You should establish groups of 5 people according to their interests. You should explain the game and its content to each student and group. Each student will prepare a sentence about the environmental subject you will give. He will write this. We will create a common story. The story, which will return to each student, will end with the participation of everyone. Assessment can then be obtained by reading them in front of the class. |

Activity description, instructions for teachers
This playful storytelling game is best played with a group because it’s an add-on story. One person starts the game by writing a few sentences of a story.
That person folds the paper so only the last line of writing can be seen and passes it to the next person. That person reads the sentence and adds on to the story with their ideas, folding the paper again.
This continues until the last person in the group writes an ending. Unfold, read, and prepare to laugh. These stories usually turn out to be completely wacky — and tons of fun.
