Playing and Describe People/Object/Place work as ice-breaking activities,
participation in which enables the students to overcome their inhibitions while
speaking; invigorate their presence of mind; enhance their critical focus; boost their
confidence level; develop their team spirit, leadership quality and problem solving
ability; hone their presentation skill and assist them to have effective communication
