Activity 2 - Verbal story game

Instructions:
Close your eyes and pick a random piece of paper out of the hat. Create your very own short story based on the word written on the paper. Be as imaginative as you like!

First we'll brainstorm some ideas on the board to help you.

Things to think about:

• What kind of character/s are you going to choose?
• Is your story going to be funny, sad, happy...?
• Will it have a happy or a sad ending?
