Based on conflict and crisis settings, I would like to use the “True or Dare” game as a warm-up activity. In this game, we use a ball or a pen and play music. Students pass the ball or pen to each other while the music is playing. When the music stops, the student holding the object has to choose “True” or “Dare.” If the student chooses “True,” they must answer a question honestly from their peers. If they choose “Dare,” they will be asked to do a fun activity by their classmates.
I would use this activity in the morning before the class starts. The advantages of this game are that it improves speaking skills, helps students get to know each other, and warms up their mood. For example, when students ask questions like “What is your favorite hobby?”, they learn more about their friends’ feelings and interests and can build stronger friendships.
This activity not only practices speaking but also listening. In the morning, students may feel sleepy or not in a good mood. This game helps them become more active, refreshed, and ready to learn for the whole day. It also has a positive effect on the teacher, as they can see their students learning actively and engaging in the lesson after the warm-up.
In addition, I would use affordable materials, such as a simple ball or pen, so that all students can participate equally without needing ready-made resources.
