer activity.

There are over 50 questions that need to be cut out and folded over and an answer sheet. Each student picks a question and then answers it on their sheet. The questions are all personal and are designed to reveal a little about their personal history, their thoughts and their interests.

Once complete, they return their questions and pick another.

This can be done alternatively in pairs where the first student would ask their neighbour the question and write down their response so that they are learning about their classmate. The next question has to be asked to someone else and their sheet completed thereby getting to know other people too.

This information can be used for a class display or a quiz based upon their classmates or just for fun to look at the following year.

Sample questions:

What is your favourite photo?
If you could invent anything, what would it be?

Some questions are closed questions, try and get students to expand upon a "Yes," or "No," answer.
