Today I'm going to talk about a simple listening activity that's great for beginners. it's called me too. So this activity works best if students can sit in a circle or kind of just in a location where they can kind of all see each other quite easily. Students have to think of a true statement about themselves. For example: - I have a cat. - I like pizza. - I don't like playing sports. Whatever it is. The student says I have a cat and then if other students in the class could also say that's true for themselves, they stand up and then they say me too. And then everyone can kind of look around and they could say, you have a cat too? Or, you play soccer as well? or just whatever the statement was. Everyone sits down and then the next person in the circle says their true statement about themselves and then whoever it's also true for, everyone stands up and says me too. Super simple! It's great for kids and yeah it's ideal for beginners. It's kind of a simple, very, very simple listening activity and also a bit of a speaking activity as well.
