text contains parts in L1 and L2 'tangled' - students highlight L1 text in one colour, L2 text in a different colour - then translate/re-construct the texts in both - L1 and L2. 

This is a nice activity to revise sentence builders. I ask students to write a sentence in a piece of paper, then i ask them to fold the paper and pass it on / or throw (depending on the classes). At this point student open the ball, read the sentence and add something and the game continues.
