Questions about daily routines mix and match

Instructions for teachers

There are three versions of this activity. The first one is given on one page to save paper and photocopying. The second is on cards to make it more flexible and to make matching up a more physical activity. However, the mix or match activity is usually best if done as a whole book, with each page cut into flaps which are turned separately to make good and bad matches. This makes it similar to the many mix and match books in which the reader makes people, monsters, etc with odd matches of head, body and legs, or more like the classic book Do You Like Ketchup on Your Cornflakes?

There are also a few possible activities, but the best is usually to get one student to make a wrong, funny or crazy match and then for one or more other students to make it more correct/ sensible while keeping as many parts the same as they can. In this case, this means one student trying to make a question which is sure to get a “No” answer, then their partner trying to change it to one which the original person will answer with “Yes”. All the options have at least one sensible match and at least one silly match.

To make a book, you need to staple the pages together on side, perhaps after adding a cover, and then cut along the dotted lines. You could also add suitable pictures to some or all flaps, but doing it without pictures means that students will have to concentrate more on the meaning of the words.

After reading, students could draw suitable pictures on their own copy of the book. Another option is for each student to draw one picture of their favourite silly combination, instead of drawing pictures for every page.

They could also make their own versions of this mix and match activity, perhaps keeping the same starters but changing the other columns/ cards/ flaps.
