Guessing game.
Put the kids into teams and show each group one slide, removing one section more after each sentence guess. Award 5 points if they guess the sentence after one section removed, and one less point for each extra section removed until they get the correct answer (it's up to you how lenient you are obviously - but maybe teach them 'ate' and 'rode' before the game...or delete these slides).

Winning team has the most points at the end.

I haven't double-checked it yet, but it's easy to fix if something is wrong with it...

Hi all...

Here are translations of the sentences that were posted in an earlier post. These are the main ones for this unit. I got a Korean buddy of mine to translate them. I usually use them in games and activities where I give the Korean sentence and the students have to translate to English (----- please say in English---) OR I make a worksheet so that they do written translations as well, which I then mark and give back. It really gets them thinking.
Hope this helps  :)
Cheers

While preparing to use the board game posted by Sallyafc I decided it might be nice to run through a quick PPT with the students using the same images so they would be ready to use the correct English phrases on their own.

Also, while looking at the Rock, paper, scissors game posted by amycock, I also thought it would be nice to include a PPT introducing the images.

So, here are those files.

Hi,

I've gone bog-eyed at the minute so I'm gonna proof read the materials at the weekend. I'll upload them in any event.

The 'complete the sentences' ppt is just a short activity that I made that hopefully is a bit different and interesting. You just click on the words as the students put them in order. The brackets are hints for the students. The later slides are a simple guess what activity. The end slide was taken from another ppt presentation posted here so cheers for that.

The what's missing game is simple enough. Just when the students guess what is missing by speaking the sentence, I will ask did you have a good weekend/how was your weekend and the class should respond together. The original slides were taken from a 6th grade game but I deleted all the content. Some pictures I took from an earlier posting, so once again cheers for that. The rest I did for my winter camp but I've edited it to suit this lesson. So I need to double check everything is kosher. But as I say too bog-eyed at the minute.

Anyway here's the materials.

I played this game today and my students quite enjoyed it. The only thing is it takes a bit of work to print, laminate and cut the word cards. I made 6 sets so it was a bit of work but I think it's worth it! There's a PPT that goes along with the game. Before the game, I reviewed the vocabulary words and the past tense with my students (using the PPT), then we looked at some pictures and I had them tell me what the corresponding sentence was and then we played the game. For the game, they just have to look at the picture and make a sentence using the word cards.

Some key sentences and vocabulary, with a crossword puzzle on the back.  Nothing fancy.

This is a familiar game I sometimes play with my students. Don't play this too often-or else you may abuse it. But when I do, I nearly always have them all excited. It's a "Luck" Game. Enjoy

I've edited Paul's "went" review activity to be Seoul-centric.  I've also changed the title to "did you have a good vacation?"

I tweaked the animations on Lisa86's luck game to add to the suspense.  Now the "change points" face is hidden behind a box until you click on it, like with the lucky "yes I did" picture, so the kids don't know what they're getting. 

I also changed "did you have a good yesterday?" to "did you have a good day yesterday?"  It still feels a bit awkward, though, so you might want to change those sentences to something entirely different.
