Game 1

Then the student will have to tell a brief story or situation in which these words are used.
Examples:
- ‘NICE TO MEET YOU’ Susy says to everybody she has never seen before.
- Always Susy tries to be KIND
- Susy is a kind person but sometimes she can HURT you very easily.
- I think she is very ANGRY since her friend died.
Game 2
Following with the same procedure as in Game 1 but, in this case, with the participation of all students in the class.
In a circle, once the first student has finished with his/her part of the story, the second student throws the dice and continues with a new scene of the same story. By adding a new episode, the student will have to connect his/her ideas with the ones told by the previous student.
Examples:
1st student
- ‘NICE TO MEET YOU’ Susy says to everybody she has never seen before.
- Always Susy tries to be KIND
- Susy is a kind person but sometimes she can HURT you very easily.
- I think she is very ANGRY since her friend died.
2 nd student
- EXCUSE ME, do you know the name of her friend?
- I realized she was very SENSITIVE but I had no idea about her friend.
- I RECOGNIZE I didn’t talk to her on the past couple days.
- However, I’m SURPRISED nobody have told me.
Contents, verb tenses, structures and levels will be set by the teacher.
This way, all students will be able to create stories and /or refer to real circumstances that could be shared by everybody in the class.
*Other ideas: the teacher asks questions such as “Have you ever felt / Do you ever feel this way? Would you like to share what happened? Can we make suggestions to deal with situations like these?
