Seems to me that you have to teach something about the difference between when to use "how to use" and when to use " how to bake, make, etc.". That is often the difficulty. That would be a question for the Applied Linguistics thread.
I guess you know about the questionairre - you make a list of questions as you suggested on the board and then the students write them down or you type and copy them. They move around the classroom interviewing one student, one question at a time and put that student's initials beside what they do do. You can make it as competitive as you like with prizes if you want or just for fun and talking.
I have a small bag of really unusual objects and most people don't know what they do but are interested in finding out. Whenever I find something small and light I just pop it in that bag after finding out what it does do. It provokes a lot of discussion. How do you use this? I sometimes put in a slip of paper with words or phrases that give them difficulty too.
