This public speaking game is a great tool for an English or Speech classroom to encourage listening and speaking in response, creativity, fluency, and more! Get your students' creative juices flowing! For ELA classroom, this can meet speaking/listening standards. For my Public Speaking classroom, I use this to get additional practice speaking in front of the class. It has made them a lot more comfortable and fluid in their speaking styles.

Once your students catch on, you can take it up a notch and have the student take turns creating ONE continuous story! More specifics are included when you download the .zip file. Everything downloaded is copyrighted and can be used for educational purposes. The download includes a PowerPoint presentation and an instructions guide.
