Play Topic game to Improve Spoken English

Improve spoken English has come up with an innovative game for improving your communication skills and fluency. The importance of playing English games cannot be denied for improving spoken English. The game discussed today is a topic game. It could be played with any number of candidates, but has to be more then one. If played in presence of a teacher, then it could yield the best results. The larger the number of participants the better the game would be.

The rules of this game are very simple and are detailed below. You may modify the rules as per your convenience.

Rule 1 for Topic Game
The number of students has to be more then one. Try to get maximum number of friends, to get the best output. The language of the game is purely English, so please no native languages.

Rule 2 for Topic Game
Each participant is supposed to think of a topic. It might be some review of a product, a personal experience or some funny incidents. Each candidate is supposed to speak on that topic for at least 2 to 3 minutes. If a teacher or a person good in English is also present, then it is very beneficial.

Rule 3 for Topic Game
Each candidate will be allotted a number, may be row wise, and he or she will speak on his or her turn. There are no questions allowed in between, as it may break the momentum of the speaker. The other candidates are supposed to be supportive and not make fun in case of a mistake in speaking English.

Rule 4 for Topic Game
The motive for the candidates whose turn has come, is to keep the listeners involved, and maintain their interest while they speak.

Rule 5 for the Topic Game
In case some other language apart from English is spoken by someone, then he or she would be supposed to do some eccentric tasks, like dance on a song, or sing a song for all in English.

You are free to modify the rules as per the number of students available and as per your comfort, but the language spoken throughout the game has to be purely English. This task is surely going to help all the students gain confidence and is a very good game for personality development. The main advantage is the shedding of fears, that is inherent to most of us for public speaking.

Go ahead and enjoy the game, this will surely be bonus to your communication skills and overall personality. That's all for today, Improve Spoken English will soon be back.
