A lesson intro PPT, a  Bingo How-To and blank bingo cards

Good stuff.
I have a powerpoint for the characters from the book. It might be my intro PP as well.
Also, a roleplay script.
Edit: Added a simple Hidden Picture game and a time filler/missing letters worksheet.

Heres a ppt. for Hello I'm Minsu. I found. I changed it up bit. This ppt is good to help teach students the characters names as well as "Hello my name is ..."

thanks for these!

In part 3 I've changed the game in the guide to name and actions game.

children stand in a circle (groups of 5 or 6) and 1st student says 'hello, my name is....' and they do an action. 2nd student says 'hello (1st student name)' + action, I'm ......' + action. So it gets harder and harder because they have to remember each other's actions.

Hope this is a useful activity for you!

Here's a quickie quiz game as well as 3 PPTs that introduce and practice the verbiage from the lessons.

Here's a song and video I made about the days of the week. I wasn't sure which post to put it in but i figured it'd be ok to show at the beginning of the semester.

Because Mediafire is gone, I'm gonna upload my stuff here :]

Some of it's mine, some of it I got from Mediafire and fixed, or some of it is just a blatant steal from mediafire ;].

This is a take on the standard "Pass the Ball" game, just modified to use a new object to engage the children who might have grown weary of the ball.

I found rubber chickens at a balloon/party store. I goofed on the clerk and asked him how I should cook them. Got a befuddled stare, but followed by a chuckle when I said, "Just kidding" If you can't find, or don't wait to pay for rubber chickens, I've seen plenty of "chicken" socks around. Perhaps you could stuff them with paper to create little "balls o' chicken" to pass around.

Many thanks to the original poster of the "Pass the Chicken" templates and to another poster from whom I borrowed the other images.

The book I'm using doesn't have any picture cards for this unit. So I'm going to make copies of the cards from the old book, so we can play snap.

Here's a scanned copy in case you want to do the same.

In addition to the alphabet song, for which I use the super simple variety, I like to start out the 3rd graders with the attached "Who are you" you clip (instead of the lame "What's your name?") which also nicely incorporates the vowels.  Here's a Vowel Worksheet to go with the clip.  I also use the Beatles "Hello, Goodbye" for which there are some nice vids on Utube.
