worksheet along the dotted line, so the questions and answers
are separate.
Level
Pre-intermediate (A2) Explain that the students are going to play a game where they
guess 'Wh' questions from answers written by other students.
Time One student begins by placing their answers on the desk for the
other two students to see.
40 minutes
These two students read the first answer and take it in turns to
guess the question.
It's not important that the students say the exact wording of the
question, but the question should be grammatically correct with
the same tense and meaning.
The first student to guess the question scores one point.
If the two students are having problems thinking of the right

question, the student who wrote the answer can give them a clue,
e.g. 'It’s a question about learning'. 'It's a question about the
past', etc.
This process continues until all three students’ questions have

been guessed correctly. The student with the most points at the
end of the game wins.
