Printable version of Crazy dictation (1) and other worksheets

Aim

To review language for making appointments
To develop listening and pronunciation skills

Activity
Students complete a dialogue by dictating sentences across the classroom.
Organization
Pair work
Preparation
Make enough copies of the activity for the number of pairs in your class.
What do I do?
1 Put students into pairs, facing each other across the room.
2 Hand out the activity. Give A to one student in each pair, and B to the other.
3 Students dictate their half of the dialogue to their partner across the room, until both have completed it. The first pair to finish (accurately) is the winner.
4 Use the dialogue to review language for making appointments.
