Simple story - Plays

Someone asked on the facebook group recently about a story involving plays and sports or activities due to constraints they are in. Here were some ideas I gave:

Idea 1: (3 problems model)

Guide words:

1. wants to play (with)
2. goes to talk to
3. says, "I don't want to play that."

modify guide words as needed

Script:
[Student] wants to play something. They play it really well. They play it [embellish]. There is a problem. They don't want to play alone. They go to talk to [character]. The character isn't playing [sport]. They character is playing [sport 2].

Story script - wants to impress

This sort of reminds me from an old LICT script I used. Add any additional language you would like. Perhaps, throw in some transition words, or embellish the details to give more language in other ways.

• Wants to impress
• Buys a — for him/her
• Gives it to him/her

My general idea for the story might be:

• Part 1:
• [Character] wants to impress ___. 
• [During time 1], S/he buys a __ for __. 
• S/he buys a __ for __ to impress __. 
• S/he goes to visit __. 
• S/he tells __, “Hello. I bought a __ for you. Are you impressed?”
•  __ is not impressed.
• Part 2:
• [Character] is sad because __ is not impressed with __. 
• So, [character] goes and buys a __ for __. 
• [During time 2], S/he buys a __ for __ to impress __. 
• S/he goes to visit __ again. 
• S/he tells __, “Hello. I bought a __ for you but you weren’t impressed. This time, I bought a __ for you. Are you impressed?” 
• __ is not impressed.
• Part 3:
• [Character] is sad because __ is not impressed with __. 
• So, [character] goes and buys a __ for __. 
• [During time 3], S/he buys a __ for __ to impress __. 
• S/he goes to visit __ again. 
• S/he tells __, “Hello. First, I bought a __ for you but you weren’t impressed. Second, I bought a __ for you but you weren’t impressed. This time, I bought a __ for you. Are you impressed?” 
• __ is impressed.
• (and character’s reaction to the gift. Class can decide if s/he gives a hug or a kiss or destroys it or throws it in the pool, etc.)
