Students play in small groups. Each group has a Snakes and Ladders board. Each student in the
group rolls the dice and moves their counter the same number of squares that the dice shows.
If they land on a square with a task, they must complete the task correctly. If their sentence is
not correct, they miss a turn. If the square has a ladder the student can ‘go up’ the ladder. If a
student lands on a square with the head of a snake they must ‘go down’ the snake. The winner
is the student who reaches the FINISH square first, by landing on it with an exact roll.

Play in teams. The teacher gives each team a story starter and a list of ten verbs, adjectives
and adverbs. Each student uses one of the verbs (in the past simple or past continuous tense),
adjectives or adverbs to continue the story by creating a new sentence. Students have a minute
each to form their sentence and cannot use a word from the list that has already been used.
Students continue to make sentences until all of the words are used. Each grammatically
correct sentence is worth one point. If a student makes a mistake or cannot continue, one
4
point is deducted and the student loses a turn. The team with the most points wins.
Sample story starters:

GAME

Students play in pairs or groups of three. Each pair or group gets a set of story cards. Student
A turns over a story start card and reads it to the group/pair. Then, student A continues the
story by adding on a sentence that contains one verb (in the past simple or present perfect)
and at least one noun or adjective. After student A completes their turn, the other students
continue in the same manner. The sentences have to be grammatically correct. Each correct
sentence gets one point. If a student makes a mistake, or cannot continue, one point is
5
deducted and the student loses a turn. The game ends when the group can no longer continue
the story. The group with the most points at the end wins the game.
Sample Story Start Cards:
