My FAVE Speaking Activity for World Language Classes: "And You" & How to Play

The "And You" game transforms speaking practice in world language classrooms, helping students overcome anxiety while having fun with movement and authentic communication.

• Based on a college orientation icebreaker game that needs minimal preparation
• Students form a circle with placeholders, with one person in the middle making a statement
• Anyone who shares that trait must find a new spot, creating movement and engagement
• Works with any language unit - from basic likes/dislikes to clothing, food, or complex topics
• Offers scaffolding for shy students through group responses and visual supports
• Requires sufficient comprehensible input before asking students to produce language
• Can be adapted for any proficiency level by adjusting complexity of required statements
• Most effective when kept short (about 10 minutes) and followed by discussion
• Turns the class community into authentic content for language learning
