For my first post, I decided to share a game that I use in my practice as an early childhood educator. Although TESOL instructors primarily work with adult learners in Canada, I thought that this activity could be useful in an adult English education classroom. For our first assignment, our professor asked us to create an "ice-breaker" activity that could be used in an ESL classroom (see attachment of PDF). Conversation cube is a game that is, ironically, similar to the game "beach ball toss". I love this game because the dice can be used for a variety of different uses in the classroom. For instance, it can be used to introduce new concepts, review concepts, or even getting to know classmates. This activity promotes opportunities for students to practice speaking and listening skills. You can even get students to write down answers or questions for their classmates to answer. This would depend on: - CLB Level (Canadian Language Benchmark) of your students - class size - goals/ objective of what you are teaching As both a future TESOL instructor and RECE, I will definitely be using this game as part of my curriculum in the future !
