How To Use "Find Someone Who" Sheets
These exercises are useful as an opening exercise or at other times in class when you want students moving around and/or talking to each other (ideally, most of the time!) They are good for question formation, verb tense formation, vocabulary development, getting to know classmates, and other important language-learning areas.
To start the activity, it helps for the teacher to demonstrate a question or two, as well as write a model question and answer on the board. For example, if the question is "Find someone who knows Arabic", the student would ask a classmate, "Do you know Arabic?" If the other student answered, "Yes, I do", the first student would write the second student's name in the blank. If the other student answered, "No, I don't", the first student would not write the second student's name in the blank. The teacher can choose several ways to end the activity: 1) first student finished sits down, and then the teacher asks students to volunteer questions and answers, correcting as necessary; 2) as students finish, they sit down, and then the teacher asks students to volunteer questions and answers; the teacher ends the exercise when the majority of students have finished; or 3) the exercise can be extended until everyone has finished. In 3), it is important to have an extension activity for early finishers, such as "Write your own 'Find Someone Who' questions for this topic and ask your classmates the questions."
Another way to use "Find Someone Who" is as a chain drill. This is useful as an occasional strategy to model a grammatical construction, but chain drills get boring if used too often. For example, the teacher models the construct: "Do you speak French?" Student: "No, I don't." (To second student) "Do you speak French?" Third student: "Yes, I do." "Do you speak French?" Fourth student: "No, I don't."...and onward.
