Materials for this chapter:
Period 1 - I'm going to start with the song, The Three Rs (Reduce, reuse, recycle) with a fill-in lyrtic sheet.  I will incorporate those terms into my other activities. I made a disappearing dialogue PPT, more on three Rs and a "Recycling Game" where teams will have to read out a dialogue similar to the textbook in order to recycle some litter and thereby earn points.  REMOVED
The song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtoeZ9Nkeqk
Period 2 - I have a challenging "unscramble" game for a warm-up and a short conversation game along the lines of the "spy" game--except it's the trashmen the other students want to avoid.  (Instructions on the PPT.) REMOVED
Period 3 - "Place your bets" game, a favorite at my school.  Individuals wager points on whether a sentence/dialogue etc is correct and matches the picture.  Instructions provided.  REMOVED
Period 4 - a challenging "Give Me 4" warm-up, and a Sleeping Dragons game--think Sleeping Elephants, but I made the template for a Harry Potter themed demo class I did.  REMOVED
Period 5 - I have a "bomb" style quiz game with an earth theme modified from one I made for a travel camp a while ago.  All the questions are from this lesson, and include the three Rs.  REMOVED

I'm a bit thin on materials for this lesson, so I'm hopeful that some others will see this and share their materials!  Some of my stuff in lesson 7 has around 150 downloads, but only ONE other person has offered anything in the thread!

Thanks for all of your quality materials, Mr. C. But also thanks for the encouragement for more of us to be contributors. These are some materials that I used for last year for YBM's It's Time to Help the Earth chapter and adapted for this book. One is a standard vocabulary ppt. The 2nd is a Hidden Picture ppt that is actually meant to be a conversation starter. First I defined what is a big problem and then I used the hidden picture game to introduce a variety of problems using the key phrases and prompt students to come up with solutions using the key phrases. This is a really good chapter for having interesting discussions with your students about all kinds of topics close and far away from them. It's a good opportunity to engage our kids with interesting topics and letting them deal with real world problems and think about how to solve them. In this way English is just the tool that they use to communicate something that they may actually care about. I think it could motivate them a lot to see that they can have these kind of conversations.

The third item is just a warm up using the famously hilarious German Berlitz Coast Guard Trainee video. Students fill in the blanks as they listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MUsVcYhERY

This is a pass the ball game I made for lesson 8. I also posted a blank template version in the games and templates forum.

After a few slides, I throw in another ball and the two students with the balls when the  music stops must play rock paper scissors. Loser answers the question. Keeps kids on their toes.

EDIT: Forgot to add- you will need to download the font "grobold" for the ppt to look right.

Just an idea I like and the children get into it!

http://prezi.com/gsqbylva-lbg/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share

You just give everyone a colored marker and a white board and let them race to see who can write it faster. Winning team gets a prize in my class. 2 points to first place and 1 to everyone else.

Coin Flick game. Images match the sentences on the game board. Students have to cross off the image on their image sheet when they land on the matching sentence. Winner is the first person to cross them all off.

Thanks for the sleeping dragons game, btw. It worked well in my class. I changed "Let's clean up this place." to be the last sentence so it could break ties. Since it is not a key expression, my students don't have that one memorized and struggled with it more than the others.  :undecided:

I made a Wheel of Fortune game using Zeegs' amazing WOF template (from the Games and Templates section of this site).

It features expressions and vocabulary from the textbook -- the last slide on the PPT is an answer key with all the expressions used in the game. Feel free to change it to fit your needs :)

Thanks again to the original creator of this template!

Battleship Game. Copied format off another user.

I used it for Period 3.

I've played this game with my students a lot so I skipped making a explanation PPT.  If you'd like one you can search older chapters for some.

here are a coin flick game and matching game.

the words and phrases we taught for each picture were (on the coin flick sheet, from left to right staring from the top): bottle, energy, save water, recycle, turn off, put (or: put the can here), save, world/Earth, save energy, light, bag, spill over (or: spilling over). 

hope these are helpful for someone.  good luck~

Ridiculously simple PPT I made for Reading Time. I have the whole class line up and each student says one word in the sentence when a smiley face flashes on the screen then runs to the back of the line. If the poop emoji comes on then you're out and sit back down. The goal is to read the text as quickly as possible. I time them and the class with the lowest time wins a prize, which is usually just a sticker but they go crazy all the same.

Here's a decoding game and PPT that worked well for me.  The PPT introduces the worksheets, the last slide is the answer and a picture.  If you're better at PPT than me, maybe you can create something that won't leave your students asking, "But teacher, isn't he already dead?"

Basically, there are 5 different worksheets.  The students have to decode the messages on their work sheet.  That gives them a list of letters which they have to unscramble to get part of an additional message.  Then all 5 groups members have to put their portions together to 'figure out how to save agent x'.  I included a PDF and the word doc.  The two symbols that are missing a translation are just a period and question mark - I thought it would be fun to make students guess those.  It drives some of them crazy :p

The 5th worksheet is pretty difficult (it doesn't use the target language) because I needed an extra worksheet to give groups who had 5 members (most of my groups are 4).  The important part of the message is contained in the first 4 worksheets - the 5th is fun, but unnecessary.  I ended up giving the students a lot of hints for it - I've included a picture.  I would start by breaking up the letters, adding in the mouse trap and fish, draw the tank, get students to say that the mouse trap was a mouse trap, and then add a T in the first blank.  I went ahead and included a picture just for fun.

At the end of class I talked about why I used the hints I did and what you need to add to "Trapped in tank!" to make it a complete sentence.

Eraser game for period 1 / listening.  Monkey themed, an idea I got from builderstea in the 3rd and 4th grade Daekyo thread (thanks, builderstea!).  But I've adapted it to include level-up slides.  Everyone starts hands-on-head.  After a few prompts, students with high points put their hands behind their backs, and students with low points put them in front of their chest.  A few prompts later, it's cover your eyes, hands in the air, or hands on the desk.  It's still preferable to make fairly competitive pairs.

Note I've included pictures for extra expressions like "take an umbrella", "turn off the AC", etc.  I had students repeat the expression after me when it was wrong, but say "OK", "alright", or "no problem" when it was correct.  I was nervous about using this with the older kids but they loved it!  (Their homeroom teacher had to play along to make even pairs, and he had a blast too, haha.)

Hello,
This is my first time posting anything here and it's not exactly anything fantastic, but it can be used as a filler for this lesson, or even a writing activity for period 5.

It's just a simple decoding worksheet that can be added to or changed in anyway to suit your needs. My students did this for a pre-game warm up before I gave them my final writing activity. Hope this is useful to anyone.

Here is a writing game I created.  I'm calling it "Sentence Craft", as it's Minecraft-themed and involves building sentences.  It's like Telepathy meets Place Your Bets, if you know those.  My students always enjoy Telepathy, but I don't like the mindless copying, so this game tries to make them think a bit about what they're writing down.

The screenshot probably explains it adequately.  On each slide, students see a sentence frame, choose words or phrases from a list of options to complete it, and then write the result.  Some of the choices are between correct and incorrect English, and some are between equally correct alternatives.  Making an incorrect choice gives 0 points for the whole sentence.  Choosing correctly gives students a chance at randomly-assigned points based on the other choices they made.

Any feedback will be appreciated; I'm trying this out for the first time today. 

Some graphics were borrowed from seonsaengnim's Minecraft Bomb Game (http://www.waygook.org/index.php?topic=39441.0).


Also, if anyone is looking for a slightly easier song, "Going Green" by Have Fun Teaching uses almost all of the target vocabulary (though not the same grammar).  It's a bit lame but my students are tolerating it.  We only sing the first two verses, bridge, and chorus.  Lyrics are in the video description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsWhJX7Ihiw
