ME IN 12 WORDS!!

My students and I spent our first class today trying to get to know each other a little bit!! They learned a few things about me, my life, my family.... "Me in 12 words":

They did a great job finding out the right questions for the words above.

1. What's my name?
2. When was I born?
3. What time do I usually get up?
4. What´s my eldest son´s name?
5. When did I start teaching English at the school?
6. Which sport do I hate the most?
7. Where did I go on holiday last summer?
8. How many children do I have?
9. Where do I live?
10. What do I like doing at the weekends?
11. What colour is my car?
12. Do I like my job?

I would like my students to write their 12 words in the comments below. The rest of the class can just try to guess the questions!! Do you feel like playing the game again?
