PAIR WORK
FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS

Time: 20 minutes
Preparation: Copy the handouts (A and B) one set for each
pair.
Method:
1. - Draw a 4x4 grid on the board. In the square in the top right-hand corner
draw a sun and a square in the opposite bottom corner. Draw a few obstacles
in the way. Ask class how to go from the square to the sun and follow their
instructions. Make sure they can all use go up/down/left/right. Now check
understanding of the key vocabulary by asking volunteers to come up to the
board and draw: a cup/ a moon/ a sun / a tree/ a star.
2. - Divide the class into pairs (A and B). Ask each pair to decide who will be
the artist and who will be the talker. Then distribute the appropriate
handouts (A to the artist and B to the talker). Stress that they must not show
each other their handout.
3. - Allow a minute or two for the B students to fill in the extra 6 squares as
detailed al the top of their sheets. While they are doing this, point out to the
A students that if they do not understand what their partner says or means,
they can say Im sorry, I dont understand, Could you say it again, please?
Now pairs work together with students B reading out as clearly as possible the
instructions. (1-16) and student A drawing and writing as instructed. Walk
round the room while they are working to help anyone in difficulties and also
to make sure that they are not looking at each others rectangles.
4. - After 10 minutes stop the activity and ask the students to look at their
partners rectangles. Congratulate those who are the most accurate.




STUDENT A: Here is a rectangle with sixteen squares. Listen to your
partner, who will give you instructions. Draw or write something in each square.
