A gambit is a word or phrase which helps one express what he or she is trying to say. The over 60 activities in this book divide gambits into three sections: Opening Gambits, Linking Gambits, and Responding Gambits. Each gambit lesson ranges in length from 10-30 minutes and is a great supplement for language courses! Gambits include: saying 'no' tactfully, demanding explanations, listing excuses, I haven't a clue!, and more!
