This activity is designed to be used as a warmer for Intermediate level learners. It could be used to generate interest in amazing facts as a lead in to a lesson using comparatives and superlatives.

Procedure

• Cut out the amazing facts

• As the learners enter the room give an amazing fact to each one.

• Ask the learners to write an ‘f’ on their sheet is they think the statement is false and a ‘t’ if they think the statement is true.

• Learners then read their statements to the other members of the class and write down on their statement an ‘f’ or a ‘t’ depending on whether their colleagues think the statement is true or false.

• The student will have a list of ‘f’s and ‘t’s depending on the response from the colleagues.

• Ask learners in corresponding order to read out their statements and report how many learners think the statements are true or false. Write these results on the board.

• Read out answers and elicit the answers to the false statements.
