Teaching notes

Ten family words to solve from clues that explain how each person is related to you: grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, cousin, sister, brother, daughter, son and wife. It suits A1 learners who know "mother" and "father" and are ready for the wider family, and it practices the possessive 's ("your father's brother").

Solve it together on the board, or let pairs race to fill in the grid. As a follow-up, ask learners to draw their own family tree and write clues for a partner ("My mother's sister is…"). Print it as a clue-matching worksheet with the answer key, play it live so each learner solves on their own phone, or switch it to Match up for a quicker round.
