							| Speaking games for adult students 
 |  
							| I need some ideas on games or activities (speaking) to do with my adult students. They have an intermediate level of English but i�ve run out of ideas to use with them. Any suggestions? |  9 Oct 2012

							| Have you already used up all those suggestion? or maybe you just lost track of them...? It all depends on the topic you �re studying right now and grammar points/structures you would want them to polish up a bit, so the activities must be relevant. It �s hard for us to know what ideas you have already used up. Your request is really too vague. Maybe you could be more specific as to what you would like to achieve in your class. Otherwise you could google "party games" and apply/adapt them to your situation. Here are some more games  from eslp, btw I specified "intermediate" when searching.Sophia |  9 Oct 2012

							| Thanks a lot to all of you for your suggestions. Silvia: I had already used several times the picture based discusions and some of Philip�s Let�s worksheets.  Uslteacher, thanks. I did not remember  that post, but the answer is the same. I have already used many of those suggestions. Anyway, thanks a lot. |  10 Oct 2012

							| I �ve seen this work well in a small group.   What is it? The teacher has a bag  with several small items in it -a shell, a marble, a key, a keyring, a coin, a seedpod etc. Items made of different things.   Each student takes a turn to reach into the bag and choose one thing. They must not look at the item, or take it out of the bag, but by feel they must describe the shape, texture,what it is made of, say what it is etc. The student may then look at their item to see if they were right. The item is returned to the bag, and then the next student has a turn.          |  10 Oct 2012
