Plenty of scope with this for making it your own/fit in with existing lesson plans.

Favours

This lesson teaches the simple language constructs for asking people to do favours for you.  I focused my lesson on asking people to "help you" do something vs asking them to do something "for you".  And of course, the importance of saying "please".  To practice I reused a gameboard I did for a previous lesson (http://waygook.org/index.php/topic,1579.msg188531.html#msg188531).

I made  two game boards that are about 30cm x 30cm.  I make four teams of students so there are two simultaneous games.  You will also need a pair of dice.  It really requires the cooperation of your coteacher though, since a moderator / score keeper is needed for each game.  It is effective at forcing EVERY student to practice the target language, but can be chaotic.

For this lesson I went back to three different versions of the powerpoint / game: DIAMOND = low level; RUBY = middle level; PEARL = high level.

Have fun with it.

Ever Had Work To Do?

This lesson includes review from the language structure of the chapter (asking for favours), and carries on with teaching the Grammar In Use section (using a verb as an adjective as in "places to go, people to see, things to do" and "have you ever ~ ?").  Some of the examples for the "have you ever?" section are personal examples however and include pictures of me.  I've left them in there in case they give you ideas, but you'll want to change them out. 

Also, since this lesson fell in mid-October, I made it a little bit halloween-themed, and as a treat, showed the class the video for Thriller (short version, of course).

There's also a worksheet for practice.   

There are three different versions of the powerpoint / worksheet: DIAMOND = low level; RUBY = middle level; PEARL = high level.

Enjoy!

This lesson had a lot packed into it, so it might be better spread out over two periods with a few more practice activities in between what I did. I got the idea for the game at the end from one of the posts already on here, so thank you very much for the bomb game! I just changed a few parts to make it more suitable for my classes. They seemed to love it so thanks! I have attached the lesson plan and here is the link to my prezi:
