Activities for practicing "Who...?"
 
There are a lot of "Who am I?" or "Guess who?" type activities to choose from but they don't actually teach students how to you "who." Although, it should be quite simple to use, I'd still like to put an activity together for students to practice.

Guess who type games practice asking questions other than 'who' questions, like, "Are you famous?" or "Are you a boy?"

This is for beginner students so relative clause questions will be too tough like, "Who is that boy playing soccer over there?"

Well, I'm stuck. Can anyone think of some fun (or not so fun) game/activities to practice using 'Who'?

Thanks!

Do something with an easy reading. If they cannot read, read something with pictures to them. As you read ask questions about the pictures and about what you have said.

You don't say what age they are. If they're adults give them five questions from a "who" quiz then get them (in pairs) to write five more to ask the rest of the class: Who's the President of the United States? Who's the wife of Michael Douglas? Who's the Minister for Defence (in their own country) ? It's easier to think of questions if they also know was/were - Who was the first President of the US? Who was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic? Who was the first man on the moon? Who was the star of The Bourne Ultimatum ? etc etc
