Brief Outline: Students do a survey in class to see how often they help their mother around the house. 

Materials Needed:

• HouseholdChores worksheet

Detailed Explanation:

1. Students have to interview 4 other students (preferably 2 boys and 2 girls).
2. They ask the questions and correlate the information when they're done with the questions.
3. Afterwards teachers do a classwide survey by asking the same questions and seeing how many students reply in the affirmative.
    

Teaching Suggestions:

• I find it useful to have students assign symbols to each person they interview. Eg. Yuki = 〇 , Yuka = □ , Yuji = △ Yuya = ☆

Tips/Cautions:

• It's best to put them into groups of 6 for this activity (3 boys, 3 girls).
• If you have them walk around the class it becomes, noisy, chaotic and basically party time.
• Students often find this survey very interesting and enjoy seeing the results afterwards.
• Sometimes I think it even shames them in to helping out around the house a more.
