After Thanksgiving break, it’s the perfect time to get students talking, moving, and practicing grammar again! This printable Find Someone Who activity from the Write & Find series adds an engaging twist to the classic walk-the-room game: before students begin interviewing classmates, they must write their own questions based on each prompt card.
This simple addition turns the activity into a powerful way to review past simple tense, question formation, vocabulary, and communication skills—all while keeping students active after the holiday break.

Prompt card: Find someone who ate a cupcake instead of pie
Student question: Did you eat a cupcake instead of pie?
