Speaking and writing prompt activity cards for Thanksgiving - How do you
By Love Learning Languages - French Resources
Speaking / writing question cards for Thanksgiving - How do you..?
This set of intermediate ESL conversation prompt cards will have your students talking to each other in English. Of course, they can also be used with native speakers to spark lively conversations or as journal prompts about Thanksgiving. Each and every card is unique and makes your students think about how to do things in detail in English. Some are more advanced than others. Just print them, cut them out, and then sort them into stacks of different levels of difficulty for years and years of no-prep activities. The cards are in English only.
This resource is included in my Thanksgiving bundle.
This activity is perfect for small groups or as a whole class activity. Use these cards as a review and vocabulary builder An easy to project PDF with only one card per page is included in case you want to work on the questions as a class without printing and cutting out the cards. Encourage your students to give a thorough complete answer and use the question as a basis for discussion. If the question is "How do you build a snowman", there should be a discussion, not a one line answer "with snow.." These questions are great for essay writing as well!
ex: " I love building snowmen! In fact, I wish it would snow more, so I could make one more often! When it snows a lot, at least two inches or more, I put on my winter clothes and my gloves and head to the park. There I start by...." and so on. It's a really fun activity.

There are many ways you can use this set of cards:
➤ Print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and attach on a ring for small groups to ask and answer questions.
➤ Use as a warm-up speaking activity or ice breaker with a conversation partner. As students enter the classroom have them choose 2-3 cards from a box.
➤ Students who finish their work earlier than others can choose a few of the cards and write out their answers including reasons for their preferences.
➤ Use as exit tickets. Give each student a card before the end of class and as they walk out of the room they tell the teacher their answer.
➤ Stations: Put students into groups and divide the cards amongst them. Have groups rotate to a new station as they finish the cards.
➤ Use the cards with board games. Students must answer a question in order to move.
➤ Great resource for tutoring sessions.
➤ You can also use it as a writing exercise!
