Ever wish your speaking activities could spark more energy and creativity—with less prep time? Meet the Roll & Speak method: a low-tech, high-impact classroom strategy that transforms ordinary discussions into spontaneous, laughter-filled speaking marathons.
🔧 How It Works
This activity blends structured spontaneity (yes, that's a thing) with student choice, critical thinking, and just enough silliness to break the ice.
-
Students get a topic — It could be light (“Pineapple on pizza?”), deep (“Can money buy happiness?”), or imaginative (“What if animals could talk?”).
-
They roll a six-sided die — And whatever number they get determines how they must talk about the topic.
For example:
| 🎲 Roll Task | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Explain your opinion clearly |
| 2 | Give 3 reasons in favour |
| 3 | Give 3 reasons against |
| 4 | What would your grandma say? |
| 5 | Make a comparison |
| 6 | Tell a story |
Suddenly, “Should students wear uniforms?” becomes a platform for debate, drama, and even impersonations (depending on your dice tasks).
🧠 Why It Works
This isn’t just fun—it’s smart pedagogy in disguise. Here's why:
-
Cognitive Flexibility: Changing the speaking mode with each roll helps students think from different perspectives.
-
Spoken Fluency: Students produce extended language output under playful pressure, which boosts fluency.
-
Critical Thinking: They analyze, argue, and reflect—not just talk.
-
Social Skills: Polite disagreement? Active listening? Empathy? It's all baked in.
-
Motivation: Add the unpredictability of dice, and you've gamified speaking without sacrificing substance.
In short, it's where gamification meets communication strategy training.
The whole set of 30 (soon there will be more) is available for 25zl.
