Word Power Talk – One-Minute Vocabulary Speaking Game

Word Power Talk is a competitive one-minute conversation game designed to get students speaking fluently while actively using target vocabulary. Students talk about a topic or question for one minute, while their classmates listen and track key words used.

The game encourages spontaneous speaking, paraphrasing, and strategic word choice, making it ideal for pre-intermediate, intermediate, and upper-intermediate learners. A follow-up round allows the speaker to see the words, helping students improve accuracy and expand their responses.

This low-prep activity works well as a speaking warmer, review game, or fluency challenge and is perfect for whole-class or team competitions.
