These cards aim to enhance fluency and spontaneity amongst KS5 pupils. The idea is that they pick up a card at random, ask their partner the question and listen to their partner’s response (and vice versa). All cards cover the different topics which come up at AS level (fashion, young people, family, tv, music, art, culture, internet and technology, tourism etc.) They are colour-coded based on topic and cover a range of different questions - ranging from the easier to the more challenging. Of course, this resource could be used in a number of ways but I used it with my Year 12 class as a spontaneous on-the-spot speaking activity in which pupils gave each other verbal feedback. It was very successful and pupils enjoyed the surprise element of it!

111 cards in total!! This resource is ideal for revision of different tenses. Pupils can either work their way through this 20 page document for revision, or you could cut up the tense cards (all differentiated and colour coded red, orange, green) and pupils could select cards at random and test themselves. This is a great resource for increasing spontaneity, fluency and accuracy as pupils must complete their chosen card as quickly as possible without making any errors. Adding a competitive element to filling out these cards worked really well with my class! :)
