Help your ELL newcomers start speaking with confidence using this Valentine's Day ESL Speaking Warmup Activity! These fun, Valentine’s-themed (but NOT mushy) Would You Rather questions are perfect for ESL warm-ups, bell-ringers, and quick February conversation practice. Each slide includes two clear choices, real photos, and a sentence starter to support beginner and intermediate learners.
This February/Valentine's Day-themed ESL activity helps students build vocabulary, practice complete sentences, and share simple opinions in a low-stress way. It’s ideal for newcomer ESL classes, small groups, stations, or any daily warm-up routine in February.
This is an easy win for warm-ups, bell-ringers, partner conversations, stations, or quick speaking routines after winter break. The topics are beginner-friendly (boots, frost, penguin, fireplace, scarf, icicle, etc.) so students can participate right away even if they’re brand-new to English.
These Would You Rather questions focus on fun, school-appropriate February topics such as chocolate, candy, cards, winter treats, parties, inside vs. outside fun, and more.
You can use this with the whole class, in pairs, or during a speaking rotation. It also works well as a quick writing response: “I would rather ___ because ___.”
