Objectives
People learn in a playful way to make whole sentences, to present and express themselves. This activity can help them to overcome their shyness to speak in the language of their new country. It increases self confidence and fluency in a new language.
Instructions
All the participants are on Zoom.
- Ask them to pick up an object around them that has significant importance to them. They can pick up any object around them.
- The participants will present their object as if they are this object. They must speak in the first person and tell about their life as this object. For example: Hello, I am a Japanese fan, I was bought by X a long time ago. I spend my time making air, it’s exhausting but I’m beautiful and I accompany X in all his or her travels.
- Engage participants to talk for at least a minute and make up ideas to make the activity fun. You can start and thus give them an example.
