Find out about their interests. Then choose a topic. Brainstorm vocabulary related to that topic and leave that on the board. Initiate the conversation. At first, they will only say 1 or maybe 2 sentences about the topic, but with some examples of sentences and words and mostly practice, they'll improve.

You can also ask them to describe a picture.
