VOCABULARY

THE JOB NOBODY WANTS

The Premise 

Every group has them: the people who carry the logistical weight of the entire friendship on their backs. They are the human GPS, the interest-free ATM, and the event planner who hasn't slept since 2018. In this activity, we aren't just thanking them—we are putting them on the hot seat to defend their choices.

 

WHICH ONE ARE YOU? WHICH ONE IS YOUR FRIEND?

ODD ONE OUT SPEAKING ACTIVITY

 

OUT-OF-PLACE OBJECTS: WHAT ARE THEY DOING THERE?

Watch the video, identify any strange or eye-catching objects you spot in it, and try to come up with a convincing explanation for why they’re in your drawer. You can also use your sense of humour

FSPOT THE OUT-OF-PLACE OBJECTS IN THESE DRAWERS de Segni

WHAT IS THIS DOING HERE? de Segni

GUESS THE OWNER OF THE SUITCASES

The students pack their own suitcase with the items they would always take with them on a trip. These must be items that reflect who they are. The rest of the classmates must guess who the suitcase belongs to and why 

Look at the images of someone’s suitcase/bag, describe what you see, and guess who the bag belongs to, de Segni

WHAT MATTERS MOST TO YOU IN LIFE

This activity helps us stop and think. When we make a list of things we cannot buy, we start to see what we really value. Things like time, love, friendship, and peace of mind are very important — 

When we reflect, we ask ourselves: What makes me happy? What do I have that is special? 

This is simple, but very powerful. A few minutes of reflection can help us live with more meaning and appreciation every day.

HABITS AND ROUTINES: THAT'S ME-NOT ME

ANOTHER TYPE OF GAME TO PRACTISE THE ADJECTIVES

How a round works: A card flips with an -ING adjective (e.g. terrifying, satisfying, captivating...) and a hint example. The timer counts down. When time's up, a judge screen appears so the teacher or a designated judge can accept or reject each answer with one tap. Points are awarded and the scoreboard updates instantly.
