Fun video for practising questions



A friend sent me a link to a video showing Charlotte in the bath a few weeks ago:

While I was watching it, my teacher's brain started ticking over and I thought it would be great (and fun!) to use it in class to practise questions at low levels.

It's short (it lasts 31 seconds!)  So, students could watch it without any viewing or listening task and just enjoy!

Next, they could be asked to count the number of questions Charlotte is asked.  (10)

Then, they could listen and say how many times the question 'Do you love .....?' is asked (6) and which other questions are asked (Do you want a million dollars?  Do you want to go night night?  Did you have a good Christmas?  Is there anything you like?)

You could discuss with students which question that Charlotte answers no to and they find most surprising.

Then, you could ask them to write questions that people would normally answer 'yes' to and then they roleplay  - one student is Charlotte and has to say 'no' convincingly to all the questions!
