Finish the Sentences 1
Read the following sentences out loud. Students have to write an appropriate ending to each sentence. A correct answer is a sentence that makes sense, both in meaning and grammar (note: this could also be a straight writing exercise):
Example questions...
1. I live in a _______________________________________________.
2. My favourite colour is _______________________________________________.
3. I have a dog called _______________________________________________.
Information Gap 1 - Looking for a Job
Get the students working in pairs.
Give one person of each pair the Student A page and the other the Student B page.
There are four different jobs being advertised in the local paper. However, there are ten gaps on each page.
Students should ask each other questions to find out the information that is missing from their page, then write it down, asking for spellings as necessary.
Encourage them to communicate verbally to get the answers, rather than letting each other look at their pages!
When all the students have finished, bring the group back together and ask checking questions to elicit the answers, as well as to find out how much the students have understood about the other material in the adverts.

Return to Kangaroo Island
How to use the ‘Map of Kangaroo Island’:
The map could be used in several different ways:
1. The most obvious use is as a treasure map. Give learners a map and tell them that there is some buried treasure hidden in one of the squares. Each learner selects a square in turn. Tell them if the treasure is there or not. If it is not the right square everyone must put a cross through it. Keep going until someone guesses correctly. You could also add some forfeits in different squares – for example: ‘B5 – recite the alphabet backwards’, or spot prizes if you are feeling generous! Depending on time and how the game is going, give clues by saying whether the guess is ‘hot’ or ‘cold’ (near or far away). The aim of the game is to practise learners’ listening skills.
