Speed Speak

I didn't make this activity. I got it from Englipedia and couldn't find it here on ALTopedia. I've played it 3 years in a row now, and my students have loved it every time, so I wanted to share. If anyone knows who made it, please let me know!

1. Give each student a score sheet and a card. The scorecard also has the target language on it that'll be used in the game, so practice that before starting.
2. Tell them to fold the card so the words are on one side and the pictures are on the other.
3. They stand up and find a pair.
4. On the count of 3, both students hold up the picture-side of their card to their pair and race to make a sentence out of their pair's card. For example, "Akiko used a computer on Monday," or "I played baseball on Friday".
5. Whoever could say the sentence on their pair's card first can circle "Me" on the score sheet, which equals one point.
6. The students say "goodbye" and find a new pair.
7. Repeat until time is up or until several students have talked to 10 students.

*Note: the picture for "Friday" is silver instead of gold, and students made fun of me for that, so after printing out the cards, I colored them yellow with a highlighter, lol.
