It’s the first day of school, and you are unsure how well your ELLs will be able to speak English. It’s intimidating, but let’s not sweat it. I have used this activity to get students connecting with classmates.
I know you’re back-to-school busy, so this is ready to download, open, and project to your students. Just grab index cards!

Here’s what you’ll get:
✔ a slide with directions and hyperlinks to make implementation a breeze
✔ a slide with 6 YouTube timers ready to play- just choose what to use
✔ 2 slides of speaking stems to support beginners or push intermediate speakers
✔ scaffolded slides so students can easily move throughout the steps
✔ a written reflection with writing stems for easy informal assessment
But what you will love is:
❤️students will begin connecting with their peers right away
❤️students will hit all 4 domains of language without even noticing
❤️you will be able to informally assess your students’ personalities and language levels to make future grouping and differentiation easy
