Look around. What can you see?

Write ten sentences and describe objects and people in the room.

Use sentences with (to) be + adjective ("The teacher is nice") and adjective + noun ("Viktoria is a clever girl.").

Find a partner to play this game with.

You say to your partner: "I want to tell you about... a cool boy."

Then your partner says your sentence again and adds another object or person: "I want to tell you about... a cool boy and a crazy weekend."

Then you add one more thing, then your partner and so on.

The game is over when one of you makes a mistake or can't remember the word chain anymore.

Then write down your word chain.

When you play again, don't use the same words / phrases again.

Suche dir einen Partner oder eine Partnerin, um dieses Spiel zu spielen.

Du sagst zu deinem Partner / deiner Partnerin: "I want to tell you about... a cool boy."

Dann wiederholt deine Partner / deine Partnerin deinen Satz und fügt eine weitere Sache oder eine weitere Person hinzu: "I want to tell you about... a cool boy and a crazy weekend."

Dann fügst du wieder etwas hinzu, dann dein Partner / deine Partnerin und immer so weiter.

Das Spiel ist beendet, wenn einer / eine von euch einen Fehler macht oder sich nicht mehr an die Wortkette erinnern kann.
