Take turns choosing one of the cards below from here or from the cut up pack your teacher gives you to continue a discussion between Saskia (a woman) and Bradley (a man). The question mark cards can be used for any question and the starred cards are jokers and therefore can be used for anything (actions as well as speech). You don’t have to use the question or starred cards.
