Exercises Speaking and Matching
Make me say “Yes, I have”/Make me say “No, I haven’t”
The students must ask “Have you ever” questions to the teacher or their classmates that they think will get the answer “Yes, I have”, e.g. “Have you ever slept until 10?” They get one point if the answer actually is “Yes” but no points if the answer is “No, I haven’t”. The person with the most points at the end of the game is the winner. You can then reverse the rules of the game so that they must try to get “No” answers with questions like “Have you ever eaten snake?”
In this game the person being asked the Yes/No question such as “Have you ever been higher than 5000 metres” must answer “Yes”, even if that isn’t true. The other students ask them three follow up questions (e.g. “How did it feel?” and “How did you get there?”) and then try to guess whether the original answer was true or not.
We both have/Only I have/I have more than you
Ask pairs of students to find things they have both done, things only they have done, or things they have done (in their lives) more often than their partner. This can also be played for points or as a mingling game.

John Lennon Imagine
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
