 Get Four
I've been trying to figure out how to use the Get Four game effectively for lower level learners, and I must be fairly limited in imagination because I'm a bit stumped. For example, many of my young students (kindergarten and 1st graders) are learning the first Daily Routines set right now. I can't think of anything other than combining two Daily Routines activities in a single sentence: "I wake up and get dressed" or "I eat breakfast and go to school".
Has anyone come up with some good uses of this game? No need to restrict replies to ideas about Daily Routines vocab...I'd be happy to hear anything!

 Re: Get Four
what about adding some simple time phrases to go with them? - in the morning - in the afternoon - at night - every day
depending on their level... - before breakfast - after lunch - after dinner
(you can have just 3 phrases that repeat across the top. one of the good things about this game is that you don't need all unique sentence pieces.)
The they could make sentences like: "I eat breakfast in the morning." "I don't take a bath in the afternoon."

 Re: Get Four
Hmm...the Daily Routines set also includes 'go to bed'. Not sure how comfortable I'd feel teaching 'I go to bed with Doraemon'...
