 * Put students into pairs
 * One student begins with a sentence and the other student says "Yes and" then adds more information.
 * Use a timer to get students speaking for 1 minute or longer.
 * Put students into pairs
 * Student A makes up a rumor to tell student B.
 * Student B adds to the rumor then both students giggle.
 * Student B then makes up the rumor and student A adds to the rumor.
 * Use a timer to get students speaking for 1 minute or longer.
 * You will need a bell or whistle.
 * Put students into pairs
 * Have the pairs make up a scene or give them one. They are choosing a scene they can easily talk about so they may want something simple like going shopping, playing a sport, etc. Or you could have the scene match your lesson topic.
 * Student A begins by speaking about the topic. Student B rings the bell every 10 seconds or so. When student B rings the bell, student A must speak in Jibberish (a made up language).
 * Use a timer to get students speaking for 1 minute or longer.
 * You will need an everyday object such as an eraser, a chair, a broom, or other object. You can choose to bring in as many as you want. We will use a broom as an example.
 * Place students in a circle.
 * Place 2 students in the center of the circle with the broom.
 * Student A decides what to pretend the broom is either than a broom. For example, student A may decide the broom is a spaceship.
 * Student A then demonstrates the broom is a spaceship through acting and using dialogue until student B figures this out.
 * Student B determines the broom is a spaceship and plays along matching the dialogue.
 * When a student in the circle imagines the object is something else that student taps student A or B and replaces that student in the skit.
