Oh, give me a break! (after the break)

'Surprise-me' bag
This activity is really easy to prepare and allows students to practice storytelling as well as revise vocabulary from previous classes or learn new words.
We need:
  • a paper bag or a tote bag;
  • small objects that fit in the bag (the numer of them should equal the number of students).
The aim of this activity is to tell a story using past tense. The teacher starts with the introductory sentences and then students have to continue the story. First, a student chooses an object, and then he or she uses this object in a sentence. One sentence should logically lead to the next (revision of time adverbs).
This activity is good for visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners.

*If you want to introduce new words during this activity, remember to write them on the blackboard and pronunce before students use them in their sentences.
