TEARABLE SENTENCES (GRAMMAR GAMES)

Students generally love this game to revise grammar. 

It is called "tearable sentences", which is a running activity in which you divide the class into mixed ability teams. 

Each team has a series of sentences displayed in the same way, as when there's some kind of advert and people tear the phone number to get in contact with the company. 

In this case, each sentence has a mistake students should correct. There's only a"runner"per group who brings the sentence to their mates and back to the teacher. The ideal scenario is that the runner changes each time one member of the group needs to stand up and run, so that everybody has a go.

 Only when the sentence is properly corrected ,they can move on and tear the second sentence. The first group to have all the sentences corrected, wins. 

So to sum up, the runner takes the sentence to the group, they correct the mistake, the runner gives it to the teacher, who decides if it's well corrected or not. If it's wrong, the runner goes back to the group and they try to correct it again, they can't tear the next sentence until they get "the OK". I will share one example with you, which is fully editable. In this case I wrote sentences taken from the book we were reading in class (The Elephant Man) and indicated the number of mistakes they had to correct in each case.
