This document outlines an activity to practice asking and answering wh- questions in the present and past tense. Students are divided into groups and each group is given wh- question words like who, what, when, where. The teacher reads an answer and the first student from a group to sit in the designated chair with the correct question word scores points. Their goal is to form a complete wh- question using the question word and present tense verbs. There are example answers and questions provided.
