Familly+Tree+Info+Gap

I created a family tree template with pictures/ photos but no names on it and gave each student a copy (I try to use silly photos of my family to get them laughing). I then showed a slideshow of my family and presented each family member on a slide. I verbally presented the family member and their name: "Voici mon pere, il s'appelle Rod, voici ma mere, elle s'appelle Judy, etc." During my presentation students fill out the copy of the family tree with the names of each family member. We then fill it in together and see how well (or horribly!- in a silly way) they have done putting my family together. user:mllegibbs

Similar to this activity, I created an info gap activity for partners. I created a Form A on pink paper and a Form B on yellow. I also typed out questions for the students to ask. On both Forms information was missing. The goal was for each person to ask questions about the information they were missing. At the end, both Forms were completely filled out. This activity was incredibly successful and helped students with asking and answering questions in Spanish - in complete sentences, of course! user:blitzsar
