Answer 1

What activties have you done? What level are your students. You've got to work with what they know and build on it. I've done these:
-Try simulating bank transactions (deposits, withdrawals, transfer, credit card info, etc.). Have some play the "teller/bank clerk" and others are clients.
-Set a tv/radio talk show. Several interviewers and interviewees.
-Set up a travel agency with clerks and clients.
-Simulate a cooking show.
-Do a department store. Some students are salespeople and others are cutomers. Give the "customers" items to look for and ask help from the salesperson.
-Simulate checking into /out of a hotel, or any other hotel situation.
-Set up a tourist information centre.
-If you've got access to fake phones, get them to call: the operator; a hotel or a restaurant to set up a reservation; a restaurant to order delivery or take out; a florist to order flowers for a certain occasion.

I try to use situations where students need to use real language. You need to prepare these well in advance. You can prepare scripts or have them ad lib - ad libbing is better because they have to use what they know and not rely on a script. Use your discretion.

Answer 2

Order the book "Discussions: A to Z" from Amazon. You won't regret it.
