Favourite places

In pairs , describe these places to each other:

Your favourite room, your ideal house, your home town, your favourite place for holidays.

Shopping

Tell a partner about the last time you went to these places. Where was it? What did you buy? What else did you do there?

street market, flea market, supermarket, boutique.

Imagine you have got 100 Pounds to spend on shopping , and just fifteen minutes to spend it . Where would you go and what would you buy?

Definitions

Work in small groups . Write suitable endings for these definitions:

Love is...
A friend is...
Time is...
Art is....
Happiness is...
Life is...
Music is....
Being young is...

Now , read just your endings and see if the class can guess what they define.

Crime mystery

Here is an exercise to practise crime vocabulary :)

Onomatopoeia

In pairs, listen to these descriptions. Talk about how you write the sounds in your language and in English, e.g. sound a bee makes- buzz

the noise you hear when you stick a needle into a balloon( pop)
the noise a car horn makes ( beep)
the noise of a saucepan falling on the floor (clang)
the sound of frying meat( sizzle)
what a snake does( hiss)
what a cat does when is happy ( purr)

Now, you need to guess what makes each sound:

tinkle, squeak, growl, hum, rustle, crunch, thud, squelch, meow.

Narration about past events.

This is a very good exercise to practise speaking and using past tenses. Also because it is partly a guessing game it is attractive for students.

My fridge

Work in pairs . Ask each other questions about contents of your fridge. e.g.: How much milk have you got? How many eggs are there in your fridge? ( wine, water, butter, fish, ham, lemons, cheese, cream, etc.)

Story cubes :)

Do you want your students to become  great story tellers? It is easy, you just need to encourage  the students who don't want to speak to play with story cubes. Students just simply need to roll the cubes and let the pictures - clues, spark their imagination. There are different topics of the story cubes sets to choose from, so you can easily find something which matches  your topic of the lesson.

Work,work,work!

 This is short exercise to revise work related vocabulary. Work in groups with one set of cards laid face down on the desk.

One student lifts up the card and asks the other students who discuss the answer together. The next student repeats the process with the next card.
