Ghosts
INTRO This is a communicative game for reviewing past tense.
STEP 1 Draw the above on the whiteboard.
STEP 2 Divide the class into teams. Brainstorm past tense verbs (get a lot). Explain the rules on the right. Model the exercise. The idea is that the first team
starts with the word "First", the second team "Next" and so on, making past tense
sentences. Every time you come round to "First" the story can start in a new
situation.
STEP 3 The teams that lose three lives die and become ghosts. The last team is
the winner.
