Telling a story in simple past tense HERE’S a creative speaking game you can play in groups of six. We are going to tell a chain story within each group. You make up a story as you go along. One student will start an introductory phrase. Then, each member takes turns by adding to the story. Here’s the catch: you must create a sentence in your story that uses a verb in the past tense. But which verb do you use? Here’s where it gets exciting! The verbs you can use are printed in these cards below. Each card has three verbs. You only need to use any ONE of the verbs in the card to complete your turn. How to play: Cut out these cards. Mix them up and pile them, face down, one on top of the other. In the first round, everyone picks a card and places his card in front of him, with the words facing upwards for everyone else to see. As the story goes along, create the story but remember, you must use ONE WORD on your card in the past tense. Only then is your turn over and the next group member continues the story. When you have finished, replace the card in the main pile and pick another one. (Note to teacher: Pupils can change the story if the story ends or gets too boring.)
