Tell students they can have each person sign their handout only once (or twice, depending on class size), to encourage interaction with multiple classmates. The first student to complete a full row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) wins, or students can work toward completing the entire handout.
After a winner is announced, bring the class together to debrief. Invite students to share interesting things they discovered about their classmates, highlighting connections or surprising facts.
Teaching Tips
For students needing additional support: Provide handouts with fewer boxes (such as a 3 ✕ 3 grid) or include visual aids next to each prompt. Pair students with a buddy if they feel uncomfortable approaching peers independently.
For advanced learners: Challenge students to create their own Find Someone Who handout with prompts that relate to a specific topic or theme, or require them to complete the entire handout rather than just one row.
For multilingual learners: Include visual supports alongside text prompts when possible. Allow students to conduct interviews in their home languages if they share the same language with peers. Provide sentence frames such as “Do you…?” or “Have you…?” to support question formation.
Note: Provide accommodations and modifications based on your learners’ needs to ensure full participation.
