Overview

In this novice-mid Spanish activity, students work in pairs to practice interpersonal conversation skills. Students are paired together and one student uses a pre-printed question card to ask questions of the other student. The responding students must spend three minutes answering the questions. The goal is to add in as many details as possible and to avoid one-word answers. After three minutes, the roles are reversed. Students will then change cards so that they discuss another topic with another student. The topics covered in this review are common level 1 topics: Vacation, Family & School. (The school questions can be adapted to apply to your specific school as needed.)
