 Activity for teaching modal auxiliary verbs, mingling. Another standard ESL classroom activity that generates very natural use of the target language. Create a questionnaire which students use to ask each other questions and to record their answers. This lends itself well to any combination of modal, and usage with a little creative thought. For example, can, could or may for requests, can be turned into a fun activity whereby students must respond to the requests in the negative, giving different polite reasons. Create your questionnaire so that students can record the names of the people they've spoken to and the reasons given. They choose the best responses to tell the class at the end of the activity. For example, may I borrow your pen? Responses could be as simple as no sorry you can't, because it's run out of ink, to no sorry you can't, as you press too hard and might damage it.
