role play ideas
 
Dear fellow teachers!
 
I recently got married and now I�d like to do class on marriage. So far role-playing has proven to be the best method to get maximum student participation in my spoken English class. But I so far I haven�t had any luck in finding good lesson-plans on marriage or ideas for role playing (in general) on the net.
 
So basically what I�m asking is, if you guys know any good web-sites for role playing activities and if you have any good ideas for a lesson on marriage.
 
Thank you people!

What ages do you teach?  I have heard of children having a "friendship wedding" where they act out a ceremony and promise to be friends forever.  Maybe this is something you could look for.  You can also talk about the ways that wedding vows have changed over the years.  For example, many women do not like some vows where they must promise to "obey" their husbands.  Some vows mention God, some do not.  What if the children wrote there own vows and read them for the class?  They could talk about love and why people get married....
 
Good luck with this topic.
