Default Re: Conversation activities that don't need resources

Maybe not so much for big classes, but so long as you have something to throw - ideally a soft ball, the what's this / that game is a favorite of mine:

You start, by pointing to something in the classroom and saying 'what's this (or that)'

If a students knows, they raise their hand and answer, after which, all the class must repeat 'it's a ____' after that, you throw them the ball.

Now they ask the question, and so it continues.

Note: encourage students to choose objects that they don't know so that they can learn the answer - either from you, or others in the class - a simple and natural way for children to learn about the objects around them.
