Games: cut – up sentences
- divide Ss into four groups.
- cut up four sentences into 5 phrases and
shuffle the pieces on the table in four
positions for the four groups.
- students from each group take turn to
go to front, and answer your question by
writing it on a sheet of paper. With a

correct answer, the student is allowed to
pick a piece of paper and take it back to
his group. If St can’t answer it, her
returns and another St in the group
replaces him, etc. continue until the
groups get all the pieces of paper.
- Tell the Ss in the groups to put the
phrases together to make a meaningful
sentence, and then write it down on the
board.

Laura,
Thanks a million for
lending me your gorgeous
leather jacket. Just what I
needed for the party. I’m
worn it lots of times
already. You saved my life!
Anyway here it is, safely
returned. I hope you won’t
mind. I’m giving it to your

great weekend, and hope I
can do the same for you
some time!
Love and kisses
