Ask 6 STs in turn to supply a word that they think is familiar to all the class. These words are written up on the board in a vertical line e.g. to, remember, fork, plate, blow, hide.
The task of the class (individually or in pairs) is to use all these words in one long sentence e.g., I remember one day seeing a lovely fork at our club's annual dinner when I tried to hide my plate under the table because my neighbour was trying to blow salt all over it.
Points can be given for the best sentences, and they can be deducted for language mistakes e.g., to blow salt.

Put the music on and the STs walk around the room. When it stops, you shout out some instructions and the STs have to act on them. The instructions could be for example: Form groups of 3 / say hello to as many people as possible/ ask everyone what there phone number is/ stand with someone of the same height/ stand with people with the same colour eyes as you/ ask everyone what their hobbies are/ etc....
