Getting students to talk
|
Hello, fellow teachers. Could you please help me with something? I �m teaching conversational English, so I have to get them to talk a lot. However, I do not want to just tell them to prepare dialogues and presentations everyday, since that gets boring for my students. I �m planning on taking puppets one of these days so that they can make puppet shows, and the other day I had them play hot potato, and the person who got the "potato" had to speak. But I �m running out of ideas. Could you please give me some? I would very much appreciate it!!! |

Thanks! Well, let me check it out to see if they work. Of course, I would also like some ideas that don �t require printing out worksheets (I don �t mind downloading, but I �m on a low budget). If anybody has anything else, I would also appreciate it. Thank you very much, ascincoquinas. :-D |

- writing words and phrases on a soccer ball or a beach ball and getting kids to roll it or pass it to one another and talking about the topics on the ball
