Practice making polite requests:

Each of you have a different set of cards. You shouldn't show your cards to
each other. Each picture card is one half of a situation and shows a person or
people in a speech bubble.

1. (Student A) Choose one of your cards and describe the situation (but not
what the person is saying) to the rest of the group.
2. Others in the group: If you think you have the other half of the picture
describes your card.
3. Both students put their cards down to check. Then, if the cards match, they
act out the situation using the language in the speech bubbles to help them.
You should try to make the conversation last about thirty seconds if possible
— the pictures are just a starting point.
4. After the conversation, Student B then chooses one card and describes the
situation to the rest of the group.
5. Choose your best conversation and act it out for the whole class
