Miranda’s Blog

I love the leisure centre in my town. My whole family goes there and we all have a lot of

fun. There are indoor and outdoor sports facilities, an ice rink, and a swimming pool.

There’s even tenpin bowling! My little sister can’t ice-skate very well, so my mum hires a

penguin skating aid for her. She’s six years old and she looks so sweet holding on to the

little penguin. My mum likes swimming and so do I. At the moment, we are training for a

Swimathon to raise money for charity. We hope to get over £200.

My dad doesn’t like swimming, but he loves tenpin bowling. Sometimes, I have a game

with him. My favourite activity is Tai Chi, and I go to classes on Thursday evenings. I

hope you’ve got a great leisure centre where you are!

to buy souvenirs and some really funny T-shirts.

The best part was the concerts. They were really

Students play in groups of three. Each group gets a set of story start cards. Student A picks up

a story start card and reads it to the group. Then, student A continues the story by adding on a

sentence that contains one verb in the past simple and at least one noun or adjective. After

student A completes their turn, students B and C continue in the same manner. The group has

three minutes to form a complete story. The sentences don't have to make sense (they can be

silly or funny), but they must be grammatically correct. Each correct sentence gets one point. If

a student makes a mistake or cannot continue, one point is deducted and the student loses a

turn. The game ends when the group can no longer continue the story or when the three minutes

are up. The group with the most points wins the game.
