here is a guessing game doing the basic vocabulary and 100 - 1000

here's an information gap worksheet i made - a conversation between Bart and Apu... uses the "how much is the _______ in the window" as I used the doggy song as a warm up

This is a little like a pictionary activity. Kids love it, they must look at the pics and hints and try to figure out the sentence.
They get really into it, it takes up a good amount of time. Kid dont like giving up on it either!

For my review session (class 4) of this lesson, I did a game where the whole class gets to stand up and play. It's a market game, where half of the students are selling items and the other half are buying. The sellers had to make the most profit (most cash at the end and not have any items left over), and the buyers had to get the most items for the least amount of money.

The winner of the sellers is the one with the most cash, followed by fewest items in the event of a tie.
The winner of the buyers is the one with the most items, plus most cash left over in the event of a tie.

We used the picture cards for this lesson in the back of the book, as well as the page with pictures of Korean 1000 won notes. I divided the teams and gave them their instructions before telling them to remove these from the book. (The buyers will need scissors to cut out the "money" -- 12,000 won in all).
The sellers write prices for their items on the back of the card, either 1000, 2000, or 3000, their choice.

I had all the sellers line up along the back of the class, and the buyers went to them, so there wasn't too much commotion. (The market doesn't get up and move after all)
I as the teacher act as a bank. Halfway through the activity, (use your best judgment), I ring the bell and offer twice as much for one particular clothing item. (You need to prepare slips of paper or stamps or whatever to denote this). I did this at the end of one of the classes instead of the middle and it worked just as well if not better, with them all sitting back down.

IMPORTANT: Remind them not to get too loud.
PRACTICE the key phrases before sending them off ("Can I help you?" "I like this (red sweater)." "How much is it?" "It's _______ won." "Here you are.")

This activity required a minmum of 20 minutes to explain, play and wrap up.
I included my instructions in a different format as an attachment.

The kids really liked this game, so make sure devote ample time to playing it.
Enjoy!  :)

Review for Counting Won!

Here's a game I made for this unit. Kids loved it and kept wanting to play it. Hope you guys find it useful. Just change it up as you see fit.

I tried to use an actual clip of price is right and to let kids guess the price using marker boards.  I tried the actual clip for a little more reality instead of opting for the powerpoint version.  It was nothing short of a trainwreck/disaster.  I think the powerpoint is a better option.  I couldnt have been much worse.  These kids just didnt understand how to play the game. 

I'm very open to suggestions.  I take it very personally when I have a class not go well.

This is a PPT slide of the code board for Read and Play.

I am planning on giving them a sheet of numbers for them to decode. I feel like having it up on a PPT will make it a bit more difficult.

I added a simple (nothing fancy) sheet of numbers for decoding.
