ESL Conversation Cards, Speaking Activity for Beginner to Advanced Teens and Adults, 120 Printable Cards and Google Slides

$5.99

One good question and one follow-up, and my class talks for ten minutes. These ESL conversation cards are an ESL speaking activity for beginner to advanced teens and adults: 120 cards in 10 everyday topics, each with a follow-up question, to print or use in Google Slides.

Perfect For

  • ESL, ELL and EFL classes from beginner to advanced: teens and adults, conversation classes, mixed level groups
  • Pair work, speed chatting, inner and outer circle, small groups, or an exit talk at the end of class
  • Warm-ups, speaking tests practice, and lessons where every student needs to talk

How the Cards Work

  1. Pick a topic and a level. Every card shows its level by color and stars, so you can hand out one level only
  2. Partner A reads the card and Partner B answers
  3. Partner A asks the follow-up question on the card, then they swap
  4. The Useful Phrases sheet for each level helps students give opinions, agree, disagree politely and ask for more

Why Teachers Love These Cards

  • A follow-up on every card, so answers turn into real conversations
  • Three levels in one set, sorted by level for printing, so it grows with your class from A1 to C1
  • Nothing childish and nothing school-only, so it works with adults too
  • No prep: print, cut and talk, or project one card at a time

Here is a quick look at the cards:
