1, 3, 2
Huge thanks to a good friend Steve O for this amazing game. Materials-free, no preparation, works with all ages and levels and it makes your students laugh.
Put students into pairs and ask them to repeat “1, 3, 2” taking it in turns to say a number. It sounds simple, but it’s actually quite difficult.
Give them a couple of minutes to try that then introduce “1, clap, 2”.
Hilarity ensues.

I played “pass the object” yesterday, also by Steve O. We were going to spend part of the lesson learning how to do PET Speaking Part 3, so I thought getting them to describe mundane objects would be a good warmer.
In groups of three I gave them an object to pass round and say something about. After a while each group passed on their object so ecah group had to talk about all three things. The objects were: a pen, a toy car and a pocket calculator.
At the end, I said three sentences and they had to guess which sentence was true for each object. These were:
This is from a Chinese shop (bazar)
This was a present.
This was left behind by a student.
Can you guess? (It’s very easy!)
This sounds like fun!
