    CONVERSATION

    CARDS
    Give a card to pairs of students, they practice.

    Cue students into giving some useful vocabulary to


    use.

    Set a ‘word of the day’ for each of the conversations


    that students should try to use, consider using a
    word that is uncommon and easy to use.

    Ss should never stop talking, Ss only stop once the


    Tr asks them to.

    Conversation Club
    PARLOUR
    GAMES
    Use as energizers or warm-ups, they help a lot
    setting the mood for talking and having a good time.

    Parlour games should take at most 10 mins, they’re


    used just to set the mood.

    Conversation Club
    Marker game
    Set a marker on the floor, on the count of 3 Ss try to
    grab it, Ss without a marker are losers and must
    answer a question asked by Tr.

    This is useful the first time they meet, Tr can ask


    questions to have students introduce each other

    Chinese whispering
    Ss just pass a message to the front. Message
    should be hard. E.g.:

    -My favorite thing to do on a rainy afternoon is watch Lord of


    the Rings and party like a hobbit

    -Have you ever noticed that it only ever seems to rain when
    you have to go somewhere?

    -The only thing better than a tall, dark, and handsome man, is
    one carrying a pizza box.
    Would I lie to you?
    Ss mention a thing about themselves, maybe
    something true or something false, classmates
    listen and question the person telling the story to try
    to guess if they are lying or not. Tr should give an
    example.

    Press conference
    Sit a student in front of the board and behind him
    write a personally. The rest of the Ss are journalists
    asking questions to this personality. They know who
    the interviewed is. Questions have clues in them for
    the students in the chair to guess who they are.

    Use characters from movies or actors or famous


    people students might know.
    Movie charades
    Ss give 3 clues to their classmates about a movie,
    they cannot talk, so they must act those clues out

    Quite interesting
    Tr should be prepared for this
    Tr has an interesting fact at hand and mentions it to
    Ss, Ss discuss about it.
