This lesson worked well last year.  First, get the students thinking about favors by asking them "who would you ask for a favor?"  Make a big list, then do the same after asking them "who would ask YOU for a favor?"  You get some good/funny answers in both.  Then go through the slides and have them practice the vocabulary and the chapter sentences: "Can you do me a favor? Can you help me open the door? etc, etc."  At the end, time permitting, there are 3 scenarios which I have the groups work on together.  They must think of a favor to ask in each scenario and I'd choose my favorite question/most correct answer and give the team points.

Thank you.
As a nonexperienced teacher. it will be very helpful to me.
next lesson, I'd like to show this webpages to my studendts. ^^

Just taught this lesson to my second grade class.  The prezi was a great tool for explaining the material in the book, but unfortunately my students vocabulary wasn't good enough to come up with examples of favors outside the book/ presentation.  *sigh* At least I got a few laughs when they saw the picture of the over sized pizza

Intro for Lesson 8

[Kendall.H88]

Cool, Thanks for the help, just starting to plan this one. Is there a video in the above ppt? It doesn't play in the downloaded file? Just so people are aware there may be issues with it.

[JJWON]

Yes, there is a video in the PPT.  You need to enable  Macros on your computer for the video to play.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, just Google "enable macros for PowerPoint"

Here is a game I found that relates to favors. It has been a hit or miss for me. My second graders are "too cool for school"  so some of the tasks they are into others they reject completely. Every class has had a good laugh which is nice but there is limited amounts of English being spoken, just to warn you. I hope this helps!

hello,
thanks again for every ones contributions. you have all helped me in some tough spots.
for this lesson i do an introduction lesson for the first week; review the previous chapter, introduce new vocab, practice, and then a dialogue with student presentation
for the second week i did a game using someone else's "lucky wheel" template from another lesson; do a review of last weeks lesson by asking questions, then do a favors game heavily influenced by Lokitamae. i added some more favors and tried to make some more speaking questions.
hope this helps.

Here is the powerepoint I spoke of above ^.  It starts with a quick game having the students guess the rooms of a house, then I explain favors and lastly we do examples of favors.   i hope this is useful to someone.

Here is the "bomb game" where the students ask for favors. Might be useful. Thanks!

Here's a basic review + pass the  ball game + tic tac toe game.

With pass the ball , the person with the ball had to ask "can you do me a favor" , then the class: "sure what is it", student "can you help me (picture)" and then the class could answer any of the 4 (no problem, sure, i can, i'm afraid I cant, I'm sorry i cant).  THERE ARE A FEW SLIDES WITH NO QUESTIONS WHERE THAT STUDENT JUST WINS CANDY (be prepared, or delete those slides!)

tic tac toe:  I posted the template that I used for that.  I made X's and O's, laminated them as well as the tic tac toe boards.  I reuse them for other lessons too.  Basically, make a dialog before you're allowed to make a move on the board.  just for fun.

This is the lesson I created after mixing up some of the materials posted here.
The lesson is self explanatory and have the kids actually do the actions in the handout, makes for a much more fun class.
I will follow it up with the PPT game "REAL- favors BAAM"

Favors bomb game... I used this for the second half of my class, it takes about 25/30min.

Angry birds Bomb game

HUGE thanks to Daejeon for this template and another huge thanks to the poster who made the "real favors" baam game - I used almost all of the pics from there. 

For the bomb game, you need to click on the question to reveal the favor (which the kids then do, so they only have to read "can you do me a favor" (click on can you do me a favor) "can you ...." then they do it.

There is a slide where the team gets candy so either change it or have candy

Basically just a whole lotta fun

Baaam game rocks. Thanks so much!

I'm excited for this.

Thanks for all the great material, guys!  I am using moe101's PPT, made some minor changes and printed the Rock, Paper Scissors game out as a worksheet.

Here's my lesson. Thanks to all the previous posters for some ideas. For the first activity, bounce around the room having pairs of students do the dialogue with the sentence they wrote. For the second activity, print and cut the attached document twice. Each student gets a strip of paper with a job on it and they need to move around the room doing the dialogue, until they find the person with the same job and get a "yes I can help you."
