In this paper, the writer introduces an activity which has been developed from a commercial card game. The purpose of the activity is to develop oral presentation/storytelling skills. The writer begins by giving a brief description of what materials are needed, and the process involved in preparing for the activity. A seven step explanation guides the reader through a sample game using vocabulary and dialogue which might actually occur in an authentic playing of the game. The paper concludes with a rationale as to why the game would make a good language learning activity.
