These conversation prompts for teens are a fun way to get students talking. It’s a great speaking activity at the beginning of the term or also as a substitute lesson. You can basically use it in any lesson that is designed to get your students’ talking.

Students can talk to each other in small groups or pairs, which makes them lose their inhibitions faster. You can rotate them after a certain amount of time, so that they talk to different students during the activity.

My students always have great fun doing this activity and everyone can talk according to their own proficiency. It is possible to answer in short sentences if the students are still early learners but more proficient students can also simply have a conversation with the questions as the conversation starter.
