Fruit Vocabulary Survey Activities

File Downloads For All Survey Types

Authentic Surveys

These materials can be used for collecting information from real people (classmates, parents, or others) or collecting information from classmates pretending to be the people depicted on the provided Character Preference Cards, including that character’s personal preferences as shown on the card.

The key difference between the authentic survey forms and the survey forms for other survey activity types, is that the names of the people being surveyed are not already filled in, so the survey-takers will need to collect the names of the people they survey and write them into the provided spaces on their survey forms.

Primary Required Files

The following files are necessary for students to be able to practice this Survey-Taking activity version.

Authentic Survey Forms

Each survey form features rows for survey entries, with lined writing spaces in the left column to write surveyee’s names.
Unlike many of the other survey forms on this page, for Authentic Survey Forms, all 16 fruit vocabulary words are included on a single-sided survey form.
Simply print one for each student and bring them to class. No cutting or laminating required.

Additional Files

The following Character Preference Cards printables are available if an instructors wishes to have surveyees pretend to be the characters on the cards, rather than answering the survey questions based on their own personal preferences. This will generally result in a wider variety in the survey answers.

Character Preference Cards

There are 18 cards available. However, if there are more than 18 cards needed, more than one participants can have an identical copy of the same card. If this is done, however, surveyees should use their own names (or other fictional names, chosen for them by an instructor), instead of the names on the cards, to avoid 100% identical entries on the survey forms.
These cards are the exact same cards used by the Fruit Preferences Deduction Challenge. Preparing them for this activity will mean that they are also ready for use with the Deduction Challenge activity (which practices the same vocabulary words) with limited additional materials prep-work required.
Laminating the cards is recommended, as it will give the cards long-term durability, even if used frequently.

Card-Back Patterns

Printing a unique pattern on the back of each set of the Character Preference Cards available above makes sorting easier and also provides a clean professional look.
Print a pattern on the back of a set of cards BEFORE cutting out the individual cards.
The difference between the standard versions and the secret card versions is purely cosmetic. For schools with a large collection of Playguistics cards, it simply allows the option to differentiate specifics sets as being for different purposes for more convenient organization.

Character Cards Based Surveys

These materials make it easier to ensure that learners practicing survey-taking will get a wide range of responses from the classmates they interview, as well as providing phonics decoding/encoding practice. Each person being surveyed will pretend to be the character depicted on a Character Preference Card and use that character’s name and communicate that character’s personal preferences.

However, unlike the Authentic Surveys version, the provided Survey-Taking Sheets already have a selection of the activity’s 18 characters listed on them, so participants will have to seek out specific people (who are playing the role of those characters).

Primary Required Files

The following files are needed for students to be able to complete the Character Cards Based Survey activity.

Character Preference Cards

One Character Preference Card will be needed for each learner participating as a surveyee.
If there aren’t enough students to give out all of the 18 available Character Preference Cards to individual students, multiple cards can be given to individual students, who can talk about those character’s preferences, instead of pretending to be the characters themselves.
These cards are the exact same cards used by the Fruit Preferences Deduction Challenge. Preparing them for this activity will mean that they are also ready for use with the Deduction Challenge activity (which practices the same vocabulary words) with limited additional materials prep-work required.
For the best long-lasting durability, print, cut, and then laminate each individual card. This should allow for years of regular use, even by younger learners.

Info Table Based Surveys

These materials are ideal for Survey-Taking practice with younger, less confident learners. Instead of having learners interview a variety of people, with these materials, the students in a classroom can take turns using verbal communication in English to collecting information from a teacher (or other student) based on the Survey Info Table.

With this format, the students will benefit not only from the speaking/listening practice, but also from hearing others utilize/demonstrate the required Sentence Patterns and Core Vocabulary Words.

Information Trading Surveys

These materials can be used to practice asking and answering questions about different people’s personal preferences. Since each participant’s Information Trading Survey Sheet has a different mix of the activity’s collective personal preference data (about 18 characters) all of the participants will need to both ask and answer questions in order to complete their own Survey Sheet and help others complete theirs.

Primary Required Files

The following files are necessary for students to be able to practice this Survey activity version.

Information Trading Survey Forms

Choose a set of Survey Forms based on group size and vocabulary word list.
There are 2 set of each type of Information Trading Survey Forms, each with half of the 16 fruit vocabulary words included in our collection of fruit vocabulary Survey-Taking activities. Sets are labeled either Survey I or Survey II, depending on the vocabulary word list included.
Always use all of Survey Forms labeled with a letter. This will ensure that at least one activity participant will have each item of survey information. The + Survey Forms are extras that can be used once all of the letter-labeled Survey Forms have already been distributed to activity participants.
Although these Survey Forms can be printed out and used once, if laminated, they can be written on with whiteboard markers. After completing the activity, the writing can be erased and the Survey Forms can be reused with other students later again and again.
