This is a dominoe game for the set dialogue.

To play this game you need to print the dominoes and dice for each group.
You can only play with 5-6 players max.

The dialogue:

A: How often do you __________?
B: _____________________
A: How long do you __________?
B: For ________________.

Dialogue Instructions:
1. Match same words/pictures
2. Use the dominoes to fill in the information for (A?).
3. Use one die for frequency of the activity in sentence 2
4. Use one for for duration of the activity in sentence 4.


How to play dominoes.
1. Divide out the dominoes until everyone have equal number of dominoes. The starting number should typically be 7.
2. Match the end pieces to the same word or picture.
3. The first person with no dominoes wins.

I base two of three lessons each unit on the listen and speak portion of the textbook.  I only give the textbook about 5-8 minutes of the lesson before moving on with my own material.

For Listen and Speak 1 I covered the dialogue in 'a' and 'b' and verified they understood how and when to use "anyways."  Instead of covering section 'c,' I drew two columns on the board, one labelled 'often' and the other 'how long.'  As a class we covered which responses to use in answer to either type question. To get the answers flowing I started with "how often" then "how long" do you brush your teeth.

I borrowed material from another post that I've since lost track of, namely the Mario Speaking challenge in which a member from each group reads in turn, "My favourite _______ (sport, food or subject) is ________. I play it _______________."  I changed up the adverbs on the ppt to broaden their language use, even though as a result the grammar isn't perfect with some of the sentences, ie "I eat ______ rarely" instead of "I rarely eat _______." 

My students have fixed groups of 5 and 6 and they were extremely well behaved and into the game, though loud whenever it came to taking points from another team.  Every single student read out loud for their group and it took about 25 minutes to go through the whole class. 

To finish and for the last 9-10 minutes of class, I handed out an interview worksheet (each page cut in half, one half for each student). While still in groups, students asked one other group member how often they would perform each task on their sheet.  Some of the groups would ask one question of each group member and write the interviewee's name in the corresponding box.  I think I'll ask my next classes to do the same.

Overall, I'm thrilled how smooth this lesson went!  I hope the next classes will work just as well.

(I just realized I mislabelled the mario file name, it is for L3 not L2)

I've revised an original ppt I had related to Daily Schedules.

I draw a students number out of my number bag and ask them to stand up.  The students ask the Question 'often' or 'long' and the student whose number was drawn answers the question with a proper sentence.  If they answer within 10 seconds, their team line (horizontal or vertical) gets a point.

This all goes towards any final team points in at the end of the class.

I have also done a 'Rock/ Paper / Scissors' competition between each of the first students in each line of desks.  The winner has 10 seconds to answer the question. 

This rock paper scissors method also works to choose the order of the lines when playing a game.  In this scenario, I have used the 'Mario Game' attached in the thread above.  Thanks for sharing everyone~ :)

Here is my powerpoint to go along with my lesson.
There is a warm up puzzle.
The answer is 3 times in a day.
Afterwards, there is a ball toss warm up game.
Finally, I have detail instructions of how to play the dominoes game.

This is for period 2 of this chapter.
The word puzzle answer is: "Once in a Blue Moon"

The Healthy Quiz Game is more  of a review from period 1.
Divide the questions to 8 students(or groups of 8). These students will ask the other students questions. The other students will answer.
If they chose A they get $1. If they choose B they get $5. If they choose C they get $10.
At the end show them the results.

Old Maid:
This is simply a matching game. The students have to find matches to the problem and advice.


Update on Healthy Quiz Game:
After playing it with my class. I truly don't recommend using the play money. I also, don't recommend letting the students know how much money they get for each answer.
Therefore, I created a worksheet where the students will simply check off their answer.

It will be your job to let them know how much each answer is worth and their score.
If they chose A they get $1. If they choose B they get $5. If they choose C they get $10.

Here is my riff/mash-up of two of the PPTs previously posted. It's a bit repetitive, but gets the job done.

For the second listen and speak, I talked with my co-teacher about how many of my students already have a weight/diet complex, and she agreed with my decision to skip the textbook lesson all together.  This is a nice, low prep, no technology lesson.

Instead, I talked with the class for almost ten minutes about problems and how to give advice.  They've done this before so it's mostly review.  I ask them what advice they'd give if I told them my shoulder hurts, then write their answers on the board.  I point out any answers that are too similar, and praise any particularly original answers.

I pose a few more basic ones, like "I feel tired" and "my tooth hurts," straight out of the book, to make sure they get the idea and introduce the expression "You'd better..."

THEN, I put the students into their groups of 5-6 and give them a single lined sheet of paper per group.  I give them one problem at a time and 5 minutes to write down as many different advice responses as they can.  After the time is up, they pass their papers to the group to the right (next question, to the left) and the other group checks the responses to eliminate any answers that are too similar or completely off topic.  Some of my students take it upon themselves to check grammar and spelling too, anything to knock down the competition.  I give them about 3 minutes or so to do this.  Students count and record how many answers the group gave then pass back the papers to the original group for the next question.  I've only been able to get through 4 questions in a 35 minute period (which includes explaining the game).  After the last question, students tally up the total response number of the group whose paper they have, then give them a final score.  I give the group with the most responses a stamp (for the reward system) and after checking through the responses after class myself, will give chocolate to the group with the most or most original responses the following class.  This helps soothe the disagreements between groups over each other's marking criteria.

Some of my favourite questions to ask:

-I really like this person, but I don't know how to talk to them. (lots of great answers!)
-I don't like the sweater my Mom bought me, but she says I have to wear it.
-I broke my cell phone screen display.
-I don't feel ready for my test tomorrow.

Hello fellow middle school warriors:

I think there's already quite a few ppts up so I won't add my prezi for this unit, but I'll toss in a worksheet I created that covers the key grammar points for this chapter. When my students are motivated it takes them about 15 minutes to complete it with their partners. For a low level or low motivated class, about 25 minutes. The word scramble was really effective in teaching where you most commonly see "if" in a sentence.
Your only consistency should be unpredictability.

Here's a simple worksheet I made to go with the Listen & Speak exercises on pages 44 and 45.

My coteacher wants me to teach these sections, so I usually have them write out the activities and speak out loud with a partner. It's a little boring, but it keeps the coteacher happy.

I try to finish these two activities in the first half of the class and then do something a little more engaging in the second half.

Good luck!

This is my intro ppt for lesson 3. It's very simple and I used a lot of celeb pics to keep the students interested.  I ended the lesson with a game of pictionary.

Cut the sentences and put each number into a separate envelope. Students work in groups to unscramble and write the correct sentence.

A pair board game played with counters and dice.

A time activities worksheet, students work in groups guessing how long each action will take.

A worksheet practising "You'd better..."

On page 49 of a Good Night, does anyone see something wrong with the story on losing weight?  The last sentence is confusing.  "So you can gain weight."

It's a little confusing. 'May' or 'will' are probably better verb choices. That section is about not sleeping. If you don't sleep enough, you can [may/will] gain weight.

Yeah "can" doesn't fit, it's not 100% in my opinion since it really depends on the individual's body, so I would use could or might.
