This
is a good pre/post-activity that can be easily adapted to nearly any story you
can think of. First of all, you have to divide your class in groups, 2
to 4 depending on the amount of pupils and the way you normally work
with your group. Here you have some tips for that. Once
it is done, choose a phrase which has something to do with the story,
e.g. "Goldilocks was very hungry and she walked into the kitchen". Tell
the phrase to the first person of each group so they can whisper it to
the next. The last student has to say it aloud. If he or she is right,
they would have won the round. After every round, the students who had
received the phrase from the teacher will have to go to the back of
their group, ensuring a proper rotation.
Its
main advantage is that, besides being an amusing game enjoyed both by
children and adults, it can be adapted to any level and background and
therefore it should be challenging and motivating without being
frustrating.
