Activity of the week - Brainstorm 3

This week's activity is a fun alternative or addition to 'Concept Checking Questions.'
Its very simple and requires no preparation!


  • Divide the class into small groups of 3 or 4.
  • The teacher calls out  CCQs using the target language; the groups have to brainstorm 3 examples. For instance, if the lesson is about adjectives of feeling, you could use '3 things that make people jealous'  or  '3 things that make people annoyed in the cinema'  or '3 things that might make you feel relieved'
  • The groups then brainstorm and write down 3 things.The first group to do it holds up their paper and shouts out!
  • The teacher then reads the examples and if all the class agree then that team scores a point.
A simple way to concept check and make sure the students have REALLY understood the meaning of words.

Have fun!
