Jazz up Your Lesson

Students’ interaction during the lesson is a valuable time of their learning – they get a perfect chance to use their skills of listening and speaking in real life situations as well as get used to other people’s manners of talking.
So here you can find a great game to help your students get together, talk and learn more about each other. There are no age limits in this game.

Game  1:
“Statistics  game”

Material needed:
– cards with questions;
– pens.

How to play:
First, make cards with three questions in each of them. Then let the students take one card each and read the questions inside. After everybody gets a card, let them go round the class and ask each other about the issues indicated on their card. Remind the students to collect the answers carefully as later they would be asked to give a short statistic report.

Here are the cards:
