Ask students to talk about the things they do during holidays. Play the “Freeze”

“Freeze” ball game rules:Students stand in a circle and teacher gives them a ball.
Teacher throws a ball to one student and asks the student to pass it to
the next student very quickly until s/he says “freeze”. If the teachersays
freeze the student holding the ball cannot pass the ball. S/he must
answer five questions about holidays which the teacher will ask.
When the student answers the questions then game continues.If s/he
can’t then other students can help.
To make it more fun the teacher can close his/her eyes and pretends to
sleep while the ball is being passed around. The without warning s/he
shouts“freeze” suddenly. The student with the ball must answer the
teacher’s questions.
After two rounds it is good to give the asking question role to the other
students. If the class is small I usually askeveryone to as the student with
the ball at least one question related to the topic ( in this case holidays)
passing the ball around the circle. The teacher closes his yes and pretends
to sleep.Suddenly the teacher opens his eyes and shouts “stop,Stop” .
