“Therapy Session” is a fun speaking warm-up game where students become therapists for famous cartoon and movie characters. Each of the 20 characters has a short description of their “problem,” and students must give advice or emotional support in English.
This creative activity helps learners practise speaking, use emotional and advice-giving vocabulary, and think creatively. Suitable for A2–B2 levels and perfect for warm-ups, speaking clubs, or themed lessons.
