What is ‘ask and switch’?
Ask and switch involves students using cards to prompt short paired discussions
How it works
This activity needs at least six students and the cards need to be prepared in advance. Each student begins with a different question card. Students pair up and ask each other the questions on their cards. They then switch cards and repeat the process with new partners until the time is up.
Across the curriculum
This activity is so versatile. It can be used in every subject and for all ages of students (who can read)! The questions can be factual as a way of reviewing learning or checking prior knowledge or they can ask for opinions. Great as a revision activity!
