Well, first of all you have to build up a vocabulary so they have words to work with.
I usually work with themes, for ex.
The House
The Family
My School
Food
Pets
Things we do
Clothes we wear etc.
My students also have a little booklet they write all the words up in.
Later you can pair them off, two and two.
Give each pair a picture of a school yard with kids playing,
or a family eating together.
Tell each pair to talk to each other for 10-15 minutes by asking each other
"What do you see in the picture?"
How many boys?
What are they doing?
Make up a story about the people or things in the story.
Anything you can think of.
It�s often easier to get kids to speak when the whole class isn�t listening.
They also speak much more English when they are in pairs.
Later you can ask each group what they would like to tell about from their conversation.
Hope this helps.
