Speaking Bricks

Speaking Bricks are multi-purpose thematic one page speaking activities which can be successfully implemented as warm-ups, fillers and fast-finishers for most levels. They include an aesthetic design with clear speaking prompts and conversation questions, allowing the students to refer to the speaking prompts freely. The discussion with a Speaking Brick might last around 15 minutes and more. They may also be used as a basis for conversation lessons together with our lesson plans.
