    Food-chain idea looked good. Am thinking of incorporating that in my classes too. :)

    Give it a go. Some of my students used to come up with really funny things like Vampire bites the girl, hero kills the Vampire, Werewolf eats the hero etc. It is a very adaptable concept!

    I LOVE this! I am taking an online TESOL course and one of my assignments was to go searching for a controlled activity.
