Here's a power point for period 2 & 3 of lesson 7 - It's Big!

Basic board game in black & white for Lesson 7 "It's Big". We have already done lesson 12 "How Many Flowers" so there are kangaroos and lions on the board. If you haven't done this unit you might want to take the word doc and change the pics in those boxes (or just leave them blank).

We played it with kids in pairs and they had to use the target language to go forward.

Student 1: Look at that!
Student 2: It's a lion. It's big. / It's an egg. It's small.

Etc. Kids love board games so they enjoyed it, even though it was pretty simple.

Here is a guessing game i made for this lesson.
I intend to do it in teams and award points to the teams that guess correctly by holding up cards that say "Big" or "Small" Hope it works
