FREE MISC. LESSON - “FREE DE ACUERDO DESACUERDO ELE Icebreaker Speaking Game Editable Teens”

by Lingua Land Education
6th - 12th Grade


Need a fun debate/icebreaker activity for teens? Check out our FREE "DE ACUERDO - DESACUERDO JUEGO DE DEBATE" customizable speaking game you'll get your students talking right away. I have used this activity with teens and adults in online/ face2face classes. It is a great icebreaker or debate activity if you are working on 'EXPRESAR OPINIONES" OR "DEBATE".

This is a free resource so please be kind and leave a review. 


What's included?

  • 1 PPT EDITABLE:
  • 24 slides incluyendo:
  • Instrucciones y Variaciones
  • 20 TEMAS DE DEBATE

TEACHER NOTES:

Use this game as a warm-up or an ice-breaker.

The level of the students should be at least B1. (ELE - ESPAÑOL - SSL)

VARIATIONS:

Small Groups: Get students in small groups (3-5). Have them

read the statements on the slide and discuss whether they agree

or disagree. Depending on their English level, encourage the

use of phrases to state their opinion and arguments to back up

their decision. You can also pre-teach some of this vocabulary.

Moving around the classroom: Select three areas in the classroom

and assign them one response (Estoy de acuerdo, no estoy seguro... /no sé... , Estoy en desacuerdo ) read a statement and ask students to stand on the side according

to their opinion. You can also add more lines as in the original activity.

This activity was inspired by the Spectrum videos by Jubilee.
