Activity 5 Play “Birthday line”.   
10 min
Objectives:  to energise the pupils;
 
to have fun.
STEP 1: Tell the pupils to imagine a line in the classroom. 
Point to the place where the line begins and say ‘This is Janu-
ary’. Then point to a place far from January and say ‘This is 
December’. 
STEP 2: explain that the pupils should stand along the line in 
the order of the months of their birthdays. They will need to ask 
each other the question ‘When’s your birthday?’ and answer ‘it’s 
in ...’ to find out exactly where they should stand. The pupils 
should find out who is before and after them. When they find 
their place in the line, they should stay there until everyone has 
found his/her place. 
STEP 3: When the line is ready, the first pupil in the line 
must say: ‘My birthday is in ...’. Then s/he must turn and ask 
the question ‘When’s your birthday?’ from the pupil next to him/
her. s/he says his/her birthday month and asks the question from 
the pupil next to him/her. etc. as shown in the example below:
