2. Divide the class into two groups, A and B, and ask the students to work with a partner from the same group.
3. Give a copy of 'Family A and Family B' to each student in the class. Give a copy of 'Who's who? A?' to each student in group A and a copy of 'Who's who? B' to each student in group B.
4. Ask the students to read the information on their 'Who's who?' and fill in the names on the corresponding family tree.

Ask the students to take it in turns to describe the relationships between the people on their completed family tree (without showing their completed version to their partner) so that their partner can fill in the blank one on their worksheet.
