Commercials

Time: 15-50 minutes

How to:
1.Ask class to make up a random gibberish word like "Snarflax"

2. Separate students into 2-4 people per group.

3.Tell students that they are going to make a 2 minute commercial selling us "Snarflax". Make us want to buy this product. Tell them to be creative. Set a time limit 5-10 minutes.

4. Walk around to each group and discuss what they are selling, make sure it is appropriate. If needed help them get the ball rolling. If students say they already know what they are doing and are sitting down have them practice their commercial for you, give suggestions and encouragement.

5. When time limit is up have student sit back down and watch each other's commercials.

Students get really into this and always want to do it again with a new word.
