Level:Any
Skill: Listening and Speaking
Material needed: set of cards with words.

Instructions:
In this activity, students are going to create a story together. The teacher should start it by picking up a card from the pile. The word in each card should dictate the path of the story and its protagonist. (ex: if someone picks a card with the word "romantic", then the protagonist should do something romantic or something romantic should somehow take place as the story is being told). Students keep telling the story until everyone has had a chance to pick a card and contribute to the narrative. The last student to pick a card should finish the story.

Suggestions of words:
exciting
depressing
sad
expensive
heroic
fantastic
romantic
cheap
dramatic
funny
happy
boring
weird
unbelievable
surprising
