What time / you get up? and eliciting that Ss need to add do or does. Ask a student the question and then ask follow-up questions to get as much information as possible. In their groups, a S takes a card and asks the other two Ss the question. Then other two Ss do the same. Encourage Ss to ask for and give as much information as possible. Monitor and help where necessary, particularly with question formation. Take notes of any errors. When Ss have finished, get feedback from the class on some of their answers. If time - do some delayed error correction on w/b from errors noted.
