I hope I did this right, but at the last minute before class I made up an activity to play with the kids.

It's essentially a spy game. We review the targeted language (Do you have an eraser, etc.). Then we divide the class into 2 groups (boys vs. girls) and we made everyone close their eyes and we would walk around the room and tap 2 boys, or 2 girls depending on whose turn it was. Then everyone opens their eyes and figures out who is the "spy." They choose two students and ask the targeted language, "Do you have an eraser?" and the student will either say, "Yes I do," if they are they spy, or, "No I don't," if they aren't. They only get two chances to guess and if they guess right, they will get a point.

This game is really flexible with the number of groups, number of vocab to use and the number of guesses, but working with 3rd graders, we opted to keep it as simple as possible. Hope this helps.

Here is a ppt for the first period.

Happy Teaching!

Group Guessing Game: Make 4 or 5 teams. Tell the first team to put their heads down. Don’t look! (See the attached PowerPoint slides, but you can play without the PowerPoint too.) Click the slide to show the rest of the class 3 pictures. (for example: crayon, pencil, ruler) The first team wakes up and guesses altogether, “Do you have ____?”  The rest of the class answers altogether, “Yes, I have ____.” Or “No, I don’t have _____.” If correct they get a point. If not correct, guess one more time. Click to the next slide for the second team and play again.

Slap Game: Use the lesson 11 cards from the back of the textbook. Play in a circle of 6 students. place cards in the middle. Call out a card. The first person to slap it wins the card. Students take turns calling out a card.

Cowboy game: Use the lesson 11 cards from the back of the textbook. Play in a circle of 6 students. One student holds all the cards. Shoot a student, “BANG” and show a card. The student to the left and the student to the right must answer very fast. The first student to answer correctly wins the card. Pass the cards to the next student… “BANG”, left and right students answer.  It might take awhile for the kids to learn this game, but once they know it's quiet fun and good practice. You can play this game with any target English.

Train Wreck Game: Everyone sits in a big circle. Use the lesson 11 cards from the back of the textbook. Pass out all the cards, so that every student has 2 different cards. The teacher stands in the middle of the circle to start the game. Show all the objects(cards) on the board. Choose one object and ask "Do you have ____?" Everyone who has that card must change seats. The person in the middle sits down too. The last person standing without a seat is in the middle and chooses another object to ask. After awhile allow the person in the middle to choose 2 objects (or more if you decide). If the person yells, “train wreck” or "Do you have everything?" then everyone changes seats.

I try to come up with different activities and add them to whatever is in the textbook. Sometimes I do half of what's in the book and half I come up with it. So here are some activities for this lesson.

11-1: guess the dialogue. After listening to the first dialogue and asking a few questions, I ask Ss to repeat any phrases they heard.
Prep: Print slide number 2 so that you have the asnwers.
Play: When a students says one of the phrases, if it was part of the dialogue, click on the number and it will appear. If it takes you to another slide with a picture, that student gets a coupon. So it becomes a guessing game. Some of the phrases are too easy, which encourages the lower level Ss to participate.

11-2: play "go fish" with the cards from the textbook.

11-3: Whenever they "learn" new letters, I put the Ss in groups and have them come up with a list of words that start with each letter (I say "learn" because they already know all the letters by now). So for this lesson, there are 5 new letters, so we play 5 rounds. At the end of each round, I collect the piece of paper where they wrote their list, and count. The winner gets a coupon (or use whatever reward system you have). I usually give them 1min30secs, but you can modify this of course (I use the onlinestopwatch). I don't care about spelling to encourage the lower level Ss to participate. I also let them use their textbook, but I don't let them get out of their seats (otherwise you'll have Ss running around looking for words). For each round, I have them choose a different "writer". Tthe first time I played this game with the Ss, they went babanas for it! Simple, but it's a winner!

11-4: instead of the activity in the book, I made up a "Find your partner" game.
-Prep: Print and cut the squares from the "find your partner" doc.
-Each student gets one card.
-Without showing their cards to others, each student must find the person with the same pics using “do you have..” and answering “no I don’t have..” or “Yes, I have…” (if there is an odd amount of Ss, odd Ss gets coupon!)
-After finding partner, Ss have to put together a set using “do you have..” and answering “no I don’t have..” or “Yes, I have…”
-First set wins!
-Make sure to explain what a set is.
*Disqualified if show pics to others, and if I hear Korean

11-4: clap game

=)

Hey everyone. Looks like some great activities that teachers posted. Hopefully I can try some of them before the lesson is over.

Here is another activity. (See the .ppt attachment.) It's an information gap activity where partners practice speaking to each other. They have practically the same paper, but different items are missing on each one. They need to ask each other about the missing items on their paper.

Example:

A: "Do you have a pencil case?"
B: "Yes, I have a pencil case."

B: "Do you have a ruler?"
A: "No, I don't have a ruler."

Here is a PPT I used to practice the vocab. and then play a game for period 2.

The first part is practice. Ask "What do you have" and the students will answer "I have ____"

To slowly introduce how to play the game I first had the students look at the cards in the back of their book and then I held one to my forehead and said "I have _____." The students had to guess if what I said was true or a lie. You can also say "I don't have ____" and have them guess.

Then I had them pick 4 of the 8 cards to use and put their books away. Students had to do the same thing to each other only if they guessed 'true' or 'lie' correctly then they get to keep the card the student is holding to his/her forehead. The point is to try and collect all 8 different items.

Here's a board game I made for tomorrow.

To make it more interesting (and to slow the game down) I am telling my students that if they roll a 6 they lose their turn and if they roll a 5 they do not move but roll again. Hopefully it'll play out ok.
