 Play in teams. The teacher gives each team a story starter card and a list of ten
verbs and adjectives. Each student uses one of the verbs (in the past continuous or
past simple tense) or adjectives to continue the story by creating a new sentence.
Each student takes a turn creating a new sentence. Students cannot use the same
word twice, and each word that is used must be crossed off the list. Students
continue to make sentences until all the words are used. Sentences must be
grammatically correct, and students get one point for each correct sentence they
make. At the end, each team adds up their points, and the team with the most
points wins.
