Student A begins by speaking about the topic. Student B rings the bell every 10 seconds or so. When student B rings the bell, student A must speak in Jibberish (a made up language).
Use a timer to get students speaking for 1 minute or longer.
You will need an everyday object such as an eraser, a chair, a broom, or other object. You can choose to bring in as many as you want. We will use a broom as an example.
Place students in a circle.
Place 2 students in the center of the circle with the broom.
Student A decides what to pretend the broom is either than a broom. For example, student A may decide the broom is a spaceship.
Student A then demonstrates the broom is a spaceship through acting and using dialogue until student B figures this out.
