Repeating

A sentence that goes around the class / group.

Person one says the first word of the sentence

Person two repeats the first word then says the second word

Person three repeats words one and two and adds a third (grammatically correct of course)

and so on around the group until we feel the sentence is finished.

Example in a group of 8

I asked them to do a conditional:

Person 1: If

Person 2: If I

Person 3: If I see

Person 4: If I see you

Person 5: If I see you tomorrow

Person 6: If I see you tomorrow I

Person 7: If I see you tomorrow I will

Person 8: If I see you tomorrow I will give

Person 1: If I see you tomorrow I will give it

Person 2: If I see you tomorrow I will give it to

Person 3: If I see you tomorrow I will give it to you
