Activity type: Small-group information gap and discussion
Time: 15–20 minutes
Preparation:  Click here to download the activity sheets. Print them out. Photocopy "Student A" sheets for half of the class and "Student B" sheets for the other half.
Procedure: Have students form pairs. Next give one of each information sheet to every pair. Explain that they need to ask each other questions to complete the chart in part 1. Then they need to read the information and answer the questions. Write the following models on the board as a guide:
What's the maximum average temperature in [month]?
What's the minimum average temperature in [month]?
How much rain falls in [month]?
How many rainy days are there in [month]?
When all the students complete their charts, tell them to read the tourist information in part 2. Then divide the class into groups of four to six students, and have them discuss the questions in part 3 using the climate tables and the tourist information.
Option: Have students discuss the average yearly weather in their city or country and give an example of at least one activity that they can do during each season.
