Hello Everyone,

I am just looking to brainstorm fun activities to public school children.

I have 300-400 students divided into 12 classes. So, class sizes are around 40 students.

I just want some very fun listening and speaking activities. I have my own ideas, and have used play money, chips, whistles, etc. But, I'd like to hear others who have found great speaking activities.

What follow up questions are needed?

I've used a hidden object game which always seems to get them excited and talking. Get them to bring in an object from their homes, hidden in a box/bag. Students ask questions on it's use, colour, shape, size, etc.
Various takes on the effective yes/no game have been sucessfull.
Use of blindfolds with activities on the 5 senses is always fun.
Come up with your own and try to incorprate relia would be my suggestion. There are a multitude of resources and ideas available online these days.
