You are
a civilian
You
are the
burglar
This is a conversation game for elementary to lower intermediate students. Practise simple present
QUESTIONS and ANSWERS. Set of 30 cahracter cards (numbered 1-30).
How to play:
1) Tell the class that there has been a robbery and they will interview their fellow students to
find out who the robber is.
STORY:
Yesterday at 10:00 pm there was a robbery in the Bank in Central Lane. The police
was called immediately to investigate the crime scene and found some evidence. It
had snowed yesterday (or rained) there were footprints on the ground in the snow
(or mudd)...
2) Give each student a character card. Each card has a small number in the lower right corner (130) so to identify them easily. Make sure that you choose a number to be the burglar before
you hand them out and know the personal info on the card.
3) Tell the students to look at their card and notice the number, but dont show anyone.
4) Identifiy the burglar by saying Number 12 (or any other number) is the murderer so only one
person (and you) knows he is the burglar but should be secretive so that the others dont notice
You could also give out one Burglar Card and Civilian Cards for the rest of the students (see
bottom of page 4) to assign the burglar...
5) Now give some information about the burglar
STORY:
...The police found some evidence at the crime scene. The footprints are in shoe
size EUR 45, US 11,5 (pick your shoe size according to the burglar character).
And they also found... insert some more information, choose two, or three from
the list of personal info on the card and write it on the board:
Name: Terry Coleman

Age: 41
Job: news caster
Home: California
Pet: dog Gizmo
dont give this info

A birthday card saying Happy 41st birthday
A paycheck for a news caster (although all jobs are different and may
not evoke enough confusion) maybe dont give this info
A postcard from California
A big novel book
A photo of two little boys
some dog hair
6) Tell your students to go round the class and ask/answer questions about the personal
information and take notes (Whats your name? Whats your job? Where are you from? What
are your hobbies? Are you married? Do you have any children? Do you have a pet?)
7) After a couple of minutes they should figure out whose personal information match the
evidence on the board.
Have fun!

NOTE: You could leave the burglar story out and just
have the students take on the characters and ask
questions to practise speaking.
