Short Dialogues around Daily Routines

The Wheel of Questions is perfect for building short, playful dialogues around daily routines. Here’s how you can use it step by step with kids:

Step‑by‑Step Method

1. Choose a verb from the wheel

   
   

   Example: eat, go, play, sleep.

2. Spin the wheel to form a question

   
   

   Example: Do you eat breakfast?

3. Encourage a simple answer

   
   

   Example: Yes, I eat cereal.

4. Add a follow‑up question (spin again or teacher prompts)

   
   

   Example: What do you eat? → I eat toast.

5. Build a mini‑dialogue with 2–3 exchanges.

Morning routine

• A: Do you wake up at 7?

• B: Yes, I wake up at 7.

• A: What do you do after?

• B: I brush my teeth.

School routine

• A: Do you go to school by bus?

• B: Yes, I go by bus.

• A: Who do you go with?

• B: I go with my friend.

Evening routine

• A: Do you play after school?

• B: Yes, I play soccer.

• A: When do you play?

• B: I play at 5 o’clock.

Why it works

• The wheel provides structure (question word, auxiliary, subject, verb).

• Kids get repetition without boredom — each spin changes the question.

• Dialogues stay short and achievable, perfect for ESL learners.

• It connects grammar practice to real life routines, making English meaningful.

“We believe that understanding the logic of a question is the key to understanding a language. The Wheel of Questions makes this logic visible, tangible, and playful.”
