Guess the Story

Guess the Story

Procedure :

• Give the class two or three sentences taken from the story or folk tale. After that, ask them to guess the title of the story. For example :
• “Finally, she went to a party and she could dance with the prince. Unfortunetly she remembered that she must be back before 12 midnight.” (Answer : Cinderella)
• “At the end of the story this would doll with his long nose lived happily together with his father and he became a very good boy.” (Answer : Pinocchio)

• The class can directly guess the story if it is very clear, or let them ask “yes/no” questions to try to discover the target story.
• If necessary, a time or a maximum number of questions can be set before the class attempts to recreate the story for themselves, which they do orally.

Variation :


You can do this game in silence with students taking turns writing questions on the white board.
