Introduction
(Motivation)
Travel Show and Tell! (This involves some initial
planning.)
Show and Tell is a simple public speaking activity used at
various levels of education:
1. Students bring in a small item that can fit into their
bag and is school
appropriate.
2. Each student who has an item, one by one, comes to the
front of the class and
talks about that item for at least 45
seconds.
3. Participation is
voluntary.
4. There is no grade given.
Let students know about a week ahead of time that they can
bring in an item that they
would like to talk about. Let them know this will be
“Travel Show and Tell,” with an
emphasis on travel. This item should be from their home
country or a place they have
recently visited. Let students take a few moments to get
together their thoughts on
what they would like to say about their item. Give them
some guidance on what they
should talk about in their 45
seconds:
• Where is your item from?
• Do you think people would like to visit where you got that
item? Why?
If time allows after the show and tell, ask students in
pairs to decide on the three places
they would go based on what they’ve heard and why. Have
pairs share this information
with the class.
• Play the video for the Ss to watch and elicit their
comments at the end.

and was established in 1824. It has a population of over 2 million
