As you go through the Genki English curriculum, linking together sentences is one thing to always keep in mind. For example there is the and….but song or the pink fish game.
One idea from Yoko last week for older students was using “found” …
1. Give each kid a piece of paper with either “Who?”, “When?”, “What?” or “Where?” written on it.
2. Each kid writes down something for their particular word e.g. Lady Gaga for “who” or “on my birthday” for “when” etc. etc.
3. Then call one kid from each group to the front to make a sentence with “found” i.e.
{When?} + {Who?} + found + {What?} + {Where?}
e.g. On Christmas eve Robin Hood found my ipad in an Icelandic volcano.
Well… the kids come up with much, much crazier things than that and everyone has a good laugh!

I was thinking it would be neat to have a song with the wh- question words…
