Phase 1

The teacher explains the rules of the creative lesson. The pupils should stand in a circle behind each other and close their eyes. The teacher puts a coloured sheet with the written words on the back of each child. Each pupil should read aloud the noun from the back of the child in front of them. They have to say an appropriate adjective whish agrees with the noun in gender and number.

There will be two spins in the circle.

 Phase 2

First spin

The pupils are standing in a circle behind each other. The teacher is choosing the child which will begin the creative activity. The pupil is reading aloud the noun on the back of the child in front of him/her. The pupil   who is in has to say an appropriate adjective, agreeing in gender and number with it.

The game continues until all the adjectives from the children’s backs are read.

Phase 3

Reverse circle rotation.

This time, the pupil who was the last to read out a noun, starts first by reading the adjective from the child’s sheet in front of him/her. The pupil   who is in front of him/her has to say a suitable noun which agrees in gender and number with the adjective read.

The game can be made more complicated, depending on the ability of the pupils.

Phase 4

The teacher tells the pupils to close their eyes and put their hands on the shoulders of the children in front of them. They should make a nice massage to each other without opening their eyes.

The teacher tells the children to open their eyes and look at each other in the circle.
