Chain story

Narration: use of the past tense.

Procedure:
Begin telling a story. This can be the first few lines of a story
from your course book, or improvised, or you can invite a student
to start. Then, going round the class, each student has to add
another brief 'instalment' to the story.

Variation:
Before you start, ask each student to choose a word. It can be
an item of vocabulary recently learnt, a verb in the past tense, or
freely chosen. Then each 'instalment' has to include the word the
student has chosen.

Compare yourselves

Getting to know each other; use of comparatives.
