A fun role-play activity to introduce A-level Language students to the Grice's cooperative principle and the four maxims (quantity, quality, relation/relevance and manner). Includes teaching notes on how to run the activity and two worksheets for students working in pairs to use with conversation prompts and space for note-taking so students can consider which maxim has been broken and why.
