Reading can be quite boring and very teacher-centred, as monitoring is necessary. However, it is important to allow students to do it on their own, otherwise they grow very dependent on the teacher and never learn how capable they are by themselves. Card games are a wonderful way to incorporate reading practice into literacy lessons, especially for secondary-level learners. Find out more about different card games you can use by reading Zahra Zuhair's post,'Card games for Literacy (A0)'.

'Change place, change face' is an activity that gives students maximum speaking time and helps develop fluency. The slightly 'unusual' classroom set-up seems to encourage students to speak, producing a healthy buzz and fostering a positive learning environment. It can be a good option for classes with shy students, or groups who have become bored with traditional pair-work activities. Requiring only minimum preparation and just a little moving around of furniture, this activity can be used with learners at all levels.
