In a “Find Someone Who” activity, students engage in a speaking exercise where they seek out classmates who match given descriptions. Each student receives a list of statements and must ask their peers questions based on these statements. For example, if the statement is “Find someone who used to create handmade jewelry” the student must find a classmate who fits that description, note their name, and share the information with the group, possibly asking for additional details related to the statement.
This “Find Someone Who” activity is designed to practice using Used To.
You can also encourage your students to ask follow-up questions.
Example:
Student A: Did you use to create handmade jewelry?
Student B: Yes, I used to make necklaces and bracelets.
Student A: That sounds fascinating! Did you use to sell your jewelry?
Student B: Yes, I used to sell it at local craft fairs and online.
Student A: Did you use to take any classes to learn how to make jewelry?
Student B: Yes, I used to take workshops at a community center. I learned a lot of different techniques there.
Student A: Great!
etc.
