to stick to verbs, you can just do a quick spelling review with any unit vocabulary you’re teaching.
pass out speaking cards and have students question one of their neighbors or have one student at a time ask his/her question to the class. have more time? do a concentric circles activity where students form two circles, one inside of another. each student will pair up with the partner in front of him/her, then students take turns asking their questions. when both partners have answered, the outside circle moves one partner to the right, and the questions continue.
find tons of speaking cards here!
these are great if you have an entire class period
