When one pupil in the group gets the right answer, he/ she will exchange the role with the other student.

Option 3:

Divide pupils into groups of ten. Line face-to-face. One line takes turns to ask five friends standing opposite “What are they doing/ what is he/she doing?” and waits for their friends to answer based on their cards they are given by the teacher. When all members of a line complete asking, the first pupil moves to the opposite line. The game starts again. Until all members complete asking and answering. The game is over.
