You can also play Sell Me the Product by randomly associating an adjective and a name, so that you end up selling a surprise insurance contract, or musical suspenders... More difficult but hilarious. The association adjective + name can be imposed, or the students can choose them from short or longer lists.

Love the ideas. Thank you! Do you think lower level students are able to handle these activities?

Another great video of yours, Martin, thank you ! There is a book I like using to find inspiration for speaking activities : ESL Role Plays - 50 Engaging Role Plays for ESL and EFL Classes, by Larry Pitts. It provides lists of interesting questions to prompt a debate on a variety of topics, as well as engaging role plays with clever arguments to defend each point of view. (Do I have to precise that I don't know the author and won't perceive any money for recommending it?)
