13 Be All Ears

This game aims to have students ask for confirmations. The game requires students to confirm what they
remember about their classmates. By this way, it also promotes students’ acquaintance with each other.

Materials and Preparation
No material or preparation is required.

Procedure
1 Ask all students in the class to tell five statements about themselves in turns.
2 Tell them that they are not allowed to write down anything related to the statements they hear.
Instead, ask them to keep the statements in memory.
3 When every student in the class has told five statements, check what they remember about their
classmates. To do this, tell students to ask questions using question tags for confirmation. The
questions will be asked to the class and those who remember the answers as in the example below.

E.g. Ali (a volunteer student) asks:
• Özlem, you are from Köyceğiz, aren’t you?
Özlem: Yes, I am.
• Ahmet, you visited your relatives yesterday, didn’t you?
Ahmet: No, I didn’t.
• Murat, you will go to an amusement park next week, won’t you?
Murat: Yes, I will.
• Yeliz, your mom has just bought a birthday present for you, hasn’t she?
Yeliz: No, she hasn’t bought it yet. She only wants to buy it.

4 For each correct recall, award one point for student. The student with the highest score wins the
game.
