Activity 4
Speaking: Speaking cards
Objective:
In this enjoyable group activity, students practice giving
advice to each other. The class is divided into groups of four
and each group is given a set of cards. Students take it in
turns to pick up a card and read out the situation to the
group. Then the student asks the question on the card. The
other group members then each give a different piece of
advice using the target language (I (dont) think you
should... / You should(n't)...). The student gives the card to

whoever he/she thinks has given the best advice. Then the
next student picks up a card and the process is repeated.
The person with the most cards at the end of the game
wins. Finally, the class gives feedback on the best advice
for each situation. See appendix 5
