Are you looking for an idea how to teach question structurs to your ESL kids? Here is presented a Wh- question activity which helps them with practising word order in English questions.
Age: 10-12
Language focus: Wh- question structure in present tense
Materials:
- a poster with scrambled sentences,
- word cards to make questions,
- worksheets for additional practise
Procedure:
- Firstly, attache the poster with scrambled sentences to the board and ask students to make as many question as they can with given words. They can write them down in their notebooks or say aloud in turns. Optionally you can write scrambled sentences on the board.
2. Then divide students into groups of three and distribute the word cards. Click on the image below to download word cards for Wh-questions.
