Happy New Year!

New Year discussion

Here we have a fun speaking activity to start off a New Year.

Time: 30-45 minutes

Preparation: Copy and cut out the questions on worksheet 1 (make one copy for every four students in the class). Put each collection of questions in an envelope.

Note: if you are allergic to cutting things up, then just make a copy of the questions, which are all on one sheet of paper.

Stage One: Divide the class into groups of four. Give each group an envelope with the questions inside. Explain the rules. Each student takes turns taking out a question from the envelope and asks it to another person in the group. Then it is the next student’s turn.

Stage Two: While students are doing the activity, monitor and help where needed. Make notes of language that students requested to do the task, and any mistakes that you hear.

Stage Three: Bring all the students back to a whole class formation and do some feedback. What did they find out about each other? If you have time, correct and review new language that came up in the activity.

We have two more speaking New Year activities prepared. Macmillan Advantage users have access to the full resource.
