ESL Role Play Exercises

Role plays are incredibly useful in the ESL classroom!  These exercises can help students access and use vocabulary atypical in their own daily conversations, encourage quieter students to engage in conversation, and challenge otherwise private students to share their opinions.  

The best part about role play exercises is that students are talking and talking and talking – the entire time!

Unfortunately, the “roles” needed in role play exercises are difficult to find.  So, I set out to create some of my own. 

Check out my online resource page to find more information about the exercises I have used in my classroom!  Let me know what you think or if you have any more ideas.
