speaking skills.

Materials and Preparation

Copy and cut out the photocopiable material on page 127.

Procedure

1 Divide the class into two teams as A and B.
2 Put the shuffled cards on a table and ask both teams to send a volunteer to pick up an information card and start the
game.
3 Tell students that they are going to read the information of a landmark or a monument on the card and try to find out
what it is. Set a time limit, e.g. 2 minutes for each group to guess the answer. The team that guesses correctly gets
5 points.
4 If one of the teams cannot guess or gives a wrong answer, the other team can make a guess and take turns.
5 The team with the highest score wins the game.

2 Get students take it in turns to ask for and give information about the monuments and historic sites on their worksheet
and complete the missing information. Remind them to use wh-questions and the Passive Voice in their dialogs.

• Which one do you find the least interesting? Why?
• What else do you wish to learn about these sites?
