4 Family Ties

This activity aims to revise and consolidate family member vocabulary.
Materials and Preparation
Copy the family tree on page 20 and make sure that each student in the class has one.

Procedure
1 Give each student a copy of the family tree and make sure that students understand the concept of
a family tree i.e. how children, siblings, and marriages (=) are shown. Then, tell them that the squares
are for the males while the circles are for the females.
2 To check students’ understanding, you can ask them some questions like “Where is Nuran’s
grandfather?” Then, tell students to write the given family member words in the correct banners
under the squares and circles on the tree.
3 Divide students into pairs—one of the pairs is Student A, and the other is Student B. Student A is
supposed to write a male name in each square on his/her own copy of the family tree while Student
B is supposed to write a female name in each circle on his/hers. Tell them that they should not look
at each other’s sheet.
4 Draw a simple family tree on the board and practise the aforementioned structures.
5 Tell students to take turns to ask each other questions about the family tree. Student A asks about
Nuran’s female relatives while Student B asks about Nuran’s male relatives.
6 When students have finished, have them compare their trees to check their answers. Both of the
family trees should be the same.
