Process: Preparation -          Make enough copies of a worksheet (or Activity Book page) so each group of 3-4 Ss can have one. -          Cut the worksheets up so that each question or answer is on a single slip of paper. Model -          Divide students into groups of 3-4. -          Show/Write a sentence card on the board. E.g. “I am a triangle.” Ask students to read it. -          Show a picture of a circle and place it next to the sentence. “Is this correct?” (No) -          Repeat with other shapes. Show a picture of a triangle. “Is this correct?” (Yes) Task -          Distribute question sets to each group and ask them to match. -          Circulate and assist, asking Ss to read the sentences aloud or pointing to various shapes for spoken practice. -          Check answers verbally within groups or as a class.

Benefits: This is a fun and interactive way of completing a worksheet. It encourages students to work together and makes worksheets more physical.

Anticipated Problems: It is a good idea to mix the groups up to include strong and weak students in the same group. This way, the stronger students can help peer-teach their classmates. It also evens out the competition between groups.
