I teach English to a 15 year old boy. I'm looking for ideas on speaking activities that involve two people only. I can hardly find anything interesting which would suit such a small class.
Your help would be invaluable!
a. you could talk about the news. Comment on them, etc. Chit chat.
b. you could play Chain Story. Have a pile of cards with recently learned vocabulary items written on one side of them. Have the cards facing downwards. Each player chooses a card by chance and has to start a story with a sentence that includes the chosen word. Each player has to continue the story that the previous one started. You will end up with a short story that you could actually write down later as a writing exercise.
hope this helps.

Perhaps you could try simple board games such as Sorry or Yahtzee.
remember Paris
You could do a picture series with him (take a comic strip and white out the words) and make him re-tell the story in his own words or make up a story about what is happening in the pictures.
You could have him and you read a current events article in a magazine he likes or newspaper with a controversial topic and then discuss with him.
