Step 1: Set Up the Lines

Divide the class into two equal lines:

•One line will be called Line A, and the other will be Line B.

•Have Line A stand directly across from Line B, so each student is facing a partner.

Step 2: Explain the Rules

The structure is simple: one person starts with a sentence, and the other must reply with "Yes, and..." before adding to the story.

The guideline:

Line A will always start by saying any sentence (e.g. A compliment, random observation, a fact, or even something silly)

Line B will respond with Yes, and… to agree with the first sentence and add something to the story.

The responses can be humorous, imaginitive or thoughtful__ there are no wrong answers!

For example:

Line A: You have the coolest shoes!

Line B: Yes, and they can jump as high as kangaroos!

After both students have spoken, move on to the next pair.

Reflection:

After a few rounds, ask students to share the funniest or the most creative Yes, and… they heard.

Steps to Follow:

•  Instruct students to introduce themselves by stating their name along with an adjective that begins with the same letter as their name.

•  The adjective needs to represent something about their mood, personality or something they aspire to be.

• To make it even more fun, each student will also come up with a simple action or gesture that represents their adjective.

•  Demonstrate the activity yourself first by providing an example to the class before beginning the game.

For example:

Stressed Sareh

•

•It is better to give a minute or so to come up with an adjective.

•Depending on the number of students, it can be group work or a whole class activity.

•To make it more interactive, you can ask them if they remember any of their classmates’ names or adjectives.

•Even the person who remembers the most, can be the winner!

1. Have students pair up. Decide which students will remain seated across from each other or if they will rotate between desks.

2. Project the interview questions on the board or distribute handouts with the questions. They will have 2 to 3 minutes for each round before moving to the next partner. Each person should ask one question at a time.

3. In the end, ask for volunteers to share some interesting facts they learned about their classmates with the rest of the class.

1. Take some time to brainstorm and prepare yourself.

2. Teach It

You can present in either:

Small groups (3–5 people): everyone teaches in turns

Stations: teachers rotate around the room

Whole group: for smaller teams, each teacher teaches in front of all

3.Debrief & Reflect (5–10 mins)

“Which skill surprised you the most?”

“What does this say about how we communicate and simplify ideas?”

“How did the time limit affect your teaching?”

Preparation: Prepare name tags or sticky notes with the names of simple, recognizable characters
Guess the Character: Explain to the students that they are now the character on the name tag. Their task is to figure out who they are by asking yes-or-no questions to their classmates
Basic Questions: Encourage students to use basic English questions like "Am I a boy/girl?", "Am I from a book?", "Am I a superhero?", "Do I have magical powers?", etc
Pair Up: After everyone has guessed their character, have the students pair up and introduce themselves in character. For example, "Hello, I am Obama. Nice to meet you!" or "I am Tom Cruise. Nice to meet you too!"

Finally, have each student introduce their character to the rest of the class, still in character, creating a fun and entertaining atmosphere.

Preparation: Create a set of emoji cards or print out emoji images representing common actions, objects, and emotions (e.g., 🍎, 🏃‍♀️, 😊, etc.).

Introduction: Show the students an emoji card and ask them what they think it represents. Elicit responses from the class and have fun discussing different interpretations.

Group Storytelling: Divide the class into small groups (3-4 students per group) and provide each group with a set of emoji cards.

Create a Story: In their groups, the students will work together to create a short story using the emojis they have. Encourage them to connect the emojis logically to form a coherent narrative.

Present the Story: Each group takes turns presenting their emoji story to the rest of the class. They can either act it out or simply explain the story using simple sentences.
