Lesson 7: At the Traditional Market

[AnyMajorDude]

Strawberry, your Super Mario game just saved me from dying on my arse in front of 40 students...thank you so much! Am now slightly sad I only have another four classes this week to use it in...

My lesson is a PPT largely cobbled together from other waygookers' work, with a fill-in-the-planner pair exercise, and a making-plans gap-fill exercise that I've now largely abandoned in favour of the Super Mario game. because wow. Attached it all here anyway though, if anyone's interested. Spot the BSG reference.

My 2nd grade went absolutely nuts over mystery box, so I thought I'd make one for the 1st grade. Here's my contribution, I hope it helps someone!

That is a brilliant game.  I wish it had been up when I was still working on that chapter!  I'm onto the next one already but it's great.

Here is a PPT with two lessons worth plus a document with a lesson plan for each lesson.
Truth be told, I simply added textbook activities to an existing PPT that I thought was great.
There is also a worksheet that I downloaded from the same person on this thread but I can't remember who so here it is again (I did add a tiny bit to it though).
Hope it helps!

I play hot potato with an envelope or a bag full of questions. When the music stops, the person with the envelope has to pick a question and answer it.

Here are the questions i used.

So, I did this after I ran though a couple of stupid things from the text book and it was a huge hit.  The kids seemed to enjoy themselves.  Also, I asked what song we should play, Gungnam style is what they chose.  It gave my kids a little freedom, allowed them to be a little goofy, while they still had to read the phrases out loud. 

I should say I was afraid of playing a song they liked but my KT allowed it making the students reply in full sentences.  It helped doing a song they wanted because their desire for the song made them want to answer more.  No question, no answer, no music video.  Also, she stopped it at funny places making the kids laugh.

Yeah, this is how my KT works, but it's cool, she also handdles dicipline.  She is the parent I am the cool uncle that has fun with the kids trying to teach them a lesson once in while.

Anyways, great idea and thank you.

I also used the mystery box game for the game in week 2. They went nuts for it.
