Last Man Standing

Speaking activity for practicing reduced relative clause (noun + past participle)

This is speaking activity I made in a pinch, since my JTE only asks me for talking activities.

I demonstrate with the JTE and two volunteers who I give a sentence to read off of. They must change the underlined words: If they repeat any sentence, they sit down. The ones who are still standing at the end of the timer are the winners. Reset to the next round. If they hesitate too long to answer, they also must sit down.

This is flexible, and can be changed to other grammar points or level difficulty. This is meant to practice noun + past participle. Instead of changing both underlined words, you can have them change only one for a faster round.

Have fun!

    This sounds like a great idea. Could you change the access to the Google file? Or else you might get a bunch of emails from people requesting access.

    Thanks for pointing that out! I made it public now.

    Sounds really fun! Sorry to ask but is there any way you can upload this as a ppt file? Google Docs is blocked at many schools, mine included.

    I second @AVGKF request! It sounds like a fun idea, but I can't access it at my current school either.
