9 Missing Places

This activity aims to practise asking for and giving directions to places on a map.
Materials and Preparation
Make one copy of the worksheet for each pair of students on page 25 and cut up as indicated.

Procedure
1 Tell students that they must keep their worksheet secret until they finish the activity.
2 Explain that both students have the same map, but each student has different places missing. Tell
them to ask their partner for directions to eight places and write the locations on the map.
3 Have Student A go first and ask Student B for directions to one of the missing places written on the
worksheet. Tell Student A to listen to his/her partner’s directions and mark the location by writing
the name of the place on the map. When Student A finds all the missing places, have them swap
roles.
4 Ask students to compare their maps to see if they have marked the places correctly.

10 Pick Up and Tell

This activity aims to have students read and complete sentences about possessions.

Materials and Preparation
Copy and cut up the cards on page 26.
Procedure
1 Divide students into three groups.
2 Put the sentence cards you have cut up in a bag. Tell students to pick up one in the bag and read the
sentence aloud to his/her group members for the answer. Tell students that each group has only
one chance to answer. If the answer is correct, let the group keep the card. Continue the process for
each group in turns.
3 Count the cards each group has and announce the winner.
