People in My Class – A Survey
1. Give students a
list of adjectives that can be used to describe people. You may want to include adjectives like tall, short, young,
old, long, fast, strong, big, small etc.
2. A survey form can be prepared for them.
Students answer the question using the superlative form of each adjective. The
sentence should be about a person in their class.

3. Once the sentences are completed, each person should write a
list of the persons who appeared in their sentences. Pairs of students should
then exchange lists of people but keep their sentences to themselves.
4.
Each person should ask questions about their
partner’s list and try to match each person to their superlative adjective. For
example, a student might ask, “Is Nelson the oldest person in the class?” The
other person should answer with a yes or an explanation. “No, Nelson is not the
oldest person in the class.”
5. Give them ten to fifteen minutes to ask each other questions,
and then see who in your class figured out the most students’ qualities.
The "Most" Students (Award Ceremony)
1.
Give
your students a list of “most” statements about their classmates.
2.
Then,
hold your own classroom vote for the “most” students in the class.
3.
Use any
of the standard most as well as some ESL specific qualities as the following;
·
The nicest
smile
·
The
longest hair
·
The
fairest skin
·
The
smartest
·
The
tallest
·
The
quietest
·
The
fastest
·
The most
artistic
4.
Then
have your students cast a secret poll for the “most” students in your classroom
and collect their responses. After you tally the answers, make sure each person
in the class wins a “most” award.
5.
Teacher
may need to give the same title to more than one student
to do so. In class, present the awards in a humorous ceremony (ribbons, pins or
simple gifts). Post the winners on a bulletin board for your class to enjoy.
Cards
Game: Comparative and Superlative
1.
This game aims to teach students how
to make comparative and superlative sentences from a range of adjectives.
2.
Divide students to work in groups of 3 or 4. Each group has a set of
topic cards and adjective cards. Each student in turn picks up an adjective
card and chooses a topic.
3.
The student has to make a
comparative or superlative sentence using the adjective. The sentence must be
related to the topic. Students receive one point for each grammatically correct sentence.
The student with the largest number of points by the end of the card game wins.
Compare it
1 This speaking task is perfect for teaching
students how they can produce comparative or superlative sentences.
2.
Students work in groups of three.
They play a category
card game where they turn over two cards of the
same
category and make a comparison
between the two words.
3. If a student turns over two identical words,
they make
a comparative or superlative sentence. If a student completes
the
comparative or superlative sentence correctly, they
keep the two cards.
The student with the most
cards at the end is the winner.
