- Tag Team Role Play
The classic role play is one of the best activities for your conversation students. For a twist, have 2 students work as team in 1 conversation. If S1 gets stuck for ideas or just doesn’t know what to say, he tags S2 in to take over the dialogue.
- Role Play Change Up
2 students start a role play. After they have been talking for a few minutes, freeze the conversation, and have new students take their places. They should jump in as if they were one of the original players. Change players several times.
- Problem Solved
Divide your class into 2 groups, have each group choose I designated speaker for a role play. Present a problem & challenge the speakers to come to a mutual agreement. Make sure each team has a slightly different ideal outcome for the role play. Speakers can consult with their groups throughout the role play.
- Dialogue about what they
Give students time to think about what they want to before they go in front of the class to say it. Pairs of students write a dialogue and then perform it for the class.
