I have a class that I teach with about 10 people.It is not a serious class of begginers who are interested in learning but really its more a of a social gathering;so the want to have fun. I woud like to spice up the class and give the students more opportunities to speak. Any Ideas?

divide them up (obviously) and do info-gap activities. into the grammar point first to the whole group. change the groups regularly (easier when you get to know their levels).

I've had loads of those sorts of community classes and they're my favourite, really keen to do stuff.
