 Purchase two mannequin heads at a craft store (Michaels or Joanns) and use them for dialogs. Ask students to stand behind the heads and have a discussion on any topic you choose. This works in the same way as puppets or masks in that the student talks through another, making it easier for the speaker to feel that he/she is not the focus.
Heads can be decorated with hats or jewelry. They can be used and dressed up in costumes of other countries if different cultures are being discussed, or in historical garb if history is the focus. Jokes, stories and drama situations are suited to this prop.

When I was still a kid, I used to think that mannequins are moving at night, when there is no one watching them and they will just do their thing. We might be unaware of it, but mannequins have a lot of function, especially in fashion industry. It's being used as a model of both affordable and expensive items, we see in the malls, boutiques, and different shops across the world. That's the reason why the demand on this is also high!
