A really simple and what turned out to be really fun lesson to do. Most of the pupils have exams of some type coming up at the minute and could sure do with a bit of a laugh. I originally did this with grade 3 but am tweaking it a little to be done with G2's.
The worksheet is really simple as the main idea is elicting verbal responses from the class. Obviously, a whole pile of ground rules needed to be laid down at the start - for one, absolutely no swearing in either english or korean.
The lads really enjoyed this lesson and were using the word stress involved in this for ages after! Give it a shot - we had a blast!!!

Attached now is the udated worksheet - tweaked and redid a few bits

Wow, this looks like so much fun! A great way to kill a final class of the year!

I used this lesson for my first grade high schoolers. I teach at an all boys high school, and some of the boys lack motivation.  I would say though that overall the boys really enjoyed this lesson. Even the lower level boys who really don't care about learning English. I even heard them saying "you are soooooo ugly" etc in the hallways for a couple weeks afterwards.

I have one day of classes left and may use this, looks interesting. Beware though, the word compliment is spelled incorrectly throughout the worksheet.

I was kinda lost when my co-teacher suggested compliments for my lesson. This is a big help! Thanks

I'm not sure if teaching insults is the thing you want to do with students..  e.g. "you are so stupid.  Ugly!  go away!"  mother: where did you learn that?  student: teacher taught us...

HOWEVER,

the worksheet is really quite excellent.  but wouldn't you feel uncomfortable if a class required one of your classmates to insult you (teacher you are ugly and stupid!).  I think with some modification (where insults aren't directed to each other) this lesson could be quite good.

Big problem.  The worksheet has "complement."  This needs to be changed to "compliment."

I fixed some of the spelling mistakes in the worksheet and also tried to fix the layout  a little bit so that everything looks lined up.  Please find it in the attachment below.  Thanks to the Dyl for posting the original.
