This is a fun and interactive roleplay game to practice workplace safety English. Students take turns playing the Boss, who is the safety officer, and the Clueless Worker, who breaks rules and makes excuses. The Boss must give clear safety instructions using phrases such as “You must…” or “It’s dangerous because…,” while the Worker acts out unsafe behavior with a funny character twist, for example being hungover, lazy, joking, or too cool to care. The game works by sending the Boss outside, giving the Worker a secret role, and letting the class help the Worker prepare excuses. When the Boss returns, they receive a safety task and must convince the Worker to follow the rules. The roleplay lasts three minutes, and afterwards the class votes and gives feedback.

The resource includes twenty scenarios that can be used throughout the year as well as a helpful phrases slide. It is designed to practice modal verbs, imperatives, cause and effect, and persuasive language in a memorable and engaging way. This activity works best with teens, vocational students, or adults at A2–B1 level who are learning speaking, roleplay, communication, and workplace vocabulary.
