 Re: Ideas for conversation classes
Hi. I've been tutoring a woman one-on-one for a while now, and had the same problem- running out of interesting ideas! But my mom came up with one that's been really enjoyable for me and my student! It would also work with a large group.
Basically all it is is telling a story, but each person contributes. For example, if I start, I could say, "Once upon a time, there was a girl named Sarah..." Then, the next person will add something to that. You keep going around the room, and every person adds to the story. Sometimes it gets so ridiculous, and everyone has a good time! This is a great way for students to come out of their shells and be comfortable speaking English, even in a humourous, sarcastic way! |
