Activity
Pairwork. Students narrate a picture story trying to use as
many time adverbials as possible.
Focus
Time adverbials.
Preparation
Photocopy one worksheet for each student.
Procedure
• Explain that students are going to tell a story from pictures
using as many time adverbials as they can.
• Divide the class into pairs. Hand out one worksheet to
each student.
• Ask students to look at both stories for a few minutes.
Each student then tells their partner how many time
adverbials (from the box at the top of the worksheet) they
think they can correctly use while telling story A. (The
same adverbial used twice counts as two adverbials.)
• The student who bids the highest number wins and tries
to tell the story using the number of adverbials they said.
Their partner keeps a count of the number of adverbials
used. Tell students to tell the story as if it happened to
them, i.e. using I. Encourage students to embellish their
stories, inventing extra details and ideas where possible.
• When they have finished, the other student now tells story
B, trying to use more adverbials than their partner used in
story A.
