Try using a deck of cards and pulling 1 of each card so that you have only 3 of
each, then have the students pull a random card, no peaking; once all have a
card, find parejas sin hablar

Subject: [ola] Partner changing question
Hi all,
I've been having this partner speaking problem. I have certain classes where
it's a bad idea for me to join in the partner speaking activities as I can't
circulate and keep kids on task or redirect them. So when I'm pairing them
off, I'll make a group of three with the last three students for lots of the
prompts. I really struggle with having that group of three change partners
after they've finished. All of my transitions with partners involve partners
and not trios...Does anyone have an idea for how I can get that one group of
three to different partners? Preferably so none of the original three are part
of another group of three? Meaning there is another group of three elsewhere?
Hope this makes sense. I'm having a slow day...
Thanks,
Colin Oriard
