I PACKED MY BAG FOR ALASKA

I PACKED MY BACK FOR ALASKA

Begin the game by modeling the example sentence. “I packed my bag for Alaska and in my bag I put an apple.” 

The first student then repeats the model sentence and adds the name of the object that begins with the letter B. For example “I packed my bag for Alaska and in my bag I put and apple and a book.” 

The game is continued around the classroom with each student in turn repeating what has been said before and adding the name of a new object which begins with the next letter of the alphabet. 

Students should be encouraged to use their imaginations as the more ridiculous the objects, the more fun the game. 

To make this game more challenging to advanced classes, you might ask the students to provide an adjective before each object, such as, a beautiful book, a clean coat, a dirty dress, etc.

If you have a large group of students, you can divide them into smaller groups.  This will give students the opportunity to participate more often.

If you want to practice something other than vocabulary, you can set a time limit:  If a student takes longer than 5 seconds to add a word or makes a mistake in repeating the objects that have already been said, he can be asked a question related to the subject you're teaching.
