Procedure (107-120 minutes)
Communication and Action. Everyone goes out. The students form a circle holding hands. Teacher will be the guide and will give directions to the students. Students need to listen carefully to the teacher's indications, and need to follow them as a group. Some rounds will be doing the opposite the teacher says.
Explain rules: -Teacher tosses the ball to a student and reads a prompt. -Student answers quickly (10 seconds). -Student tosses ball to another student for the next prompt. -If incorrect, student can "phone a friend" once (team support). -Use 3 rounds (approx. 12 minutes each) + quick point tally. Round A - Reported Speech Statements -Teacher reads a direct sentence; student reports it. Round B - Reported Questions/Requests -Teacher reads a direct question/request; student reports it. Round C - Question Tags -Teacher says a statement; student adds the correct tag.
