101 Communicative Games for the English Class by Turtledove (on Amazon.com)
My new favorite resource book!
In level 5 we have been doing some open conversation for the last few weeks.
The students seem to love the improvisation and miming scenes they create. It usually takes them a little bit to get warmed up but once they do, they really get into it and start having fun - like children playing make believe.
So far they have created a Telenovela and improvised scenes and characters for exaggerated melodramatic effect.
They also did a deserted island improv and mimed out an entire scene of their characters working as a team to get some coconuts out of a tree using rope, a knife, and an axe.
"I'm the king of the island!!!" He who holds the coconuts
