Procedure
1. Tell students they are going to guess what their partner 
did or didn’t do last weekend. To model the activity, 
ask students to guess what you did or didn’t do last 
weekend. Elicit a few ideas and write them on the board, 
for example: You watched a basketball game on TV. 
You shopped online. You didn’t call your mother. Then 
tell students which guesses were correct. Correct the 
information in the wrong guesses, for example: I didn’t 
watch a basketball game on TV. I watched a movie with 
my family.
2. Put students in pairs and distribute worksheets. Each 
student receives one worksheet. Have students read the 
sentences on the sheet. Answer any questions about 
vocabulary.
3. Have students check Yes or No in the My guess column 
for each statement. Make sure students do not look at 
their partner’s sheet or discuss the sentences yet. Give 
students about five minutes to do this.
4. Have students share their guesses with their partner 
and check them. They check Yes or No in the Correct 
information column. For example:
 A: I think you stayed at home Friday night with a good 
book.
 B: That’s right! I’m reading a great book about famous 
artists.
 A: You didn’t watch a movie, and you didn’t cry.
 B: That’s wrong. I watched a very sad movie, and I cried 
a lot.
5. As students are working, walk around to monitor the 
activity and help as needed. Encourage students to add 
extra information as they discuss the guesses. Make note 
of any errors or problems to review later. End the activity 
promptly after 20 minutes.
6. Find out which students in the class had the most correct 
guesses. Have a few students tell the class about their 
partner’s weekend.
