My Memories
In this speaking activity, students use the past simple tense to talk about various things they
remember.

This activity works best with older students or adults.

Before class, make one copy of the cards for each group of 3 or 4 students and cut as
indicated.

Procedure

Split the class into groups of 3 or 4.

Give each group a set of cards. Ask them to shuffle the cards and place them face down on
the table.

Students take it in turns to pick up a card from the top of the pile.

The student, who picks up the card, then talks about the topic on the card using the past
simple tense.

The rest of the group asks questions to get the person to speak more.

Then, the next student takes a card and so on.
