Aims: To get students to talk LOUDLY and CLEARLY.
Procedure:
1. Using toy plastic phones, the JTE and the AET (or a student) conduct a conversation from different sides of the classroom.
2. Repeat
3. Pass one phone up and down the rows. When the phone “rings” the student holding it must conduct a short conversation using the same pattern.
4. Use as many unusual and strange sound effects as possible. Make ringing sounds, busy signals, the tones from push button-phones, etc.
5. Absolutely DO NOT move closer to hear a student. Insist the student talk as if he or she were on a real phone.
6. As the game progresses, make each new student add at least one new detail or pattern from the previous conversation.
Materials: Two toy plastic phones
