Featured: Level Two General Conversation GamePosted by admin in ESL, Classroom Games |
|
When I taught it, Level 2 was a non-credit course that was intended to provide students with a sound basis in English conversational skills. The course involved individual, paired and group work with the main emphasis being on speaking, but also included some listening, reading, and writing work. Classroom activities used group work to encourage student interaction and were designed to build fluency and conversational skills.
This was one of those activities, which blended some of the goals of Level Two, which can be found here.
You will need to photocopy the game board here. In each of the boxes leading up to the "finish"is a topic/opinon/question. For game pieces I usually use money, and you will need a die to determine how many spaces to move. I usually encourage 3 sentences per topic/question.
Example questions/topics (for you to change/adapt) are: Who is your favorite person, What are you scared of, What makes you angry/happy, What is your greatest accomplishment, Tell me about your best friend/family, What would you do if you were prime minister. Also include "free" spaces-they are usually very excited to not have a speaking turn.
