I have taught the first 3 stories already and the children loved it. They loved it so much that they memorised all the lines. I did not ask them to memorise the lines, it was their idea and you know how hard it is to make a little kid memorise the lines you want him to. I really like the way you make the sentences for the stories, in form of patterns. It is the best way for the international students to learn English. And the students not only memorised the patterns but they remembered them well even weeks later.

The goal of the game is for students to one at a time stand up and say a number, but if two students stand up at the same time, then they are out. If playing virtually students just shout out the number versus standing up.
To play, choose a number to count up to. Instruct students that one student must stand up and say the number 1.
