With my after school classes, I'm also supposed to focus on speaking/conversation activities. I often try to make games or activities that require students to work with a partner (rather than always with a large group where a kid can opt to not participate or speak at all). Some examples of good speaking activities include: information gap activities, surveys, charades, dice games, snakes and ladders, tic-tac-toe, and the flick-the-coin game. I have a ticket system in my class where I draw for prizes every month or so, and if they don't use English during the games, they don't get a ticket!

Some small group activities I frequently use are: go fish, whisper games, and PPT games (Mario, Blockbusters, BAAM, etc).

Once I've chosen the books we'll use (currently I'm using the "Gogo Loves English" series), I just modify all of my activities for each topic. I usually start each lesson off with whole class review and rote memorization, until I feel that they're capable of using the language on their own. I also use phonics books to supplement my after school classes which have some short sentences after each chapter (I've used the Phonics Star series in the past, and am now using the Sounds Fun! series). We practice saying the sentences together as a class, I have each student read one sentence aloud so I can correct any common errors, and they practice at home using the CD Roms. I give them individual speaking tests every month or so.

Attached are some examples of the various activities I've mentioned. Hope this helps! ^^

I teach a speaking class after school with students from grade 3 to 6 in it.  I don't have any curriculum or textbook and the levels of the students is really varied, as you'd imagine.  Each week I try to teach a topic that I think is interesting enough to hold the attention of the students, otherwise it turns into chaos.  Here is a list of topics that I've covered.  If you're curious about what I did for a particular lesson, I can share   

I'd like to hear what other people in a similar situation have been doing.  Coming up with lessons that are easy enough that the 3rd graders understand but hard enough that the 6th graders don't get bored is a challenge.


Greetings / Feelings – How are you?
Nationality – Where are you from?
Sports – What do you like playing?
Hobbies – What do you like doing?
Occupations – What do you want to be?
Foods, drinks, vegetables, fruits – What do you like? What do you want to eat?
Toy Story 3 – listening comprehension / critical listening
Adjectives – You are very smart / brave / kind / etc. 
April Fools Day + Review
Animals
Insects (students had to guess whether the animal was an insect or not)
Important English Part 1 - survival and classroom English
How to Train Your Dragon – listening comprehension / critical listening
Wants – I want to (eat, play, etc.)
Next week, last week + action verbs (past, present, future)

You might have covered this in your nationality class, but an idea I used was comparing my country, its customs, geography, food etc, to Korea. My students love to tell me about their country so it was a great way to get them talking.

I used and modified some of the already uploaded materials here and also added additional materials.

Hope you can use it!

1. Introduction class: All about yourself, what you like and what your friends like.
2. Real or fake ppt (modified) and a bomb game.
3. Stranded on an island lesson ppt (modified)
4. Form a rockband ppt (modified)

I have just started an after school advanced English class for the strongest grade 5s and grade 6s.

Attached is what I have done so far.

There are two intro/ about me exercise options.

It may seem like a lot of writing but I get them to write everything out first and then read it out/present to the class. This is just to get them feeling comfy and will come to an end soon (I'm hoping for tons of free speech by next week)
For the Mr Bean activity, show them this clip before you hand them the answer sheet.


The inventions project is spread over tweo lessons.

Please continue sharing your resources.

Thanks a mil :)

Updated new activity:

Who? What? Where?- card game from  https://en.islcollective.com/resources/printables/worksheets_doc_docx/clue_cluedo_for_kids/elementary-a1-activity/43063
I found a great activity that I borrowed from another website, not sure if I should post a link (Mods let me know if it is problem). It is a clue like game using people, food, and rooms in a house. The inquiry sentence is, "I think _____ is eating ______ in the ________."  I played it today and the students were into it and said it was fun. Possible for variations in the sentences or items.  I did make a little home map to help illustrate the rooms for the students.
