GAME: LIPLESS Conversation

You can really use any kind of subject for this game. It's a good way to get them all talking to each other in small groups with little or no interference from the teacher.
I used Lipless Conversation when we were learning feelings and "How are you?"
Therefore, I will use that for my example.

Students tuck in their lips and speak. S1 says to S2: "How are you?"
S2 to S1: "I am happy/sad/thirsty...etc...etc"
If either student shows their teeth or laughs (or, as h happens in Korean classrooms, covers their face), then the student is out and must sit down.

It goes around the circle like this until only one student is standing.
If there's time and you're feeling ambitious, make the winner from each group come to the stage to challenge each other for the title in the classroom. Reward accordingly!
