Test

Describe a mingle activity you might create for a new class of intermediate level students to help them introduce themselves to each other.
The best way to help students mingle with each other and enhance their proficiency in the English language is by using ice-breaker activities. This effectively encourages the participants to interact with each other freely. An activity which might be done is a ‘getting to know you’ activity where the participants will be given a certain period of time to gather information about one person in the class. This can also be done by groups of three and everyone in the group is supposed to say something about the other two. The teacher could also do a similar mingling activity using music (happy tunes such a reggae work best). Explain to students that you'll play some music and when you stop they have to greet the person next to them by shaking their hands and introducing themselves (name, country, nationality, age, likes and dislikes, etc). Do it a few times adding new 'topics'; then add some variation and fun by asking them to greet each other in a different mood, for example 'greet each other happily' or 'sadly' or 'you don't like the person you're greeting' or 'he/she is your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend', 'you're in a bad mood', etc. You can make it more complicated by changing the topics without warning or by asking the students to say the next word using the last letter of the last word
