Line up desk or tables so that students can sit across from each other in a long line. Have one student select a card with a topic for discussion on it. Each student-pair has 5 mins to discuss the topic. Then a bell rings and one side of the line shifts one spot down so that every student has a new partner. As a group, ask students to share some of the things that came up in their pair. Next let another student choose a second topic card and start the process over again. There is a lot of flexibility in the type of topics that could be chosen and a lot of potential for language learning to take place. To make it more fun, try having students make a note about which brain they'd most likely take out on a second "discussion date." :)
