The bat says, "Do you see that tower? Behind it there is a house. I went in and sucked the blood of all the family."
Dracula says, "Very good".
The second bat goes and comes back after 5 minutes. Its face is covered in blood. Dracula is shocked, "How did you do that?"
The bat replies, "Do you see that tower? Behind it there is a hotel. I went in and sucked the blood of all the guests."
Dracula says, "Fantastic."
Now, the third bat goes and comes after just 1 minute. All of its body is covered in blood. Dracula doesn't believe his eyes,
"How did you do that?"
The bat replies, "Do you see that tower?"
Dracula replies, "Yes."
And the bat says, "Well, I didn't."

A man was praying as he was having a walk on a beach in California. Suddenly, the sky above him clouded over and he could hear the Lord say:
"Because you have been faithful to me in all ways, I will make one of your wishes true."
"Build me a bridge from here to Hawaii. I want to be able to drive there anytime I feel like."
"That is a very materialistic and wasteful wish! Take your time to think and tell me another wish. A kind one!"
The man thought for a long time. Finally, he said, "Lord, I would like to understand my wife. I want to know how she feels inside... What she is thinking when she gives me the silent treatment... Why she cries... What she means when she says 'nothing is wrong'... And how I can make a woman truly happy?"
"Do you want two or four lanes on that bridge?"

En esta actividad se requiere del uso de adjetivos, comparativos y superlativos en frases cortas. En la clase se prepara un grupo de oraciones que describan a un compañero de aula utilizando adjetivos y los demás compañeros deben adivinar de quién se está hablando.
Esta actividad involucra la produccion corta de un texto con vocabulario básico y descriptivo, habilidades requeridas del nivel de preproducción  (COEDITAN, 2002).
La estrategia se basa en la interacción con pares, lo que reduce la ansiedad de cometer errores  (Pica & Doughty, 1989).

Con el fin de repasar el vocabulario se dispone a los estudiantes en grupos y se les entrega las tarjetas del dominó (adjunto ejemplo en la imagen). Una vez finalizado correctamente el dominó se pide que los estudiantes formulen oraciones cortas con el vocabulario.

En la etapa A2 del aprendizaje se espera que los estudiantes dupliquen su vocabulario en relación a la etapa A1 y sean capaces de formular oraciones cortas y coherentes (COEDITAN, 2002).
Laufer & Hulstijn (2001), describen la importancia de crear un aprendizaje de vocabulario incidental es decir involucrar a los estudiantes a aprender vocabulario mediante actividades que permitan investigar y asociar dicho vocabulario. En este caso se permite que los estudiantes investiguen el vocabulario que no conocen y lo retengan mediante la asociación de las imágenes o producción oral.

Esta actividad requiere de una hoja de trabajo en la que se presenta una lista de preguntas y los estudiantes deben preguntar a sus compañeros y conseguir a alguien que les diga que si a una de las preguntas para completar un punto.

Ejemplo:
1. Bananas/do/like/ you/?
El estudiante ordena la pregunta:
2. Do you like bananas?
El alumno se acera a sus compañeros de clase y les pregunta
3. Yes, I like bananas
El estudiante consigue un punto por tener una respuesta positiva de un compañero.
Esta actividad involucra una de las habilidades básicas del nivel A2 que son las preguntas si/no (Ballard &Tighe, 2011). La interacción con pares permite la práctica del idioma sin la preocupación de equivocarse,  ya que sus compañeros también se equivocan  (Pica & Doughty, 198

De acuerdo con el Marco Común Europeo de Referencia, el nivel A2 o de producción temprana se describe en base a las habilidades del estudiante que ocurren entre los 6 meses y el año de aprender un idioma:

Es capaz de comprender frases y expresiones de uso frecuente relacionadas con áreas de experiencia que le son especialmente relevantes (información básica sobre sí mismo y su familia, compras, lugares de interés, ocupaciones, etc.). Sabe comunicarse a la hora de llevar a cabo tareas simples y cotidianas que no requieran más que intercambios sencillos y directos de información sobre cuestiones que le son conocidas o habituales. Sabe describir en términos sencillos aspectos de su pasado y su entorno, así como cuestiones relacionadas con sus necesidades inmediatas.
