Simple 1st/2nd period BINGO.
My answers were not accurate, I just drew a number (1 or 2) out of a box and that determined my answer.

Daniel Radcliffe raps "Alphabet Aerobics" on The Tonight Show. Pretty awesome stuff.
Using this as a motivation video and possibly teaching it to my students if they have time. There are two versions of the youtube video, one with the interview, and one with just the rap, that has the words on screen. Also attached is a lyrics sheet.

Comparative Olympics

Thank you to the original poster for this activity. I just spiffed it up, and included enough challenges for one example and 15 pairs of students. I will split the class into two teams, and have each team send one student to the front for each challenge, before they see what the challenge is. The whole class will ask the comparative question, the two students will "compete" and the winning team will answer.

It might be worth bringing a die (who is luckier...) and a ruler (whose hair is longer...) with you to class.

If your students are higher-level than mine, you might want to edit the ppt so that after a few challenges, students can only see the comparative word need to create the sentence around, it using the picture for clues.

These are logic puzzles for the reading section - I've taken a couple of things from other posters and then added some story-sums. It was run as a group activity.

I'm so tired of this lesson...

I made a lyric handout for the song Anything You Can Do - Annie Get Your Gun (print double sided) and found two cartoon awesome video clips you can use besides the regular song.
Here are the links to all three:

This lesson worked well. Here is what my coteacher and I did. First I asked students to raise their right arm/left arm. Then I quickly told them raise your right arm now raise your left arm and made a game if it. I then showed them the Make the letter "L" with both of your hands trick and explained that when you are little your parents teach you that trick. Next I measured the girls arms and my coteacher measured the boys arms.We only measured the right arms and explained they should be the same. I wrote down my girl's lengths on the board. When they are finished I asked them how to say some of the numbers on the board and then randomly asked different students, "How long is your arm?" I then found out who has the longest arms for both the girl and the boys. Next my coteacher read the Read&Think section with the students. Then use the ppt to have them read out loud again. She then has them take turns reading one by one, sentence by sentence. After we finished reading we had them hit their shoulder and we measured their right arms again. Do the workbook and then finally at the end we found out about other "body secrets."

Top Trumps comparison card game.

You'll need to spend quite a bit of time laminating and cutting the cards, but its worth it because all my students loved this. The PPT explains the rules and practices comparative forms, which is important because otherwise they'll just play it in Korean like any other card game. That's the most difficult thing to enforce, so I suggest having some penalty if they speak Korean or don't use the target grammar.
