Type: board gameLanguage: talking about yourself Objective: to practise speaking
Use this fun game as a way of getting to know your students and finding out more about their speaking level. You could play with them too and answer the questions.
INSTRUCTIONS Play the game in small groups. Players will need dice and counters.

Players take turns and move their counters on the board according to the number they get on the dice.
If they land on a square, they have to talk about the subject on the square for 20 seconds. The teacher or other players decide if they’ve done it correctly or not. Players can invent information. When the player has finished talking, the teacher could also ask questions about what the player has just said to check that other students were listening carefully!

The game continues until the first player reaches the square marked “End”.
Players must throw the exact number to land on “End” in order to finish. If the number they throw is too big, they miss a turn.

Type: snapLanguage: prepositions of timeObjective: to practise using prepositions of time
SNAP Divide the students into pairs. You need a set of cards for each pair.
Students shuffle all their cards together and put the stack face down on the table.
For each turn, both students turn over the top card on their stack and place it face up on the table.
If there are two cards (or more) that take the same preposition or neither of them take any preposition, they shout “snap”. The first student to do this wins the cards. However, the person who wins the cards also has to make a sentence with the preposition or expression. For example:
Student A turns over a card with 1983, and Student B turns over a card with 2005. Student A says “snap” because the preposition “in” can be used with both dates. Student A then has to say a sentence with his/her card.
The player with the most cards at the end of the game is the winner.
If a player shouts “snap” and it isn’t correct, the other player wins the cards.
Remind pupils of this general rule: At = with clock times In = with months and years Ago = with lengths of time like numbers of hours No preposition = with expressions starting with
“last” or “this”
“Prepositions of time” snap

Type: story-telling gameLanguage: the Past ContinuousObjective: to practise speaking
INSTRUCTIONS Cut up the cards and put them into two piles (in random order).
Students take two cards at random. Using these two cards, students must try to make a sentence including those words or expressions, as well as using the Past Continuous and Past Simple. For example, if they pick the words “monkey” and “book”, they could say: “While I was watching a documentary about monkeys, there was an advert for a book on the topic, which I ordered by telephone.”
The teacher or other students give a score of 1 to 10 for each sentence based on accuracy and creativity.
The student with the most points wins. In order to revise the use of the Past Continuous with the Past Simple, write these sentences on the board. Ask students to identify the Past Continuous and Past Simple, and to identify any time expressions used:
The phone rang when I was having a bath. While I was having a bath, the phone rang. The phone rang as I was having a bath. As I was having a bath, the phone rang. Etc.
