If you have access to a video camera you can have a lot of fun with them preparing an advert for their city, aimed at tourists. They prepare the script for the film, bring in some images \ objects to use and obviously get into character themselves. One group of mine did it with an interviewer 'walking the streets' and asking people what they loved about the city. Another group did it as short monologues from each member of the group, each in a different situation (one at the beach, one in the historical centre, one in the port etc etc) basically give them some ideas but let them decide for themselves what they want to do.

I've done it a few times and they usually end up as humorous pieces - they loved playing up to the camera. It's great for language of suggestion and advice, imperatives and conditionals.

Hope that helps.
