The activity aims to have students express their wishes. It is also expected to help improve students’
speaking and listening skills.

Materials and Preparation
Wish cards on page 231
A ball
A bag
Any piece of music
Before the activity, cut out the wish cards provided and put them into the bag. If necessary, you can
add some more wish cards depending on the size of the class.

Procedure
1 Ask students to move around the classroom randomly. Play the music. Make sure that there is
enough space for the game.
2 Show students the bag and tell them that there are wish cards in it.
3 Ask students to pass the ball around and tell them that when the music stops, students will stop
immediately and stand still. Explain students that you will read aloud the wish and the student with
the ball will have a chance to express her/his wishes.

E.g. Expression : a wish for money
Suggested Answer : I wish I had more money to help people in need.

4 If the student with the ball does not give an acceptable answer within a minute or repeats an
answer given already, she/he will be out of the game.
5 Tell students that the last student wins the game.
