You than put them in pairs and tell them that on the wall they see two different sheets of paper (A and B) with information about the children. One student needs to copy all the sentences from sheet A and the other from sheet B. THey get up, go to the wall, read the sentence, go back to their desk and write them down. Once they have finished you can put a transperancy on the overhead projector and let them check their sentences on any mistakes. Than you hand them out the copy of the house and tell them to complete it with the information their got from their sheets A and B.
