10 Do you prefer...?

This activity aims at expressing preferences. It also encourages students to improve their speaking, listening, writing and
reading skills.

Materials and Preparation
Prepare five strips of empty paper for each student in the class.

Procedure

1 Hand out five strips of paper to each student.
2 Have them write something they prefer to do, eat, play, etc. on each piece of paper.
3 Then, collect these notes, mix them up, and give them back to the students (three notes for each student).
4 At this point, all the students stand up and go around the class. They ask questions to find the owner of each note
that they have. If someone is finished, you can give them another piece of paper from the notes that you have.
E.g.
• Do you prefer football to basketball?
• Which fruit do you prefer having?
• Do you prefer shopping to going to cinema?
5 Students may also ask one or two follow-up questions about what they’ve learned about their partner.
6 To sum up the activity, ask the students what the most interesting thing they learned about a friend was.
