Default Re: The "Talking wall".

Hi I've done something similar with my class but with a little twist. First you arrange the desks in your class in pairs. In each pair of desks you should have one in front of the other.
Then, you explain to your students how to play musical chairs ( ss.walk around while music is being played, once it's stopped they should find a seat).
I use an OHT to have topics written and numbered from 1 trhough 5 or 7. you could also do this on the board. The number of topics would depend on the number of students you have inclass.
Then I tell my students they will have to dance or walk around to the rythim of the music and when it stops they must find a seat. At this point the teacher (me) throws a dice, the number I get is the number of the topic they should discuss for a minute or two (you decide)
As soon as time is up play the music again and have them walking around once more.
It's lots of fun and my adults seem to enjoy it the most.
