Who Am I?

The game "Who Am I ? " is an excellent way of practising all kinds of question forms, e.g. present, past, with and without auxiliary. The teacher tells his class that he is going to pretend to be a famous per­son. He can be male, or female, dead or alive. By questioning him, the students have to guess who he is or was. Questions such as "What do you do ? " or "Where do you come from ? " are not allowed, as these give the game away too quickly, but questions such as "What do you do in your spare time? " and "Do you travel a lot? » can be permitted. After 6 or 7 questions have been asked, the teacher stops them and asks one of them to sum up what they know about him so far. The student will say: "So far, we know that...", etc. Then they try to guess "Who I Am".
