Summary

Instructions

  • 1. Divide the trainees into groups of three or four.

  • 2. Explain that this activity is based on the game of dominoes (demonstrate by drawing dominoes on the board if necessary).

  • 3. Show the dominoes to the trainees and explain that by matching questions (on the right-hand side of each domino) with answers (on the left), they will eventually form a complete rectangle. Start the activity, setting a time limit of ten minutes.

  • 4. Monitor to ensure that all trainees are engaged; it is likely that group leaders may emerge! Exploit any ambiguities and queries by putting them back into the trainees’ hands to encourage group cooperation and confidence at this stage.

  • 5. Stop groups after ten minutes and have them rotate to the next group's workstation (elicit or feed in language: clockwise / anti-clockwise). Ask each group to check the previous group's work, making any necessary changes. Stop after two minutes and rotate again, then again if required.

  • 6. Conduct feedback, checking the answers and answering any queries. You could also ask the trainees which of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) gave them new information about the TKT.

Variation

Shuffle the dominoes and hand out one to each trainee standing in a circle. Have each trainee read their own question and the corresponding answer from the card next to them (on their left). The whole class listens, repositions, monitors and corrects, until the domino loop is complete.
