THE MYSTERIOUS BAG

OF WORDS
Print and laminate all cards
Cut them up
Put them all in a bag
Tell ss they'll have to improvise a story
The teacher can demonstrate the activity by starting
telling this story:

Karin opened her bedroom door and...
Tell one student to put their hand in the bag and take out
a card and continue the story including the word in a
short sentence.
Then another student, then another and so on...
This activity does not focus on accuracy but fluency
therefore it must be played quite quickly.
It can last as long as you want (all lesson or it can be a
timed activity and ss must start and finish a story within
a certain time)
According to SS' level you may want to preteach some
vocabulary (verbs, connectors, nouns)
It can be fun to record the stories and use them to get ss
correct their mistakes
