RULES OF THE GAME: Students are divided into two groups and each group sits

students will have to draw it on the back of their partner in front, who in turn will
do the same to the student in front of them and so on until they reach the first

student in the group using the picture and the word in the square,
e.g. Marco, I think you go swimming.

the ladder if they make a grammatically correct sentence. If they
arrive on a square with a snake’s head, they go down the snake.

II. WORKSHEETS

 Worksheet 1 for the student: Animals I

  Worksheet 2 for the student: Animals II

III. FUN ACTIVITY:

 MADLIBS

Students must fill in the blanks of a storyline. The crazier the better.

This can turn out to be a hilarious activity, especially if the group is fun and
creative. A Mad Lib is a funny, often ridiculous story created when you fill
in the blanks with the part of speech that is requested. Mad Libs are a fun
way to teach the parts of speech and grammar, develop their creativity and
engage them in using and understanding the language. This one is similar to
a Bedtime Story, which will turn into a funny fairy tale.
