Default Re: Conversation activities that don't need resources

This worked for my past tense classes with my 12-14 year olds, and it's fairly simple (although I used powerpoint it's fairly easy to de-technologise it- if that's a word!)

I wrote some past tense questions on a PPT slide and would reveal each question and throw a paper ball, kept together with sticky tape, at a student. The student who (eventually- after the students throwing the ball amongst themselves!) received the ball would answer the question.

I also split the class into two teams so that each team would receive the ball in turn. It's a wonder what a simple prop can do for enthusiasm!
