None of us/ One of us/ Some of us/All of us for "going to-" future

(TESOL Worksheets--going to future, Any Grammar Point)
Google: docs, pub
The specific example linked to above ("What are your plans for tonight?") is for the "going to" future, but the general activity can be used for any grammar point.

Students are put in groups, ideally of 4 or 5.  They think of sentences using the target language that are true for them.  They then compare sentences with their group, and try to find at least one sentence that is true for only one person in the group, one sentence that is true for some people in the group, one sentence that is true for all the people in the group, and one sentence that is true for none of the people in the group.
It should be possible to adapt this to any grammar point. e.g going to (What are you going to do tonight?), past simple (What did you do yesterday?), present perfect (What unique experiences have you had?), second conditional (What would you do if you had a million dollars?) etc.
Note: Some variation is possible with the categories according to personal preference.  Some teachers omit “none of us”.  Other teachers add categories like “two of us”, “three of us”, etc.

What are your plans for tonight?  Talk to your group and fill in the chart:



None of us


One of us


Some of us


All of us
