Find Someone Who

find-someone-who

Great for large or small groups. Give out the “Find Someone Who” list to students and have them go from student to student looking for someone who meets the descriptions on their list.

Example: Find someone who is wearing blue pants. The student who fits this description signs their name. Students then go off to find someone else that meets another description on their list. The winner is the one who has their sheet filled out first and most accurately. You should read aloud the list with the person’s name who signed it. Have the student who signed the list verify the information.

Example: Find someone who can belch the alphabet. If Joe signed that item, have Joe come up and demonstrate.

Items needed:

    • Find Someone List (make one up and make enough copies for everyone.)

 

  • Pencils or pens
