I’ve shared activities in the past to practice question formation. However, I’d like to offer one more in case you have a group of beginners who are still limited to the simple present tense. Please view my Naming Names_handout. You may find that the activity is similar to games you’ve either heard about or played before. The idea is simple. It’s a guessing game to discover who the mystery person is. Hopefully, this handout will prove to be a time-saver for you. Enjoy and recycle it as many times as you can!

English with Jennifer 
This is great! I’ve always wanted to “Guess Who?” in the classroom without having to buy the board game. Thanks!
Well, you can still use the board game to really focus on physical appearance, but it still has the feel of a children’s game. In contrast, the handout I created has the older learner in mind. Either way, enjoy!

I ‘ve watched the video and tried to use the information on my lesson. My student, 34 year old beginner, was excited. She was happy she can ask and answer questions. She works at the hotel and really needs good speaking skills, but she is afraid to speak to foreigners. This made her more confident. At the end of the lesson we played the game, it was more difficult for her, but she enjoyed it as well.
Thank you for writing, Ksenia. I played the game with Natasha. First, I asked the questions to guess her mystery person. Then she asked me. I had to correct and prompt at times especially with the pronouns he and she and agreement with the helping verbs, but communication was successful. I really like that she had to keep scanning the information in English to ask and answer questions. One challenge is to get her thinking more and more in English. I left copies of the handouts with her and encouraged her to play again with her elder daughter.
