ICQs are instruction checking questions. After you explain or demonstrate an activity I like to ask questions so, for example, they should be yes or no questions. For example, "how long do you have for the activity?" Two minutes. "How many people are in your group?" Four people. "Do you need to write your answer or say your answer to your partner?" Oh I have to write my answer. Anything related to that. You could also do concept-checking questions. If you teach a concept, like the simple past for example. These are simple yes-no questions related to the content that you teach and not the instructions, so use both of these liberally in your classes.
