Phrasal Verbs

I had my last class today and my students were really tired and looking forward to doing papers 1,2,3. (They'd already had papers 4 and 5 and are finishing the exam tomorrow) I considered they'd had enough practice so why not revising phrasals in a funny way?

I asked them to write ten phrasals in separate slips of paper, mixed them and divided the class in two groups. Then, in turns, a member of each group took a slip of paper from a bag, read the phrasal and gave me the definition plus an example. If both were correct, the student was awarded 4 points. After everybody had done this, I made them work in pairs. I gave each pair a fistful of slips (yes! not an exact number) and asked them to write a composition (short story, letter, etc) using at least 7 phrasals. The result was amazing! Their writing was so creative!

I hope you find this idea useful.
