Line students up standing back to back A/B. Have them turn around and have A tell B the information on their card. Once A is done, shift one and have B tell another A what is on their card. Ask students if they want to rotate one more time... Cover some highlights on the PPT when complete and tell students how this can be used to practice conversation in an ESL class.
