A simple activity to try is to print out flash cards for the astrological signs. Then print out the "advice" from one of the many offered in papers or magazines. Ask the students what is their birthdate, then give each the appropriate "Advice" printed out. Ask them to read it aloud and make comments. This is suitable for small groups.

Hello , It's good to start with an activity ,the most important thing is that you can give the students a chance to read and talk .Thanks .

I do the same activity with my students. But as a second stage, I give them brief descriptions of the character profile of each sun sign and have them in groups sit according to their own sun sign. The discussion that follows deals with areas of similarities and differences in personality traits among members of the same sign, even differences between genders falling under the same sign. It is amazing that students are very interestered in this area and that they have a lot to talk about. This discussion also generates a lot of vocabulary items, adjectives describing personlaity traits for example. Rania
