GOFYN CWESTIYNAU – ASKING QUESTIONS

NOTES FOR UNIT 1 to 12

General guidelines

Suggestions for using the Drill Resources are given under each unit below, but here are some

general guidelines.

There are ideas for Stimuli for each Adnodd Drilio (Drill Resource) and Tasg (Task) -

see the separate file.

Before using the Drill Resources and Tasks, the pattern and the vocab should be

learnt or revised. There is vocabulary linked to each Drill Resource and Task for use

with the class and separate translations of all the vocabulary used in the resource.

A lot of help as regards vocabulary-learning techniques can be found on the web.

One of those suggested is creating a 'story' using the vocabulary. For example, with

the vocabulary of Appearance (Pryd a Gwedd), one could create a story where

someone sees different people who have ... gwallt hir, llygaid glas and so on.

The Adnoddau Drilio (Drill Resources) are deliberately open-ended, i.e. they can be

used many times to practise different questions on the same subject – e.g. different

persons of the verb - Wyt ti’n hoffi ...? / Ydy e/hi’n hoffi ...?

The Tasgau (Tasks) include Drag and drop, Typing a sentence with a written stimulus'

- i.e. choosing between two or three words and Typing a sentence with a picture

stimulus. On the whole, the Drag and drop are the easiest, so these could be an

useful place to start. There are translations available of all the tasks. The following

tasks in the revision units (Unit 7 and Unit 12) are also in pdf form so they can be

printed for learners to complete on paper: Unit 7, Tasks 17, 18, 19; Unit 12, Tasks

32, 33.

When using the Adnoddau Drilio (Drill Resources), it's possible to have fun by

dividing the class into teams to compete against each other - possibilities are given

in the units below.

Although the emphasis is on asking questions, this doesn't mean that learners

cannot give answers as well.

After using the resources for each unit, time should be allowed for learners to ask

each other and the teacher ‘authentic’ questions using the same pattern.

Unit 1

Ga i? / Oes?

Question

Activities Theme

Grammar and Introduction

Notes

Ga i? (May I?)

Drill Resource 1

Finding 'Cei' behind 'class

vocabulary' pictues.

There are 5 'Cei' to find.

Teams compete against each

other, asking the question in

order to reveal 'Cei'/'Na chei'

Occasional language

Attention needs to be drawn to the

soft mutation following 'Ga i...?' e.g.

Ga i fenthyg ...?

The mutation can be avoided by

putting the direct articule (y/'r/yr =

the) before the noun: e.g. 'Ga i'r

llyfr?' (Can I have the book) instead

of 'Ga i lyfr' (Can I have a book)

As is the case with all Drill Resources,

the relevant vocabulary should be

introduced before using the Drill

Resource.

Ga i? (May I?)

Task 1

Drag and Drop Activity

Occasional language

Drag and drop activity to reinforce

the work of Adnodd Drilio 1. (Drill

Resource 1.

Oes?

Choose the pattern to be

drilled from the ones below

e.g. during one session, 'ti'

could be concentrated on, and

other sessions could

concentrate on different

persons. See translation below:

South Wales: ‘Oes ci gyda

ti/Sam/fe/hi/ni/chi/nhw?’

North Wales: ‘Oes gen

ti/gan Sam/ganddo

fo/ganddi hi/gennyn

ni/gennych chi/ganddyn

nhw gi?’

(Do you/Sam/they / we

Does he/she have a dog?)

Drill Resource 2

One can 'Dewis a Dethol'

(Select) individual items to be

drilled - e.g. 6 items only.

Family and Pets

In north Wales, the soft mutation

after: Oes gen ti/ganddo fo/gennyn

ni...? etc. needs to be remembered

Oes gen ti gi?

The relevant vocabulary should be

introduced before using the Drill

Resource.

3

Oes?

Choose the pattern to be

drilled from the ones below

e.g. during one session, 'ti'

could be concentrated on, and

other sessions could look at

different persons. See

translation below.

South Wales: ‘Oes llygaid

glas gyda

ti/Sam/fe/hi/ni/chi/nhw?’

North Wales: ‘Oes gen

ti/gan Sam/ganddo

fo/ganddi hi/gennyn

ni/gennych chi/ganddyn

nhw lygaid glas?’

(Do you/Sam/they / we

Does he/she have blue eyes?)

Drill Resource 3

Spinner (pictures appear in

random order)

Appearance

In north Wales, the soft mutation

after: Oes gen ti/ganddo fo/gennyn

ni...? etc. needs to be remembered

Oes ganddo fo lygaid glas?

Use the pictures as a stimulus to get

learners to ask questions. After some

of the pictures have appeared,

learners can try and predict which

picture will appear next, or they can

predict which picture will be the last

to appear. This could happen in

teams. For example, one team

predicts which picture will appear

next and the other team asks the

question which does really appear. If

a team predicts correctly, they win

an extra point.

Oes school subject heddiw?

(Is there school subject today?)

Task 2

Typing a sentence with a

written stimulus

School subjects

Before the task: Introducing /

Revising school subjects - e.g.

Adnodd Drilio 5 (Unit 2) or pictures

on page 4 of Taith Iaith 1

Oes particular building yn y

dref? (Is there a particular building in town?)

Task 3


pictorial stimulus

Buildings in Town

Introducing / Revising buildings in

town - e.g. Adnodd Drilio 7 or the

pictures in Taith Iaith 2 page 29, 31,

32. Emphasis on: banc, castell,

ysbyty, eglwys, coleg, gwesty,

canolfan hamdden, gorsaf,

archfarchnad, theatr, swyddfa’r post.

(Do you / Does he / she / Does the boy/ the girl / Do the children / Do

you/ do they like?)

Wyt ti eisiau ...?

Ydy e/o/hi/y plant eisiau ...? Ydych chi eisiau ...? Ydyn nhw eisiau?


you/ do they want?)

Drill Resource 4

Spinner (pictures appear in random order)

Food If the teacher has chosen to drill '......

eisiau?', attention needs to be drawn to the

fact that 'n / yn doesn't appear before

'eisiau', e.g. ‘Wyt ti eisiau?’ (Not ‘Wyt ti’n

eisiau?’)

Use the pictures as a stimulus to get learners to ask questions. After some of the pictures have appeared, learners can try and predict which picture will appear next, or they can predict which picture will be the last to appear. This could happen in teams. For example, one team predicts which picture will appear next and the other team asks the question which does really appear. If a team predicts correctly, they win an extra point.



hoffi ...? Ydych chi’n hoffi ...? Ydyn nhw’n hoffi ...?


you/ do they like?)

Drill Resource 5

School subjects hidden

behind a 1-12 Grid

School subjects The game can be played as a whole class or

as two or more teams, with teams

challenging each other to ask a question

correctly. Also, an element of guessing can

be introduced, with teams guessing what

subject will be the next / last to appear

under the numbers. The numbers

themselves could be used as points – e.g.

each team is given points to begin. Then,

team A chooses a number from the grid –

e.g. 3 – and asks a question – e.g. Wyt ti’n

hoffi Cymraeg? If Welsh is the picture

under the number, the team can add 3

points to their total. But if a different

picture appears under the number, they

lose the points.

Teacher can also ask for the correct answer if desired - Ydw / Ydy / Ydyn...



hoffi ...? Ydych chi’n hoffi ...?

Drill Resource 6

Spinner (pictures appear in random order)

Interests Use the pictures as a stimulus to get learners to ask questions. After some of the pictures have appeared, learners can try and predict which picture will appear next, or they can predict which picture will be the last to appear. This could happen in

Drill Resource 7

Revealing a picture Hidden underneath

individual tiles, is a

picture of an enlarged

item which could be seen

in one of the buildings in

town.

white board marker =

ysgol (school) piece of

plaster = ysbyty (hospital)

cheque = banc (bank)

gym equipment -

canolfan hamdden

(leisure centre)

popcorn = sinema

(cinema)

swimming trunks = pwll

nofio (swimming pool)

bottle of tomato sauce =

Buildings in Town Game can be played as a whole class or as

two or more teams, with the teams

challenging each other to ask the question

correctly in order to reveal the picture and

to guess which question is 'hidden' beneath

the buildings. Learners can guess what

building the enlarge picture is linked to by

asking the relevant question. e.g. popcorn

= sinema (cinema) – Ydy e’n mynd i’r

sinema?

Two teams could challenge each other and

bonus points could be given for guessing

the hidden question correctly, (and points

could be taken away for guessing the

hidden question incorrectly).

Everyday items

There are prices under each picture.

Learners need to ask the correct

question each time to find the

dearest and cheapest price. This

could be done in teams so that there

Drill Resource 14

1 - 12 Grid

Interests

The game can be played as a whole class

or as two or more teams, with the teams

challenging each other to ask a question

correctly. Also, an element of guessing

can be included - with teams guessing

which interest will be the next / last to

appear from beneath the numbers.

The numbers themselves could be used

as points – e.g. each team is given points

to begin. Then, team A chooses a number

from the grid – e.g. 3 – and asks a

question – e.g. Pryd wyt ti’n chwarae

tennis? If tennis is the picture under the

number, the team can add 3 points to

their total. But if a different picture

appears under the number, they lose the

points.

If some learners are really interested in

an activity, e.g. swimming - he/she could

be asked whether they would mind being

questioned in more detail, i.e. 'hot-

seating'. The learners could go through

the different question words - Ble...?

(Where) Pryd ...? (When?) Pam...?

(Why?) Sut ...? (How?) Gyda pwy/Efo

pwy ...? (With whom?) Then, after two

or three learners are questioned in this

way, the class can be split up into two

teams. They can challenge each other to

see how much they remember about the

learners' questions and ask questions in

the 3rd person - e.g. Ble mae Daniel yn

nofio? (Where does Daniel swim?) Efo

pwy mae Bethan yn chwarae tennis?

(Who does Bethan play tennis with?)

Pryd mae Rebecca yn chwarae gemau

cyfrifiadur? (When does Rebecca play

computer games?)

12

Ble mae’r ...? (Where is the …?)

Sut mae mynd i’r ...? (How do you/does one get to the …?)

Drill Resource 15

Finding buildings in town

Buildings in Town

Split the class into two teams. In one

game, every team will have an

opportunity to ask 6 questions. Team A

asks team B six questions to begin with

and then team B questions team A.

For example, team A asks a question, and

if it's correct, they'll get a point, e.g. Ble

mae’r sinema? (Where is the cinema?)

Then, team B will suggest a number.

Teacher clicks on the number - and it will

be revealed whether it is a cinema. If it is

a cinema, team B wins a point. If it isn't a

cinema, team A wins a point.

The teacher will then click again so that

the number conceals the building again.

So, the game will include an element of

trying to remember where every building

was.

When all the buildings are found, the

question 'Sut mae mynd i'r ...?' (How do

you get to the ...?' can be practised and

directions to reach a certain building in

town.

Ble mae ...? O ble mae ...? (Where is? From where do/is/are..?)

Pryd mae ...? (When is …?)

Drill Resource 16

Quiz

General - quiz

The class can be split into two teams.

They can challenge each other, to ask

questions first of all. When all the

questions have been asked, with a good

class only, one team can give the answer

and the other team can say what the

question was.

Pam wyt ti’n ...? (Why are you …?)

Pam mae e/o’n / hi’n ...? (Why is he/she …?)

Drill Resource 17

Grid of pictures - revealing an

enlarged picture behind the

grid

Hidden beneath the original

tiles is a picture of an

enlarged item linked to one of

the verbs introduced.

gwisgo (to wear) = shirt

yfed (to drink) = juice,

bwyta (to eat) = sandwich,

chwarae (to play) = games

console

darllen (to read) = book,

gwylio (to watch) = TV

prynu (to buy) = trolley

cael (to get) = wrapped gift

astudio (to study) =

subject/Mathematics

Verbs

Game can be played as a whole class

or as two or more teams, with the

teams challenging each other to ask

the question correctly in order to

reveal the picture and to guess

which question is 'hidden' beneath

the verbs. For example, if there is a

large picture of food underneath the

tiles, the question is 'Beth wyt ti'n

hoffi fwyta?' (What do you like

eating?)

Two teams could challenge each

other and bonus points could be

given for guessing the hidden

question correctly, (and points could

be taken away for guessing the


Beth wyt ti / mae e/o/hi’n wneud

(ar) ....? (What are you / is he/she doing (on) …? or

What do you do / does he/she do (on))

Drill Resource 18

Finding interests under

periods of free time

The class is split up into two teams -

team A asks, e.g. ‘Beth mae e’n

wneud (ar) nos Lun?’ (What does he

do / is he doing on Monday night?)

and team B suggest an interest.

Teacher/learner clicks on 'nos Lun'

(Monday night) and if team B have

guessed correctly, they win a point.

If the team hasn't guessed correctly,

the teacher/learner will click on the

interest so that it disappears. So

there will be an element of

remembering under which free

period of time the interests are.

Pwy wyt ti’n / mae e / o / hi’n /

ydych chi’n / maen nhw’n ....? (Who do you /does he/she / do you / do

they …? or

are you / is he / she / are you / are they ..?

Picture belt

Verbs

Aim of game is to delete the pictures

on the belt by stopping the belt,

enlarging the picture, asking the

question correctly and deleting the

picture. So, black gaps will appear

and the aim is to get a 'black belt'.

The class can be timed asking the

questions, teams can compete to try

and answer the questions faster

than each other, and so on.

to challenge each other or the fruit

machine can compete against the

learners - if learners cannot produce

a correct sentence, the machine gets

a point.
