It is probably best to divide students into pairs for both parts of this worksheet so that you know who to give sheet A to, and who to give sheet B to.

In the first half, students can work together or individually to unscramble the questions in the left-hand box, and write the correct questions immediately below (also on the left-hand side). After this they should also try to produce and write "3rd person singualar" questions in the he / she box on the right. These will be needed later.

In a mixed nationality class they could then practice by indicating other class members around the room and asking their partners the questions in the right-hand box. In a single nationality class they could do the same thing either with magazine pictures or by blatantly lying about their class-mates.

In the second part, they use these questions to ask about "person number one", "person number two", etc. Despite the time spent on this already, you may want to model these questions and practice them together before proceeding. (e.g. Where is person number one from?   She's from Japan. What's her nationality?   She's Japanese.)

In this way, each pair member should eventually have a grid complete with sixteen countries, nationalities, capital cities and languages - all correctly spelt.

For the "countries A" worksheet use the first row below. For the "countries B" worksheet, use the second row below.

You have a choice of two different methods of getting this handout to your printer. It all depends on whether your computer has "Adobe Acrobat Reader" installed. If it has, then this would be the recommended method for printing out the worksheet. Try selecting the "PDF (Adobe Acrobat)" link below. If all goes well, a new application window should appear including a print button, which when selected will print out one copy.

If, on the other hand you do not have "Adobe Acrobat" select the "HTML (web page)" link below. (Also, this method is recommended for users of Netscape Navigator, which seems to have trouble interacting with the Acrobat program like this.) If all goes well, a new browser window will open, from which you can either click the "print button" on the toolbar or open the "File" menu, select "Print" and then adjust the "Print Dialog Box" to your own preferences.

The final link below is to enable you to print this "instruction page" if you want to. Click on the link, and when the page appears on a new screen you will be able to print it using the browser's "print button" or "file menu". After printing, close the window again so that you can continue to navigate around the site.
