What are you wearing today? (A2 - 1)




PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE



1. Roll newspaper into wands and go outside. 
2. Divide the class, give wands to 1/3 and they become Voldemort.

3. The remaining wandless 2/3s are Harry Potter. 

4. Give the Harry Potters a 10-second head start then let the Voldemorts loose. 

5. When a Voldemort catches a Harry Potter, they wave their wand and shout an instruction at Harry eg. jump/dance. Harry Potter then has to do that action in the same spot until they are saved. 

6. The caught Harry Potter can shout, "HELP ME, PLEASE!"

7. The spell is broken when a FREE Harry Potter comes along and asks "What are you doing?" and the caught Harry Potter replies "I'm jumping/dancing". With that complete, Harry Potter is now free and the world is okay again!
