Last year, I wrote about a fun game for English Language Learners that I learned from late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon (see Jimmy Fallon Comes Up With A Great Game For English Language Learners).

Today, I learned another one...

He calls it Word Sneak, and it's a simple one - two people are given five words that they have to fit into a conversation.

Obviously, it's very funny the way he uses it in this video clip, but it can also be used a nice interactive exercise for students.

I'm assuming that some other teacher has used this kind of game before so, if you have, and have some good additional suggestions, please leave them in the comments....

I'm adding this idea to The Best Sites To Practice Speaking English, where I've also been listing classroom speaking activities.
