I did a quick edit on a spongebob bomb game from the previous book with a similar lesson. I tried to focus on "Which is ....?"

PPT explaining the board game for session 2. You can print out the slide for lower level students so that they can read what to say instead of memorizing it. 

Here's what I got for lesson 5, as always be sure to check this post every now & again as I'll be editing it if/when I make more ppt's for the later parts of the lesson.

Pass the Pencil Case game: Instructions included in the PPT. (Ideal for the second period)

Sleeping Elephants game: Instructions included on the PPT, I always play sleeping elephants as a reading game but it can easily be used as a writing game too. (Ideal for the fourth or fifth period)

Some activities.  The original creator of these ppts should be acknowledged, but I have forgotten who they are, sorry (I first used them for a different class/grade last year). I have updated and tweaked them since. The intro ppt can be used as a motivation intro to the lesson, or as a filler - the kids usually like the videos, and it's a good way to try to get them to talk.  The Olympics is a fun activity, it can be spread over a few lessons (do a few events per) or as one solid lesson.  The hardest part is to get them to use the vocabulary as much as possible, tell you their birthdays in English, say who is taller etc. and not just get caught up in the competition. 

Events:
Who is the tallest student in the class?
Who is the shortest?
Oldest
Youngest
Best artist
Quickest at maths
longest hair
best at RPS
jump highest
?hold breath longest?


IMPORTANT NOTE: I have not used 'who can hold their breath the longest' yet, and I'm unsure if I should, what if one of them faints? They can be quite competitive kids. Or am I just being too cautious? 

ADDITIONAL: I'd love some suggestions for further events... I am thinking of using this as the warm-up for each class during this lesson. 

EDIT: It should go without saying, but please watch the videos first, you'll want to skip some boring parts, and in the world's smallest car vid you'll want to skip (or mute the audio) when Clarkson comments on a lady's bottom.  Plus that one is too long anyhow

Here are some song warm up videos
Thery are all Daft Punk- Harder Better Faster Stronger, but different videos.
My students loved it last year. I will show a different video at the beginning of each lesson

MY kids absolutely loved this lesson - I made the PPt with images I found online and I managed to get their photos from the admin office. It was a hit and we practised the key sentences. Lots of reading and LAUGHING!

Hope you can do a ppt similar to this one in your class- so worth it! http://mrsbaiasclassroom.blogspot.kr/2014/11/fun-comparative-adjectives-lesson.html

Happy Teaching!

Dialog template - In pairs, students complete the dialog about a new product.  They then make a poster advert and perform the dialog in front of the class.
Class quiz - I gave each table (4-5 students) a large white board and marker.  As a group they had to guess the right answer and write the answer on the board using a full sentence. It's a combo of funny pics and videos.  There are also word puzzles and sentence unscramble at the end.
Minesweeper (someone else's template) - Students find points by selecting squares by making sentences using the words and pictures given.  Eg, "A cow is stronger than a ______" (students think of their own thing to compare it with).

Today we taught part 2 of Chapter 5. I was asked to do the Chant section and replace it with something else.

I used the video for Daft Hands "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" and gave them a worksheet to fill in the blank.

I played the video once, then asked them what words they heard. I passed out the worksheet and then played the video from the 00:50 mark until 02:25. I played it again maybe 3 or 4 more times total before we reviewed the answers. Since I shortened the video, I was able to teach this portion of the book in 10-12 minutes. Just remember that the first 50 seconds of the song is all instrumental and NO lyrics.

Video was downloaded from a previous poster (as a backup), but I primarily used the YouTube link ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYoqN0jkYLE ).

The students *LOVED* it. Highly recommend it!

My students loved this version of the song and the work sheet was good in the sense that it taught them how words alone can make no sense but when you combine them it can change the meaning. I also used this to get them to think about "sounds" and how words can have similar endings. It was a little fast for them but pausing and taking it a line at a time helped them get used to hearing it. My one male student couldn't stop singing in a robot voice. He loved it.

Yeah It was a bit fast for some of my classes, but I think they took it as a challenge. They got a bit competitive to see who can figure out the lyrics first. I definitely repeated the lyrics myself so they could understand better. Glad the worksheet helped!
