This document provides instructions for several warm-up activities at different levels for language skills like speaking, writing, listening. The activities include an icebreaker where students share two truths and a lie about themselves, a word game where teams make the longest words from a target word, finding adjectives for each letter of a student's name, listing facts about a topic in a time limit, and writing down all sounds heard in two minutes of silence. The activities are designed to be short warm-ups to engage students in using their language skills.
