And here's a connect 4 game.

Here's a basic vocab ppt which expands some on the language in the text book, and a little game I put together to kill time. It uses the characters from last year's book, but I don't think the kids will mind particularly.

minsu's adventure was brilliant. i fear it is too easy for my kids. i see it as a good warm up or review activity.

here's a "blazing pens" (speed writing game). 

for a twist, i'm going to let the two fastest teams pull a card from a bag letting them know how many points they got (or if they got a bomb)

For this lesson we performed some roleplays of the LIttle red hen story.

First my co-t and I told the story for the students, then using the story cards they students but the pictures in order. Then we gave them time to practise the dialogue and at the end a few pairs came up to perform at the front of class.

 We have animal headmasks so the students were able to wear those when they came to the front.

I have to assign grades for reading, writing, listening and speaking. So, I will be giving a test in the next week or so. I took the speaking test that someone kindly uploaded in one of the earlier lessons(thanks for that) and added a reading and writing page at the end.

I will print two pages on one sheet, cut them in half and have my co-teacher oversee that part while I'm giving the Listening/Speaking test in the hall.

Note: I had the writing portion of the test as all blanks, but the head 4th grade teacher said it was way too hard. Leaving just one or two blank letters was her suggestion.

Seems I forgot to upload the file. Edited to upload it.

Here are some PPTs and a board came instead of using the tiny little one in the book. I changed the rules as well, to just rolling the dice, move your mice.

Nice work Mr. Mac. My students will love this. Getting them to articulate what's going on might be tough.....but they'll see the funny side

Here is a fun short clip that I used with my kids. We watch it once, then the second time I pause the clip throughout and ask them to translate the dinosaur or cave man's actions into English. As they are translating, I elicit the language structures of the unit. Hope this is useful.

I put together a quick fill-in-the-speech-bubble PPT, using stills from the video for practice after viewing. I used the video with my 6th graders who hated everything last year, and they loved it!

Using most of the key vocabulary i made a bomb game for lesson 8. I am using it for the 3rd period class.
Hope this helps you save time preparing!
