I put students in groups of 4 or 8 and each group has a pack of speaking cards. They pull a card out of the bag and they have to speak for a predetermined amount of time about the topic on the card. Pictures are there for better presentation, otherwise they use their imagination and they don't describe the picture, but speak freely. Also, they have some cues/questions to help them.They choose the best one from each group to speak in front of the whole class later. - ESL worksheets
