How Many Drawing?

Submitted by: Raegina Taylor    Borrowed or inspired from: Akemi Wellington-Oguri     Date added: 09-18-07


Brief Outline:  Students practice the grammar using a race game activity.

 

Materials Needed:

  • HowManyDrawing worksheet - one per student

 

Detailed Explanation:

  1. ALT gives students a noun, for example ‘cats’. Students have 60 seconds to draw as many cats as possible on their paper. Be very strict about time, as racing to draw is what makes the game interesting.
  2. When time is up, students count their cats and write ‘I have __ cats. How many cats do you have?’. They swap papers with the student next to them, write the answer, and then switch papers back again.

 

Variations and Options:

  • Have students speak the question instead of writing it, and then recording the response.
  • Do half the activity as writing and half as speaking.
