ESL Writing Activities

Interactive Story: The Magic Hat

To use this ESL writing activity, simply print out the story before and pass it out to each of your students. After they write two or three sentences, have them pass their story to the person on their right, and continue doing this until the story returns to the first writer. The stories will inevitably get a little silly, but this is a good way to teach ESL writing in an interactive manner while also reinforcing reading and comprehension skills.

The Magic Hat

I was bored one Saturday afternoon, so I started looking around the basement.  That’s when I found a strange hat with many colors on it.  Without thinking, I put it on my head; what happened next was unbelievable. . .
