Prepare role cards: on role cards, individual persons (game roles) are described. They can contain information like: Name and occupation, age, marital status, children, etc.; Information on the context of the role (professional situation); Information about views and opinions etc. Prepare the classroom: Let learners sit in a circle with no tables instead of sitting at individual tables. This supports a vivid discussion after each round of action. Also, it helps to rearrange the classroom for group work or action phase quickly. Prepare students: for some games, it is useful to let learners write on metaplan cards. In this case, briefly introduce learners to how to use metaplan cards and use them as a moderation and discussion technique during the entire lesson. Main rules for writing on metaplan cards:  Write one idea per card,  Use entire space on the card  Write max. 3 lines per card  No capital letters Note : Some learners are not familiar with games as a teaching technique.
