ME IN 12 WORDS!!

My CALC students and I spent part of our first class today trying to get to know each other a little bit!! They learned a few things about me, my life, my family.... "Me in 12 words":

They did a great job finding out the right questions for the words above.

1. What's my name?
2. When is your birthday?
3. What time do I usually get up?
4. What´s my eldest son´s name?
5. When did I start teaching English at this school?
6. Which sport do I hate the most?
7. Where did I study English?
8. How many children do I have?
9. Where do I live?
10. What do I like doing in my free time?
11. What colour is my car?
12. Do I like my job?

Now I would like my CALC students to write their 12 words (don´t forget: ONLY WORDS!!) in the comments section below. The rest of the class can just try to guess the questions!! Do you feel like playing the game again?
