The OUP ELT blog team’s article on placing the students in pairs is a must read.<\/p>\n

OUP team says, “The suggestions are organised into two sets. The first set of suggestions gets students to form a line which the teacher then divides up into pairs or groups of the desired size. The second set of suggestions gets students directly into the pairs or groups.<\/p>\n

Form a line<\/strong><\/p>\n

This grouping method requires students to stand up and form a line, complying to the set rule. The teacher then divides the line into pairs or groups. All except one of these require no extra preparation before class.<\/p>\n

  1. When did you last eat ice cream?<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Students get into a line ranked in order of when they last ate ice cream (pizza, chocolate, etc.). The teacher then divides the line into pairs or groups as required.<\/li>\n
  2. Something in your bag or pocket<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Each student chooses and takes out a personal item that they have in their bag or pocket (encourage students to choose a more unusual item, not just a pen, keys, a coin, etc.). Students get into a line in alphabetical order of the spelling of the name of the item they are holding. The teacher then divides the line into pairs or groups.<\/li>\n
  3. Birthdays<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Students get into a line ranked in the order of their birthdays in the year. The teacher then divides the line into pairs or groups”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
