The learner can give information about him/herself.

Material

  • Black board or something alike.

Preparation

  • Draw a hand on the board and name every finger.
  • Label every finger
    • Thumb                   I’m good at …
    • Index finger          I want to learn how to …
    • Middle finger       I don’t care about …
    • Ring finger            I love …
    • Little finger           I don’t know a lot about …

Instructions

  • Start by completing the sentences yourself.
  • Give the learners some time to think about their five fingers.
  • Let every learner introduce his/her hand.

Variant

  • You can also label the whole hand: What do you want to give?
    And the other hand: What do you want to receive?
  • You can change the labels, e.g. to practice the simple past, e.g.
    When you were a child, what were you good at? What didn’t you like?…
