Interesting when i was studying English as a teenager i used to hate those activities. It's very confusing, people are talking over each other and it's difficult to concentrate... Remember thinking what a waste of time. Now i understand why teachers insisted on doing those activities... :D

same here! and that makes me think these kinds of settings and activities are important but definitely not suitable for everyone.

I am trainee teacher trying to find different ways of communicating with students on an online platform. Although this is a classroom base activity I think it could be adapted for an online classroom. Thank you for uploading such a wonderful example of dramatic based learning.

You should tell students what the aims are, prompt students by blanks in questions...
