How it works

One of twelve interview cards

“What’s something you’ve got better at this year?”

The other eleven cards are in the download.

1
Pick a partner.

Students pair up with anyone sitting nearby, so there is no need to plan pairs ahead of time.

2
Ask, then listen.

One student draws a card and asks their partner the question on it. They then listen for a full minute without interrupting.

3
Swap.

Then the partners swap over, and the other student asks the same question back or draws a new card of their own.
