famous game on English radio.

on a subject. You cannot stop, make a mistake
or talk about a different subject.
Just A Minute
• To start, we will show the first subject. In your
group, you will have 2 minutes to make some
NOTES.
• Then, we will roll a dice to choose a group to
speak first.
• Next, Then, we will roll a dice to choose a
student. The chosen student has to try to speak
for one minute on that subject.

by raising your hand and shouting “challenge”.

the subject.
