    Students form groups of four and each suit of a playing card represents a discussion topic, such as diamonds representing earning money. Each student picks a card and writes 4-5 open-ended questions about their topic to ask the other group members, like asking about the importance of money or easiest ways to earn it. The teacher instructs students to ask open-ended, not yes-no, questions so they must reply in full sentences to practice speaking.

    Playing Cards

    In this game, students should form groups of four. Each suit will represent a topic. For instance:

     Diamonds: Earning money


     Hearts: Love and relationships
     Spades: An unforgettable memory
     Clubs: Best teacher
    Each student in a group will choose a card. Then, each student will write 4-5 questions about that topic
    to ask the other people in the group. For example:

    If the topic "Diamonds: Earning Money" is selected, here are some possible questions:

     Is money important in your life? Why?


     What is the easiest way of earning money?
     What do you think about lottery? Etc.
    However, the teacher should state at the very beginning of the activity that students are not allowed to
    prepare yes-no questions, because by saying yes or no students get little practice in spoken language
    production. Rather, students ask open-ended questions to each other so that they reply in complete
    sentences.
