1. Write “Thanksgiving” on the board and elicit from the students what they know about the holiday. Ask additional questions about the history of the celebration, the traditions and symbols connected with it. Next, tell the students that they are going to find out some more facts about Thanksgiving.

2. Divide your students into two big groups and make the groups work separately. Give out copies of Student’s Worksheet A to the students in one group and copies of Student’s Worksheet B to the students in the other. Tell the students in each group to work together and complete the information in the table. Monitor and help as they do this. When a group has finished, check their answers with the key silently, so that the other group cannot hear.

3. Working with one or two other members of their group, the students complete the questions in Task 2. All of the questions are related to the trivia from Task 1. Monitor, help and check as they do this.

4. When the questions are ready, pair each student from group A with a student from group B. The students read out their questions to their partners and quiz them. Before they start, make sure that the students understand this is more of a fun guessing game than a knowledge check.

5. When the students have finished, ask each pair to look at all of the twenty facts together and choose the five that were the most interesting or surprising to them. Collect feedback with the whole group.

6. As a wind down, ask the students to put their worksheets face down and quiz them on the trivia yourself.
