A jeopardy file I changed for this chapter. Hope it helps.

A "baseball" game I made for period 2.

The Find a Friend Activity is genius!  I'm going to try it next week and I am also trying the LET'S DO SOMETHING VS. SOMETHING GAME GRADE 5 L8P6.  Thanks for the ideas!

Hi everyone.  This is a powerpoint I made to provide visual instructions on how to play Battleship.  It was difficult explaining the concept to both my coteachers and the students, so hopefully this will make the experience better.  I recommend you give at least 15-20 minutes for this activity (including 5 minutes for instructions).  The battleship template was taken from another teacher (thank you) so feel free to modify it accordingly.  Don't be frustrated if doesn't work well at first.  It took about five minutes (after the activity started) for everything to click together.  Hope this helps!

PS- Each student receives one handout.  To save paper, I ask students to mark their papers in pencil. When the game is over, students can erase their previous marks and start again.

We are just starting lesson 8. Here is a worksheet that has key vocab, the dialogue for "Look and Listen" and "Listen and Speak".  It also includes a word search with the key vocabulary words.

I edited the Pororo game to make a Corner game..
Print each sentence on a page and paste each at a point in the classroom.
They go to the sentence and get points if there sentence matches the one
on the powerpoint.
Key expression = How about....

I am desperate to get a PPT story for Lesson 8 that has either Lets'_________?     or      How about_________?   as part of the story. Any ideas?

[ramackenzie]

Intro ppt I made for the first unit.

[wajowens]

a ppt someone else made for going over the 'dialogue' with disappearing words, extended and with some extra fun added. Should be good for 10-15 mins in period 1 or 2.

There are a lot of great ideas here, so thanks everyone for all of the information .

My 6th graders love games where they can compete, group against group.  We have 5 groups, A through E, so I like to do some probability games with them.  You can change my version so it doesn't have me and my classroom in it, but I put a bunch of pictures together for "How about ---" or "Let's ----".  You can review the target language with the students first, or write it on the board if necessary. The main focus is on "Let's", but there are a few slides in the end that are for "How about". You could probably cut this up into at least two games, too. This PPT is for the last part of Lesson 8.


LET'S DO SOMETHING VS. SOMETHING GAME GRADE 5 L8P6

Materials = 5 Small whiteboards (or paper)
                   5 black Markers
                   5 tissues (to erase the board)

Basic Idea = Each group has a 50 percent chance of getting the correct answer, but there are no right or wrong answers.

EXAMPLE:
---Teacher shows the first slide (as an example) and says, "Let's play volleyball or baseball. Which one do you want to play?"
---Each group talks quietly about what sport they want to write down
---Each group decides and writes their answer on their whiteboard
---Group A is first, so they get to choose what group will answer
---Group A talks amongst themselves and decides what group to choose
---Group A decides to ask Group E
---Group A says together, "Let's play volleyball!" and holds up their whiteboard with volleyball written on it(Group A's sport has to be the sport that they are asking about)
---Group E's board does not match, so they say, "Sorry, we can't."
----------------If Group E's board said "volleyball", then they would have to say, "Sounds great" or "Why not", using the responses in the textbook
----------------If you do the first slide as an example only, then the students should be able to figure out how to play the game
--Each group gets a point for a matching answer

You could always play this where it's teacher vs. student, but my students like trying to mind read their peers:).  Sorry if this sounds complicated, but it's actually a pretty simple game.

Thanks for the great idea! I decided to make my version a teacher vs student game. I tried the version student vs student version, but I had difficulty keeping students from cheating, whispering their choices to neighbouring teams. Also some popular girls somehow bullied other teams into choosing their team every time, causing them to win. The student vs teacher version is is just easier, I think.
Once the teacher reveals their choice, teams answer one by one "Sounds great!" or "Sorry, we can't"

This is a traditional-style bomb game themed after the popular Korean MMOFPS/CounterStrike clone, "Sudden Attack", complete with obligatory pictures of members of Big Bang and 2NE1 holding pistols and SMGs while toting automatic rifles. Hope someone finds this useful. My two grade 5 classes today went ape over this. I made this on PowerPoint:Mac 2011, and oddly I noticed some glitches in the animations when I used this on PowerPoint 2007 for Windows. Hopefully I've fixed it.

Attached is a mario game modified for this lesson  :D. Enjoy!

yes, i used it and it was excellent.

Hello all,

Here is a simple bomb game I came up with the review the key phrases.

Enjoy!

[Caliboy]

To make this lesson more interesting for me, and more importantly for the students I decided to teach other forms of expression.  The book already covers

"How about playing baseball?", but I decided to add
 "Do you want to play to play baseball/go hiking, etc?".

 I have them recall all the different ways of asking the same question because it challenges them and encourages a bit more thinking.  I do this because some of the expressions don't seem very genuine.

GRADE 5 - LESSON 8 - PART1 PPT

[mod edit - merged posts]

[jtdieterich]

Thanks to whoever posted this review and typhoon game. I tweeked it to match the new book's key expressions.

[jennfenn21]

Hi!

Attached are what I have made for Lesson 8. Sorry the attachments are in a random order  :)

I made:
Intro vocab PPT
A partners board game (Lesson 8 vocabulary and review of previous vocabulary)
BINGO cards (30 different cards-Lesson 8 vocabulary and review of previous vocabulary)
Flashing sentences (opener for Period 4)
Memory/concentration cards and PowerPoint for the rules

Answer Boards Game:
Small groups/Partners share a white board (I'm using blank white sheets with  clear page protectors)
Rules are in the PowerPoint

Dice Challenge:
Split the class into 2 teams
You need 2 dice
One student rolls the dice (1 or 2). The whole team reads the question for that number. Either delete the number off the PPT or write the numbers answered on the board to keep track.
The first team to answer all 12 questions wins!
For repeat question/numbers...the team reads the question still! (the more practice the better) :)

Hope this helps!

I made this game for the reading / writing part of the chapter. The first class didn't really get into it at all, but the others seemed ok.

Basically teams have to take it in turns to write out sentences on the screen. When everyone has finished writing they have to put the sentences in the correct order.

[letsgoteacher]

HI!    Here's a reading activity for part 3.

We're going to do it like this:-
-pairs write the correct sentence in the space for numbers 1-5  [3-4 minutes]
-swap paper with another pair, and we all check the answers together  [2 minutes]
-spot the mistake=1point, write the correction=1point, so a max of 2 pts/sentence.
-give papers back and do 6-10.    [3-4 minutes]
-swap papers and check 6-10.  [2 minutes]
-#6 is the only correct one.
-I've included 2 punctuation mistakes, bc my coteacher is very keen on punctuation!! 

Hope it's useful :-)
