Create a good communication activity and describe it to your classmates. Say, which type it, is, according to Littlewood.

The activity I suggest is a game in which the class is divided in two groups. Each group receives a game with their respective pieces and without any instruction. The students should discover what each piece of the game is maiden for and which are the rules of the game. The students will ask and give information and opinion about the rules, they will discuss about the suggestion their classmates are given to the group and they will evaluate those possibilities in order to get the correct rules of the game. They have 50 minutes to discover it. The group that describe correctly the function of each piece of the game and its rules, wins.
I think this activity is a Functional Communicative in which learners must not only share information, but also discuss and evaluate this information in order to solve a problem.
So this activity is Sharing and Processing information from Functional Communicative activities.
