In this speaking game, you will only have up to 10 to talk in front of the class per round. I usually use this activity when teaching positive/negative question or sentence but I think you can adapt this one to your lesson.
To do this speaking activity, you need to prepare cards that have conversation starter sentence or question, such as “What did you do last weekend?” or “Do you like watching cartoons?” and so on.
- To start the game, give 1 different card to 5 students and let them go in front.
- Tell the rest of the class to close their eyes or put their heads down.
- The 5 students you chose will quietly put their card on other students’ desks and then come back to the front.
- Tell the class to open their eyes.
- One by one, ask the student who has a card on their desk to stand in front of the student who they think has given them the card and read the prompt written on it aloud.
- (You can change this last part according to your prompts) If the card does not match the person who gave it, that person will give a negative response to the question or statement and the other student will go back to his/her desk.
- If the card matches that person, the person will say a positive response and the two people will switch places.
