Activity type: Group puzzle

Time: 10–15 minutes

Preparation:  Click here to download the activity sheet. Print it out. Photocopy one set of occupations for each group of eight students.

Procedure: Divide the class into groups of eight students. There are three complete sets of occupation slips. Give one slip to each student in each group. Tell them to imagine they're standing in a circle. Explain that each slip contains two occupations: their own and the occupation of the person standing in front of them. The task is to ask yes/no questions in order to find their place in the circle.

Option: To make the activity more challenging, have students do the activity as a class instead of in groups.
