Starter Activity - Teacher Talkabout

I did this today with my Year 12’s. Went down a storm it did.

I have previously posted a blog about a teaching activity called talkabout, whereby students are given 1 minute to talk about a topic and hit as many related key words as possible. You can find it here.

Today, I turned this whole activity on its head.

I told my students that they had to come up with a topic and that I was going to talkabout it for a minute.

So, I stood outside the room for 2 minutes whilst the students picked a topic along with the key words related to that topic. I then had one minute to talkabout the topic, guessing as many of the key words as possible.

A great alternative to the original.

Enjoy…............
