You can do this activity before you share the importance of listening with your students. Make the students sit in a circle. Pick up any student to start the game. You can go clockwise or anticlockwise. The student has to introduce himself by telling his name and a beverage which he likes very much.

Just to give you an example, A student can start by saying, My name is John and I like tea. The person sitting next to him, says, John likes tea. My name is David and I like coffee. Ensure that students who speak first are not allowed to escape.....!!!!!!!!!!!

Once you finish your inputs on the importance of listening skills, you can do this activity.

Put students into pairs. It is natural for students to be part of a group. Ensure that you break the group and get them to sit with students, with whom they do not mingle. Give the whole class around five minutes to discuss. Each pair should get to know as much information as possible about his partner. You can keep the parameters open or you can ask them to talk about their family, hobbies, likes, dislikes, role model, favorite place, favorite dish, favorite colour and so on. Stop the discussion after five minutes. Pick up students randomly and ask them to introduce their partner.

Again for your understanding, one student comes out, stands before the class, and says, My name is Jack and I have the pleasure of introducing my friend Henry to all of you. He has to remember whatever his partner has mentioned about himself.

For both the activities make it clear before the start of the activity, that students are not allowed to note down anything on paper.
