WORD SNAKE REMEMBERING THE STORY

Teacher says a word. Next student says a word
that begins with the last letter of the word (for
example, “apple” “elephant” “table”). Go from
one student to the next. If they get it wrong they
have to sit down. Keep going until there’s one
winner. Optional: Students have 5 seconds to
say a word.
Someone starts with only one sentence of a
story. For example, “Once there was a boy”. The
next person will repeat that sentence and add
something to it. For example, “Once there was a
boy whose name was John”. Each person must
remember the story, repeat it and then add
something to the story.
