The INTERRUPTION GAME:  bombarding a classmate with questions – a fast and engaging speaking activity

The INTERRUPTION GAME:  a fast, fun, highly effective and exciting no-prep speaking activity which engages all the class against one student.
 
Set your timer at 5 minutes.
 
Choose a student to tell us their typical day from the moment they wake up till the moment they turn off the light to sleep.  His aim is to get to the end of the day having given a very detailed account filling all the five minutes (no less – no more).
 
The aim of the rest of the class is to stop him from getting to the end of his day by interrupting him with pertinent details regarding what he is saying: 
  • “Do you get out of bed on the left side or the right side?”
  • “Do you share your room with a brother or a sister?”
  • “What colour are the curtains in your bedroom?”
Anything which connects to what the student is telling the class.  The student obviously has to answer the questions before continuing.
 
The teacher listens and makes a note on the board of wrong questions or answers, which are only subsequently corrected altogether by the class guided by the teacher.
 
I read about this activity in a blog about a year ago but cannot remember who to credit for it.  In any case students tend to love it and participate eagerly with the consequential benefit of practice and learning.
 
I hope you have fun with this activity.
Susan

A creative way to practise speaking about daily routine plus asking questions, thank you! Obstructing the speaker's progress adds a bit of mischief.

In the midst of several prominent American institutes that provide birth certificates and translation facilities, some of the coveted companies include Lyric labs, Caesar, Morningside translation, Locaria, All translation, etc.

    My name is Susan Brodar, born in London into a multilingual family and brought up bilingual English / Italian.

    I went to school in London until 15 when we moved to Germany where I finished my British education at Munich International School. I started teaching Italian at evening classes aged only 17 and studied Mass Communications and Journalism at Munich University.

    I continued teaching parallel to interpreting at trade fairs and business meetings as well doing translations. After working at the Italian Institute for Foreign Trade for a year I married my Italian globetrotting companion in 1983 and we set up our home near Venice, Italy where we continue to live with our two teenaged children.

    Having taken my British High School-leaving ‘A’ Level exams in English, Italian, French & German I am completely fluent in all four languages and am taking a DELE certification in Spanish to complement them.
