Lesson 22 – Interruptions

to interrupt / an interruption. What does it mean?
You are going to play a game called interruptions. You are going to hear a story from the teacher and you must ask lots of questions to stop the teacher from finishing his/her story.

Create groups of four.
Look at the set of cards
The rules:
– When you say Go, one person must talk for two minutes about the subject on the card. The others must ask questions to stop them finishing. With strong classes, you can make it three minutes.
– If the speaker finishes the story, or if the group run out of questions before two minutes, then the speaker wins.
– If the speaker has not finished after two minutes, or if the group are still asking questions, then the speaker loses.
If the speaker wins, they keep the card; if not, they put it on the bottom of the pile.
– The winner is the person with the most cards at the end.
The teacher will decide who starts. Take a card.
Start when the teacher tells you to start. When the time is up the teacher will shout Stop.
The player on the left of the speaker chooses another card, and the process is repeated. The activity will stop before all the cards are gone.

Those who finish take another card and repeat the process until only one student remains.
