Lesson plan idea

I am working on a lesson plan for my elementary level students who are ages 14 to 18. I am trying to introduce the grammatical structure has got/have got on the theme of families and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to use pictures of famous people's families and then encourage the students to describe them using the target language. For example, has Obama got any daughters? or Beckham has got two brothers, etc. is this a good way for them to learn and understand the structure and meaning i am trying to teach them? Or would it be inappropriate and not suitable? Thanks in advance.

, they have. I could answer the Obama question but I have no idea about Beckham. —anyone that your students are sure to know about.

I think that is a fine idea—but be sure the students are familiar enough with the personalities to know how many siblings, children, etc., they have. I could answer the Obama question but I have no idea about Beckham. You can also use well-known cartoon characters, folk tale characters, etc.—anyone that your students are sure to know about.

Thanks for the help. This is my first time teaching this age group (14 to 18) and I'm not sure what celebrities/cartoon characters the students will be familiar with. Could you give me a few ideas which ones they will know for sure or which ones would be unsuitable or inappropriate? Thank you so much for answering my post. I really need the help.
