Instructions:

Put students into pairs or groups of three. Tell them they must sound out the sentences, and then do the
action. Cut the sentences into strips. Give each pair the first one - they don’t get another strip until they
have completed the previous one. The first to complete correctly are the winners! (To make your own you
can download Photransedit or similar. I often do challenges that take the students on a ramble out of the
classroom, which they really enjoy.)

Key:

Stand up

Turn around two times

Clap your hands once

Walk to the whiteboard

Turn around and say ‘hello teacher’

Return to your seats

Well done
