Conversation Cards for Making Suggestions

(TESOL Worksheet--Suggestions, Speaking)
Google: docs, pub
[This takes place in two rounds.  In the first round, students are given a card with their likes and dislikes already written.  In the second round, they are given a blank card, and must write their likes and dislikes themselvess.
In both cases, the game play is the same.  They mingle around the room, talking to other students, and trying to agree on a mutually acceptable activity.
I use this as a freer practice after doing the "Conversation script for Would you like to..? Lets... How about...?"
