Let’s find the differences Activity 5 A

You and your partner have two very similar, but not

identical, drawings of a family at home. Take turns

asking each other yes / no questions about what the

people are doing. Circle any people that aren’t doing

the same activity in both pictures. For example:

A: Is Carlos reading in your picture?

B: No, he’s not. He’s watching TV. Is Elena washing

the dishes in your picture?

A: Yes, she is.

After discussing all eight people, compare

pictures to check your answers.
