HOW TO PLAY TWISTER IN ENGLISH?
Topic: Knowing the Purpose of the Author (in a paragraph or story)
1. Discuss the different possible purposes of an author. It should be clear to the students how they are different from each other.
2. Ask the students to get one thing inside the room.
3. Ask the students to stand on any circle in the twister mat.
4. Assign a specific purpose on each circle.
5. Explain to the students that they need to sell their thing to the teacher by using the specific purpose they are tasked to do so.
6. After saying their sentences, ask them to go to another circle.
7. Change the purpose of the colors until everyone had the chance to sell their product in different purposes.
8. Of course, have fun!

Here is his winning speech!
Purpose: Criticize (and a bit of entertainment) =)
“You should buy Artline whiteboard marker and not Boardmaster. Why? In Boardmaster, it’s so hard to refill the ink. You have to twist it hard at the bottom which will give you a hard time, and the ink will likely spill on you. Like this (showing his hand with red ink)! But with Artline marker, you just need to push the clicker (click!), and dip it into an ink! It’s so easy! Your writing will be so clear and so black. So buy Artline marker now!”
