Young Learners Science – Question Loop Reading/Speaking/Listening Activities
How do they work? Each pupil receives a strip of paper containing a question or a definition and an answer to a separate question. One pupil begins by reading out their question to the rest of the class. The rest of the class looks at their slips of paper to see if they have the answer. When one pupil spots that they have the answer, they shout it out, then read out their own question. The process continues until the questions loop back to the beginning. Very easy, fun, and effective!
Each set of question loops is accompanied by procedural guidance on exactly how to conduct the activity in class.
