Corners activity. Put four different topic images/phrases/viewpoints in the corners of the classroom, and then ask students to go to the corner they relate to most. They could then discuss with others in that corner why they agree with each other. Or you could put one person from each corner together to make groups of four to discuss why they have differing views
Guess who. Put students into pairs and hand out a wad of sticky notes to each pair. They write a word or statement relating to the lesson and put it on their partner’s head. Their partner then has to guess what or who they are.
