Variation 3: Play the music. The students write the story they
imagine. Invite the students to read their descriptions to each other.

concentrate better as a result.

My neighbour's cat

Review of adjectives.

Procedure: Draw a cat on the board

Introduce it as your neighbour's cat. Say, 'My neighbour's cat
is an awful cat!' Write the word 'awful' on the board. Write all the
letters of the alphabet under the a of awful. Say, 'What can you say
about your neighbour's cat?' Tell the students that they can offer
ideas in any order they like. As the ideas are suggested, write in
the adjectives next to the appropriate letters.
You: My neighbour's cat is an awful cat.
Student A: My neighbour's cat is a wonderful cat.
Student B: My neighbour's cat is a quiet cat.
Student C: My neighbour's cat is a beautiful cat. etc.

Note: Encourage the students to play with the adjectives; allow
some 'poetic licence'. For example, we would not normally say
'guilty cat', but it is possible and it is amusing. If the students like
the activity, you might use it to add new adjectives to their
repertoire. Tell the students to use a dictionary.
