LEVEL: intermediate and upper-intermediate
STUDENTS: young adults and adults
TYPE OF ACTIVITY: board game
AIM: to improve the students’ fluency by speaking in small groups and to build their vocabulary

TIMING: 25-30 minutes
PROCEDURE
- Students get into groups of three or four. Each student will need a counter and each group will need a game board and a dice.
- All the counters are put on the square marked START and the first player to throw a six starts the game.
- The students take turns to roll the dice and move along the board according to the number on the dice. When a student lands on a square, s/he will have to talk for two minutes without stopping about the question on the square. If s/he can’t keep talking for two minutes s/he will have to go back three squares. When the two minutes are over the other players in the group may join in and also comment on the question.
- The game continues until one of the players reaches the FINISH square.
COMMENTS
The teacher should try and encourage all the members of the group to say something about each question and not to limit the ‘speaking’ connected to each square to the person who landed there.
