Level: all
Materials: none
Time: 5/10 minutes
Focus: practicing structures, descriptive vocabulary, warming up, remembering names.
All the students sit in a circle except one who stands in the middle. He asks anyone in the group a question: Do you like sitting next to Peter and Jennifer?
The student who is asked the question answers in the following way: Sure, I like sitting next to them , but I'd rather sit next to someone wearing a blue shirt. (or whatever the two neighbours are not wearing). Then, the neighbours and the students wearing a blue shirt change places. The person in the middle tries to get a seat.
