Really simple telepathy game. My kids can't enough of it. I use it as simple writing and speaking practice: The students have to read out every cue as it appears, and then they have to choose their answer and write it down. When I eliminate all the choices, the winners have to show me the correctly written down answer. Even a small one like this can kill 10-15 minutes if done correctly.

I used the Gangnam Style powerpoint template to make a game to review the key expressions and important words of the chapter.

Here is a hidden picture game for the first lesson. I had the students say: "He is a _______." when they guessed the picture. I played in teams...I uncovered one piece of the picture each time. Students guessed. If they were wrong, I uncovered one more piece and let the next team guess. If they guessed right they got a point. I had everybody repeat the sentence once the answer was uncovered. It's a pretty fast game so it only takes up about 5 minutes or so.

Attached a quick warm-up PPT with some funny pics about jobs for my kids, using the phrases from the book "What does he/she do?" and "He/She is a ____." Hope it helps someone!

Here's a survey sheet I made.

Use it, share it, modify it...

This powerpoint is funny! Thank you very much!

Question: is the only correct spelling firefighter without the space? The web seems to confirm it but in the book it is spelled as fire fighter.

EBCIncheon · « **Reply #10 on:** October 16, 2012, 04:56:55 PM »

Fire fighter is ok. less common though. I would always use firefighter but it's good that the students be taught both

salgu · « **Reply #11 on:** October 16, 2012, 06:10:24 PM »

Here is a BANG game.
I made 5 sets and had students play in groups of 5.
One student asks another student: What does he do? They pick up a card and read the answer. That student asks the next student etc....The student with the most cards wins.
But if you draw a BANG card, you lose all your cards and put them back at the bottom of the pile.

Make sure the students know that if you get a bang card, you can still keep playing. Some thought they were out and stopped playing. I guess you could play that way, but if they stay in they practice more and still have a chance to win.

The biggest difference I see (granted, I only teach 5th grade), is that 6th grade also includes "I want to be a ..." The 5th grade lesson focuses on "What does he do?", introducing jobs and what that job entails.

It's pretty similar to the old 6th grade book's Lesson 7: My Father is a Pilot:
http://waygook.org/index.php?topic=1321

The first page of that thread has the "People Song" too.

Ok, I don't teach this grade or book, but seeing this topic on the Waygook lists was just too tempting. I have two funny videos on the subject of fire-fighters which might be useful as a warmer before the start of the class or to break up a boring lesson.

Just for Laughs prank videos.

Police officer versus firefighter - Don't ticket my fire truck

Firefighters break for lunch instead of saving woman

1. An intro PPT reviewing vocab (I borrowed, tweaked and added more slides)
2. A jeopardy game (thanks Sheila for the original)
3. A pass the pencil case game
4. A handout (4xpage)

Here's a non-PPT game I came up with from the idea here:

http://www.waygook.org/index.php/topic,2542.msg30391.html#msg30391

I'm calling it "DO or DRAW."

Basically, one student chooses a card.
Blue (word) cards he/she has to DO (mime)
Red (sentence) cards he/she has to DRAW on the board
Their team must guess with a full sentence. For DO cards, they must say He/she depending on the student.

(These directions are also included at the top of the document.)

I gave 10 points if they guessed the correct sentence on the first try, and minus one for each extra try to get it right.

If the volunteer student didn't understand the English on the card, my co-teacher whispered the Korean translation, which was also minus one point from the start.

Love the game, but none of the sound files seem to be working for me. Any ideas? Do you have a link to the original ppt?

I'm a bit lost here don't know where the problem could lie :(

Are you going to make the worksheet also? I always used yours, I would hate to change now. Thanks for all your work. I have no teacher's book so you putting it on here is so helpful!

A collection of some materials I currently have.

The first is a simple vocabulary ppt for an introduction to lesson 12. Mostly just occupations but there's quite a lot to choose from. Got this from my co-teacher, so check the grammar on some of the later ones, as we never got round to teaching them all.

The second is the hot potato game for the reading section. Although I haven't quite yet figured out the best way to split the class for it, I'd recommend it highly for my little 'uns eyes were glued to the secrren for it! Instructions are on the ppt too.

The third is another reading game, a series of written clues to elicit the job title. Useful as a warmer only really. I modified it a little but its really only a re-post from an older 6th grade thread! Cheers for that, whoever you are!

If you need any clarifications please don't hesitate to contact me...

One more - a mystery box style bomb game for warp up.

Discovered a really neat way to get all students involved though. The students have to write the answer on the whiteboard. The team who picked the letter has first dibs on the answer. However, if they get it wrong it immediately passes to the first team that puts their boards into the air (all group members have to do it.)

That gets students working a lot more then just waiting for their turn whilst getting sleepy. When a team slips up they can't wait to pounce.

Plus the rather erratic scoring system of this one seems to really excite my students. You might need a giant dice too for a few answers.

Can't recommend this game enough. Played it last semester and they still ask me for it almost every week. This is the first time since last semester so I hope they enjoy it, and you too!

It hit's the target language perfectly, too, so don't worry about that! (But we included professor, which you may need to pre-teach or omit!)
