Here is an idea for a simple idea that can be used as a speaking or writing activity. Moreover, it`s a great opportunity to break the ice and promote some interaction in class.

Level: intermediate or upper 
Skills: speaking or writing
Materials needed: none

Instructions:

Ask students to think of a word that  best represents their last weekend. Have students write the word on their notebook or just say it out loud. Students sit in groups or pair up with a classmate and explain why they picked that word.

Variations: 
a)Students can think of words that best represent their : day, last vacation,mother,personality, work, country,etc.
b)Instead of sitting in groups to talk about their words, students can write a short paragraph.
