One lesson I did was I put three baskets on the floor with a picture of a ruler on the closest one, a watermelon on the middle one and a car on the furthest one. Divided the class into three teams and gave each team about $50 in play money. On the board I wrote that the ruler cost $3 and was worth 3 points, Watermelon cost $5 and worth 10 points and the car cost $10 and was worth 25 points. One student from a team comes up and asks how much an item costs and then decides if he/she wanted to buy it. What the students bought was a shot at the correct basket with a fuzzy dice. If the student makes it his/her team gets the points and it is the next teams turn. If misses I allow the student to for half price after saying the target vocab again. If a team gets low on money I allow bartering. At the end I count up the points and give a point for every dollar/ 2 dollars the team has left over. Most points wins. Worked well for me and I was asked to play it many times.

I'm already on Lesson 11, but it looks like I'm the first ... there aren't any materials up yet. So I looked around and found a Price Is Right game for 6th grade (thank you to the poster!) and was able to simplify it for my 4th graders.

My students weren't able to say the big numbers in English, so I had them write their guesses on the board.

Hope this is helpful!

This was really helpful especially with the 3rd graders. They can count higher 50 and know the difference between American money and Korean money.

I played the dice game for this topic. Got students to pick items they want to and some items they would never buy for each side of the dice. I also made them pick the prices for each item. It made for an interesting game

This is a double puzzle that I made for Grade  4 "How Much Is It:" First they unscramble some vocab words, then they use the answers to discover a sentence at the bottom. The sentence is "Your English is Fantastic!" See worksheet:

Here are PPT's i made for pds 1-3.   At the beginning of every lesson I played the Doggie in the Window song.  By the end all my kids were singing almost the whole song.   For period 1 I made a simple fill in the blank worksheet too.  My kids are low-level so i made it so they could just circle the answer.  I had pd 1 PPT up on the screen (fill in the blank slide), while they were doing the worksheet, to help them know the meaning of each word.  Also attatched is a worksheet I made for Phonics Time.  I read each of the words outloud and they would circle or draw a triangle depending on if they heard a long or short 'a' sound.  They loved it.  We played Angry Bird Game twice during this lesson because we didnt have a lot of time to play it adn the kids loved it so much they wanted to finish it.  Enjoy.

Here is a good song to go with this lesson.

Here's a wmv file of a short video I made using "The Breakfast Song." 

The first few seconds just show pictures of a few things people might eat for breakfast (rice, kimchi, cereal, toast).  I'd pause on each of these pictures, and have the students repeat the words.  After those pictures, the song comes on with the words on the screen.  I had the students listen one time.  Then I'd slide go back in the show and replay it so they could sing along.  After that, I just let the video play through.  Basically, when the song can't be heard, the students are supposed to shout out "I want ___."  They should fill in the blank with whatever picture is on the screen at the time (ex. "I want kimchi!").

I think that makes sense?

I think it's usable for this lesson and the next.

I would really like to use this song...but my computer at school cannot download the file. Does anyone know which "Breakfast song" she is referring to? Also, how to do I save a Youtube video to my drive? Thanks in advance!
