Default Re: Conversation activities that don't need resources

One game my students really like to play is sooo easy. It's a great memory game and teaches them to describe things. I have someone volunteer to come up to the front of the class. I tell the students they have 30 seconds to closely observe the student standing before the class. After the 30 seconds are up the student leaves the room and is out of sight of the class. At that time I ask the students to describe everything they remembered about the student, what was he wearing, what kind of shoes, colors of clothing etc., was he holding anything in is hands, any thing such a cell phone if so what hand or if it was in a pocket which one, etc. (was he holding it, pen the most minute details they have to remember. Again, it's great for memory, giving descriptions and make them aware of things they don't normally notice. It doesn't require any preparation and the students enjoy it a lot.
