How it works

Classroom Tips:

1. Group Story Telling

How It Works: 1. Break the class up into small groups of 2-4 people. 2. Roll the dice and take turns going around the group to create and write their own unique story based on the pictures. Options for Game Play: - Roll all the dice at once and create the story you want. - Give one or two dice to each group and have them roll the dice every couple sentences. - Have each student in a group choose a dice and roll it for their part. - Your creation as the teacher

3. Follow-up Questions in Conversation

This lesson idea will bring incredible value to your 1-on-1 lessons with teens or adults.  ​If you don't have picture dice, I recommend you take a trip to a local trinket shop and invest around 10€ in a pack of picture dice like these. They will serve you very well for many years to come, especially if you teach 1-on-1 teen or adult lessons.

Sometimes it can be challenging getting the students to speak in English class. Sometimes it's because they're shy, and sometimes it's because they just don't want to be there. This EFL speaking activity will get students participating with a partner and is a great lesson for teens and adults.
