Circle
Story
The class create stories word by word. You can begin by saying:
"One Monday morning I was" or whatever beginning you like. Then
go round the class in a circle [not randomly]. The first pupil must
repeat "One Monday morning I was" and then add a single word
that makes sense and fits in grammatically. The second pupil
repeats all the first pupil has said, adding one more word. The
third pupil repeats all and adds a word, and so on, until a story
develops around the class.
This technique can be fun, requires no preparation and focuses on
the accurate use of language. It can make a good warmer. With a
small class it's possible to go round the class twice. The teacher
can choose whether the story is to be told in present tense [if they
are beginners] or used to practice the simple past tense, or with
no restrictions on the language used.
