Mini Role-Plays Using Phrasal Verbs (Teachy Games Special)

Description

🎭 Activity: Mini Role-Plays Using Phrasal Verbs (Teachy Games Special)

🧠 Focus:

Students practice using phrasal verbs related to memory (e.g., think back, forget about, come up with, look back on, bring back, remind someone of) in fun and creative situations — not necessarily related to memory.

🎯 Objectives:

• Develop speaking fluency and confidence

• Practice using target phrasal verbs in context

• Encourage teamwork, creativity, and improvisation

🎲 Materials Needed:

• A set of role-play cards (printable) with different scenarios

• Optionally, Teachy Games Memory cards to review phrasal verbs before the activity

• Space for small groups to act out their scenes

⏱️ Timing:

30–45 minutes
(can be adapted to 1 full session)

📝 Steps:

1. Warm-Up (Optional – 10 min):
   Use the Teachy Games Memory game to review the meaning and usage of memory-related phrasal verbs. Students match verbs with definitions or example sentences.

2. Distribute Role-Play Cards (5 min):
   Divide the class into pairs or small groups (2–3 students). Give each group a different role-play card with a funny or imaginative situation.

3. Prepare the Role-Play (10–15 min):
   Each group reads their scenario and prepares a short dialogue. They must include at least one phrasal verb from the target list in their performance.

4. Performance Time! (10–15 min):
   Each group performs their scene in front of the class. Encourage creativity, accents, costumes, or props if available!

5. Feedback and Reflection (5–10 min):
   After each scene, ask the class:

   • “Which phrasal verb did they use?”

   • “Was it used correctly?”
     Optionally, vote for “Most Creative”, “Funniest”, “Best Use of a Phrasal Verb”, etc.

This activity works great as an end-of-term review, a fun speaking lesson, or a way to reinforce vocabulary through drama. You can adapt the difficulty by adjusting the vocabulary or providing sentence starters.
