About Flyers speaking activities
At Flyers (A2), children can hold a short conversation, ask and answer questions to exchange information and tell a longer story from pictures. They use a wider range of tenses, including the past continuous and going to, and vocabulary from the Flyers word list.
Activities practice the four parts of the Flyers Speaking test: describing differences between two pictures, an information exchange where the child asks and answers questions using prompt cards, telling a story from a sequence of pictures, and answering personal questions. Information-gap worksheets make these tasks ideal for pair work.
Teacher notes include model language and suggested questions. Print or download as a PDF, or share a class link so students can open the worksheet online without an account.
Teaching tips: Flyers speaking activities
- Drill question forms before information-exchange tasks, as forming questions is often harder than answering.
- Ask children to use linkers such as then, after that and in the end when telling picture stories.
- Swap roles in information-gap tasks so every child both asks and answers.
- Encourage children to add a reason or extra detail to personal answers.
