Ghosts
INTRO This is a communicative game for reviewing past tense.
STEP 1 Draw the above stick figures on the whiteboard. Each team has 3 lives.
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", the third team "Then" , the first "After that" and and the second "Finally", 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 alive is
the winner.
Example round:
First, he got out of bed.
Next, he brushed his teeth.
Then, he went for a run.
After that, he had a shower.
Finally, he ate breakfast.
