Messages in Bottles

How to use:

Option A: Whole Class Play 

 1. Screen-share the Genially presentation.

 2. Ask a student to pick a bottle number.

 3. Reveal the message inside the bottle.

 4. Guide the discussion using the five questions.

 5. Optionally, assign different students to take turns leading the storytelling.

Option B: Breakout Room Version (Collaborative)

 1. Share the Genially link in the chat and ask students to open it in a new tab.

 2. In breakout rooms (3–4 students), ask groups to choose 1–2 bottles.

 3. Instruct them to:

 • Read the message(s)

 • Answer the five creative questions together

 • Nominate one person to present

 4. After time’s up, return to the main room and let each group share their story.

Tip for Engagement:

 • Allow students to create their own messages in bottles for classmates to guess in future lessons.
