19. The group sits in a circle. The first student connects two of the ideas in the bubbles below, using one of the linking words from the list: if…, if I ever…, when…, as soon as…, by the time…, unless (åñëè íå, ïîêà íå)…
For example:
If I lose my job, I'll have to sell the house.
The next student now has five seconds to connect the second idea with another.
For example:
If I sell the house, I'll have to live with my mother.
If you cannot think of a sentence, you must drop out of the game. When all the ideas have been used, you may think of your own. Continue the game until there is only one person left, of until the end of 10 minutes.
