Activity 13
• The example is quite long,
in order to illustrate how to
create a good riddle. While
achievable by students at this
level (working cooperatively,
working individually will require
more time), it is sufficient for
a riddle to be 100-120 words
in length. Consider that an
average amount of time allotted
for an individual to write 100
words is about 50 minutes.
Thus, the description could
be done in sections, with each
team member writing a part
according to the decisions they
made in Activity 12.
• If possible, try to provide
students with books or leaflets
with tips for writing and
proofreading. You can find
many of them in this book. Your
students may also want to check
the Remember sections of the
book. Tell them that although
the examples depend on the
context, the formal contents
can be adapted to varied
situations beyond the practices
in which they are used.
Activity 14
• As with the selection criteria, the list of rules should not be restrictive, but it should help to develop the
game swiftly. In order to do so, ask your students to imagine and predict what could happen if they follow
each rule as it is written.
• Another way to carry out this activity is for one team to write a rule and another to study and review what
happens when the rule is not followed or followed too strictly.
