4. Distribute identity cards. Explain that students are at a party and must mingle to find their long lost family members. They will be able to recognize them from their jobs and hobbies. Once the students have found all of their family members they can sit down together. (Note: Its easy to check family members since all of their names will end in the same sound.)
5. Alternative: If the teacher wants to add a little more structure to the activity, they can create concentric circles, a setup where half of the students stand in a circle facing outward and the other half faces them in a circle facing inward. Once students have asked each other all the questions they have practiced, they can rotate clockwise.
