4. Scenes from the Hat 
This is a traditional improv game where students draw prepared scenes from a 
hat or bowl. They’ll have to act the scene or task that’s written on the piece of paper 
they’ve drawn. 
The Activity:
Ask the students to draw their scenes/tasks from the bowl. Depending on the skill 
level of your students, you can ask them to do the scene impromptu, that is, they 
perform as soon as they’re done reading what’s written on the paper. 
For beginners and intermediate students, it would be better if you give them a 
day or two to compose their lines or dialogue. Doing it this way, you give ample time 
for students to wrestle with the language, to research, to practice their lines over and 
over. 
As with other speaking activities in this post, what you witness come 
presentation day is actually the finished product of significant minutes or hours of 
speaking practice. 
5. Sing Me That Song 
Students pick a familiar English song. They’ll translate that song into the target 
language, then sing it in the translated lyrics. This is an activity where students get 
speaking practice through music and melody. 

---

The Activity:
Come presentation day, the student sings the 
translated (and corrected) lyrics in front of the 
class, to the delight of everyone seated. 
This activity is actually both a translation 
exercise as well as a speaking activity. It 
broadens your class’s vocabulary by engaging 
them in a translation activity. And beyond that, you have just given them a wonderful 
opportunity for practice by employing the memory-friendly device of song. Trust me, 
your wards will find it very difficult to forget the song and the experience many years 
hence. 
6. Hard Questions 
Students get to discuss the hard questions in life. “Ketchup or Mustard?” “Who’s 
cooler, Superman or Batman?” “Jacob or Edward?” 
The Activity:
Student talking time in the beginner phases often serve as comprehension checks. In 
“Hard Questions,” talking time is used to develop both thinking as well as language 
skills. 
Do the activity as a class and facilitate the discussion by inviting opinions from the 
members of class. Who’s cooler, Superman or Batman? You can actually spend the 
whole session with just that question. Anybody can talk and throw in their two cents 
into the pool of ideas. Ask the class to give their reasons and make their point. 
If nobody speaks up at first, give your own opinion on the matter and ask if they 
agree. Coax, tempt and lure your wards into agreeing or disagreeing with you. Your 
skill as a facilitator will be very important. Probe and lead, but most of all, be very 
positive and 
motivate your students
.
