Level 4 - Intermediate

Levels Name of the game Approximate time Level 4+ Silly Stories About 5-10 Begin the story with the first half of a sentence . Then ask the class (in turns or in pairs) to think of a continuation, e.g. T: I saw a horse sitting.... ST: In the kitchen. T: It was eating ... ST: A piece of cake T: So I said.... ST: etc.... Level 4+ Brainstorming About 10 The class is divided into groups. Each group receives the same task. Possible tasks are: (a) How many possible uses can you find for a paper clip/plastic bag/ wooden coat hanger/ teacup/ pencil/ sheets of typing paper matchbox...? (b) You have to make an important phone call but you have no change. How many ways can you find of getting the money for the call? (c) How many ways can you find of opening a wine bottle without a corkscrew? (d) How many ways can you find of having a cheap holiday? They have a few minutes only, in which the group secretary writes down all the ideas given without discrimination. Each group reads out their ideas and you note them down on the board. The class then chooses the 5 best (according to either practically or originality) and ranks them.
