1. Take the adjective left for you by the last player, choose whether you should it with ‘ser’ or ‘estar’.
2. Form a simple sentence.
NB: Each time you play try to use a variety of subjects, eg. estoy, somos, ellos están etc.
3. Write it in English and Spanish.
4. Give the reason why you chose ‘ser’ or ‘estar’.
4. Then choose another adjective from the list below or choose one of your own and leave it for the next player.
5. Feel free to add a picture to your post.

SpectatorAdjective: valiente (brave)
My sentence: Los niños son valientes.
Reason: Usually, in Spanish at least, being brave is considered a characteristic Which makes sense really because if you don’t already have that characteristic then you are unlikely to react with bravery when under pressure.
New adjective: bajo/a. (short)
