Writing Activities for the TEFL ClassroomGeneral Writing Activities

Re-writing a Story as a Script: group size equals the number of story characters plus a

narrator.

Stories from pictures: Collect shots of people, places and activities and hand them out to a group of students, so they have to create a

story based on the photos.

Personal Ads: To practice writing descriptively you can encourage your students to write personal ads using

adjectives and/or adverbs.

Dear Diary: Have slips of paper with different situations ready so the students have to pick one and develop the story as if writing

about it on their diaries.

Describing Fruit: Blindfolded students will each have a fruit so they can write a piece on describing it, with as much detail as possible, to someone who are visiting the supermarket.

Find the Lie: students write 3 statements each but one is a lie. The others will ask some

questions to try to find out which one is the lie.

Split Story: students are given the first paragraph of a story and need to add another

one, before passing to the next student to continue writing it until the end.
