Lesson Plan: Speaking Game

Objective

Students will enhance their spoken English skills through interactive and engaging speaking games. The aim is to improve fluency, vocabulary, and confidence in speaking English.

Duration

30 Minutes

Materials Needed

• A set of cards with words/phrases (pre-prepared)
• Timer
• Whiteboard and markers
• Paper and pens for students

Lesson Outline

Introduction (5 minutes)

1. Warm-Up Activity:
   • Begin with a quick icebreaker where students say their name and share one fun fact about themselves in English.
   • This promotes a relaxed atmosphere and encourages participation.

Game 1: Speed Describing (10 minutes)

1. Setup:

   • Divide the class into small groups of 3-4 students.
   • Each group receives a set of cards with words/phrases (e.g., "beach," "computer," "travelling," etc.).

2. Instructions:

   • One student picks a card without showing it to their team.
   • They must describe the word/phrase using other English words without saying it or using direct translations.
   • Set the timer for 1 minute per round.
   • After the time is up, the group guesses the word. Rotate roles within the groups.

3. Objective:

   • To practice descriptive language and quick thinking in English.

Game 2: One-Minute Talks (10 minutes)

1. Setup:

   • Each student chooses a topic from a list (e.g., favorite movie, dream vacation, a hobby).
   • Ensure students have a few moments to jot down quick notes if they need.

2. Instructions:

   • Students take turns speaking for one minute on their chosen topic.
   • The rest of the class can ask one follow-up question after each talk.

3. Objective:

   • This activity aims to strengthen fluency and the ability to think on their feet.

Conclusion and Feedback (5 minutes)

1. Recap the Games:

   • Facilitate a brief discussion on what students learned during the games.
   • Ask questions like, "What new vocabulary did you use?" or "How did you feel about speaking in front of the class?"

2. Collect Feedback:

   • Encourage students to share their thoughts on the activities and suggest improvements for future lessons.

3. Homework Assignment (optional):

   • Ask students to write a short paragraph about their experiences in the games and any new vocabulary they learned.

Assessment

• Participation in activities and the ability to communicate ideas effectively will serve as informal assessments.
• Notes from the homework can provide insight into individual progress and engagement levels.
