You could probably play charades. If you don �t know this game, Charades or charade is a word guessing game. one player acts out a movie title often by pantomiming similar-sounding words, and the other players guess the word or phrase. The idea is to use physical rather than verbal language to convey meaning. (I borrowed the definition from wikipedia lol). You can write different movie titles on cards, have students work on teams, and establish some basic gestures for each genre (before they guess the name of the movie, team mates will have to know which genre it belongs to - for instance, the "actor" can smile if the movie is a comedy, "cry" if it �s a drama, pretend he/she is screaming if it �s a horror flick, and so on). |

These are activities I usually use. Put on the blackboard sheets of papers containing descriptions of some films (in particular their beginnings) and give your ss the sheets with their ends (ss can work in pairs, groups or individually). Each student (or group) should guess what film is described, go to the blackboard and match the beginning and the end. Or you can arrange a mini party for the class. Its speciality is that participants can choose their personality (an actor or actress, a film character). The ss are given about five minutes to write their role cards. If necessary, the teacher prepares them for the party phase: asks them about ways to approach somebody, to introduce oneself, to start a conversation, etc., and puts some useful phrases on the blackboard. The party begins: ss walk around and talk to others, with the aim of discovering each other �s personalities.Good luck! |

Well, you can have a running dictation. You have two or three groups and on the blackboard you stick a text, some words,... In turn, students go to the blackboard and memorise a part of the text. Then, he runs back to where his team mates are sitting and dictates what he can remember. The next one memorises the next part and so on. The first team to get all the text and without spelling mistakes is the winner.
