A really fun starter that my classes love. Students have 2 minutes to list the top ten of a topic e.g. 10 most used words in the English language, 10 most popular websites etc. Timer included which you can change for a longer/shorter time. I have included 13 questions for your classes to do (and the template is there for you to add more). It really gets the students engaged.
The students love this idiom activity based on the TV game show ‘Catchphrase.’ The students have to guess the idiom catchphrase and then explain what it means. They have 22 to complete! There is also a fun activity on ten international idioms where the students discuss what they mean.
