Preparation: a collection of 18-20 pictures of people in three versions, each version containing 8-12 pictures, so that some pictures should appear in all three version and some in only one or two (you'll need a collection for each group) If you have no suitable pictures,
Preparation: one role card for each student; see below. If you want to save time, you can Download the cards in Word for Windows .doc format; the zipped file includes the cards needed for the next activity too.
The father Your idea of a holiday is something relaxing, short and cheap. Going abroad is so tiring. You like your brother very much - why not take him and his wife, too?
The mother You want to go to some exotic place like China or Peru, for at least three weeks. Unfortunately, you can't stand your brother-in-law - he should stay at home.
The 18-year-old daughter You want to go to the sea for at least two weeks, by plane, of course - and bring your boyfriend, too - this is the most important.
The 16-year-old son You don't want to go with your boring family anywhere - but if you have to, it should be as short and as close as possible.
The 13-year-old son You've never flown in your life - you very much want to try it. You like big cities where there are a lot of interesting things to do.
The father's brother You want to go with your brother's family wherever they go - and take your wife as well.
The neighbour You don't want them to go away, because they always ask you to look after their house, and you hate it.

The father You want to buy a car - and perhaps some new garden tools, because you like gardening. You can't stand travelling, but the house could be renovated, too.
The mother Here's the chance to travel round the world with the whole family! And, perhaps, to buy some new clothes, too. You are not against gardening. The old family car is in perfect condition - why waste money on a new one?
The 19-year-old daughter If you built an addition to the house, you could have a separate part of it for yourself, and perhaps for your boyfriend, too.
The 17-year-old son You've been wanting a drum equipment for years. You also like travelling, and would like to get your hands on the old family car, too. Unfortunately, you hate gardening - your father always makes you help him.
The 14-year-old daughter Clothes, clothes, clothes! And if you had an addition to the house, you could have your own room at last.
The father's brother Clearly, they should buy a new printer for their computer - then you too could print your things on it. They surely must not build anything - they will have no money left for the printer.
The neighbour You like borrowing your neighbour's garden tools - but you hate noise.
