Match the Whose

Submitted by: Joyce P. Le     Borrowed or inspired from: Old Games     Date added: 01-12-08

Brief Outline:  Students match the items to the people by practice listening and speaking.

 

Materials Needed

  • MatchTheWhose worksheets (3 in total)

 

Teaching Suggestions:

  • Make your own answers for the listening part or use the dialogue below. For higher level class, teachers can consider teaching students how to change the question for plural nouns. For example, instead of “Whose book is this?” it should be “Whose books are these?”
    •  
      ALT: Whose book is this?              JTE: It’s Bill’s.
    •  
      ALT: Whose tea (tea pot) is this?   JTE: It’s Bart Simpson’s.
    • ALT: Whose ice cream is this?      JTE: It’s Koji and Lisa’s.
    • ALT: Whose pencil is this?            JTE: It’s the JHS students’.
    • JTE: Whose snowboard is this?     ALT: It’s Mike’s.
    • JTE: Whose clock is this?             ALT: It’s Koji and Lisa’s.
    • JTE: Whose Doraemon is this?      ALT: It’s Bart Simpson’s.
    • JTE: Whose can is this?               ALT: It’s Mike’s.

 

Detailed Explanation:

  1. Let’s Listen: JTE and ALT will rotate asking and answering questions for the listening exercise. Students will listen and connect the items with the correct person. Then teachers will check the answers by asking the questions and randomly choosing students (or ask for volunteers) to answer the questions.
  2. Let’s Write: Tell students to write the questions next to the items that they need to find the answer for. It is easier to explain this by drawing an example on the board. Draw 3 random items (apple, flower and tree) and 2 people. Connect one of the items (flower) to the person with a line and write number 1 and 2 next to the items (apple and tree) that are not connected. Then number the apple and the tree in numerical order and next to them, write the questions. For example, “Whose apple is this?” and “Whose tree is this?” Give students a few minutes to write their questions.
  3. Let’s Speak: Tell students with worksheet A to find students with worksheet B for the interview part. Students will play Janken and only the winner gets to ask a question. Students must play Janken for every question.

 

Variations and Options:

  • Plural and singular: For higher level class, use both plural and singular nouns in the sentences. For example “Whose balloons are these?” instead of “Whose balloon is this?” since there are 3 balloons in the picture.
