Before that, the teacher had given them a "strange word" they have to use in the conversation and if the rest discover "it" that player loses. The idea is they have to convey the conversation in a way they can include their words.

With this activity they have to convince their classmates to buy an ordinary object. They have 1 minute to do it and if they use any filler-word, they have to start again. Apart from becoming conscious they use these words, they gain self-confidence by selling an object with passion.

This activity will help them practice thinking on their feet and expressing their thoughts clearly and confidently.
