| Title | Activities to Practice Question Words |
| Body | To practice question words, have them make an invitation to a dance, prom, Friday night football game, service project event, or some activity they like to do. Perhaps dividing the class and doing an information gap activity where one half has the event specifics (football game, 6:30, Friday October ?, 2005, to show school spirit, home team from our school, away team from place X) and the other half has the corresponding questions (What?, When? Why? From where?) would be useful. Not everyone who receives event specifics has to receive the same information. You could take ideas from several events. Remember that "When?" could have several meanings, including time, date, and day. Remember to explain that the vocabulary words for date referring to a numerical date and an appointment are different: fecha vs. cita. Conn, A. question activity.

But not like they do on TV, where the 'clue' is NOT the way a "real person" would answer. Rather, for an answer like "En su oficina," the question would have to be "¿Dónde está One thing I like about this is that although each answer has wrong questions, there are also a lot of right questions for most answers. Creative students can get a few laughs while you play. If you have money to spend, you can even get quite fancy: http://www.wieser-ed.com/classroomjeopardy.htm Groleau, W. Re: question words.

I have the kids get with a partner. I pass out the envelopes and give the kids time to match the questions and answers. Brown, T. Re: question words.
