There’s A Fly In My Soup

Role Play Topic: Ordering and eating food at a restaurant.

Description: In this role play scenario, students would use their

knowledge of food vocabulary and common questions to order food in
English at a restaurant. This a common role play topic for English
classes with beginner learners.

To make this role play more fun, tell students that after they have
ordered their food, and the food has been served, they should then
act out that there is a ‘problem’ with the food.

This ‘problem’ could be something as simple as “There’s a fly in my

soup!” or “My food is too cold!”, but you can let your students be as
imaginative as they like.

 News Report
Role Play Topic: Past Tense

Description: This last role play idea is a great way to review past

tense with students.

Ask students to imagine a funny / crazy thing that happened in their

town and then to create a news report about it. For example, ‘There’s
a rhino loose in the city!’.

Tell students to think of a headline which sums up the story and a

brief description of what happened. Then, the news report can cut to
someone ‘in the field’ where they can interview people on the street
about what they saw.
