Character Cards for writing and role play speaking exercises

This activity is for practicing speaking. You can assign a sketch or  the situation and they can improvise and create their own. There are two sketches: one is called the fly soup and the other is about thanksgiving day. They are good for drama and very short. I hope you can find it useful!!! 


Role plays 

I created this worksheet for role play activities: the tags are to be cut out and folded, and put into a bowl. The student picks one and that is the role play that has to be carried out.

Funny role-playing activity. This activity practices your student’s speaking and vocabulary skills, maybe also writing skills if you want to make them write first.

Role-play: Person, Place, Problem

3 Pages of conversation ideas about everyday annoyances.What really gets your goat? (Gets you really annoyed?) It's a good idea to think about and speak about what annoys you, because then you recognize that a problem exists. From there you can try to find a solution to the situation- and if that's not possible- then change your attitude from annoyance to acceptance. Not easy but doable. The 4th page has blank cards for the student to come up with his/her own ideas and then have paired conversations.

Role Play : What Drives You Mad? Everyday Annoyances

This is a role play game in which students have to discuss who should be the new captain of a tiny lifeboat. You can play it in three rounds: 1) Individual students get a card, read it out and try to convince the others why they should be chosen; 2) personal decision of each student, 3) group discussion. My students liked it a lot and were very imaginative in justifying their leadership. And, for a change, no one must leave the ship...
