You can ask students one by one or organize them in pairs. They may practice either
both countries and nationalities or one thing only. Talking to one another they may use
such a construction:
Student A: “Where does this come from?”
Student B: “It comes from + country. It’s + nationality.”
using proper pronouns with people or things or any other construction you prefer.
Have a good luck drilling!
