Grade 2 Lesson 6 from the old thread.

Grade 2 Lesson 6

This game is called Guess Who which is meant to expand on the adjectives used in this lesson.

Make sure you explain the directions well or have your co-teacher translate some of it or the students may get confused.

My classes have to 2 weeks per lesson. I generally spend the first week in the text book and play a small game. The second week I review and play a bigger game. This lesson was meant for the second week of Lesson 6.

The first part of the power point is review, the second part they play the game. Then the last four slides is a kind of formative test that I ask at the end of the game.

I printed out and lamenated about 40 sheets of the game board, but if you want you can just put it up on the screen and have students mentally mark off which mystery character is not their partners, but I thought it would be more fun if they all had their own. Plus they get to use dry erase markers to make the X's.

Usually the game will only take 5-10min, but the explaining takes the most time so you can have the students play multiple times with each other. Make sure they speak in English!

Forgot to mention that I did not make the review....I found that somewhere else on here and combinded it with my guess who game. Enjoy!

That Guess Who game from eatyourkimchi worked great for me! I owe the school secretary something for all the laminating she had to do, but the students enjoyed it a lot! Plus this is the kind of thing that's bound to come up again and again for different levels etc.

Here's my contribution for the first speak out section. A presentation that explains excuses and then we play a game. I show them a picture of something bad they've done and then in teams, they write an excuse on their whiteboards. Then they show their board and read it out loud to the class when called upon.

If they have the same answer as any other team they don't get any points. If their excuse sucks they don't get any points. Otherwise each good response gets a point and then I give out a bonus point to my favourite answer.

I ended up actually using a simple bomb game adapted from a previous teacher's Powerpoint to teach describing people.  My students seemed to really like it.  I'll post it here and explain the whole lesson.  I originally had a Powerpoint to teach vocabulary related to describing people, but early in the week I found that students actually had a large vocabulary for this and seemed pretty bored. 

So my new lesson focused on matching adjectives with "is," "has," or "is wearing."  The whole lesson looked like this:
1. Warmup having the students describe me - they liked this, especially when they got to say things like "bald" or "big eyes/ears."  I think they thought they were getting away with calling me names :)  I guided them to make sure they described all the categories I wanted.  I wrote all the words on the board and then got them to shout out whether each word goes with "is," "has," or "is wearing."

2. We played a quick speed quiz Powerpoint game, where I showed a picture of a celebrity and one of the verbs above.  In 5 teams of 8, each group had 1 minute to write down all the adjectives that fit (I'm attaching the Powerpoint and the worksheet).

3. We played a bomb game where each team had to make full sentences describing 5 celebrities that were on the board (you can obviously change the celebrities).  For the "Anything Else" category, I just let them throw out any descriptive sentences they chose.  After the first round I let them do 2 sentences for 2x the points.

Good luck!  I hope it's useful for somebody.

We played this game in teams.  Each team took turns sending one student up to the front.  The student stood with their back to the TV and their teammates had to make them guess who it was.  I reviewed the names of the Harry Potter and Avengers characters beforehand because I found a lot of students had trouble remembering the names.

I also had them write comics using the target language and included an example of my own. When you print out the comic template, slides 2 and 4 use the right target language - I repurposed this template from one of my first grade lessons.

Here's a review game for the lesson - thanks to the op for the template.
