Here is an idea for the first lesson, Go fish.

In groups of 4-6, have 4 students remove the cards from the back of the book (totatl of 48) and then shuffle and give 3 cards to each student, the rest in a center pile.

Player asks another student "I'm looking for ____". If the student has it they give it over, if not the player chooses one ard from the center pile

When they get doubles they put them face down in front of themselves.

If a player is out of cards and there are still cards in the center, he takes one and continues to play.

The winner is the one with the most doubles .

Here is a "I'm looking for..." forehead sentence game.

Students guess what they are looking for. They all have a piece of paper taped to their forehead and when 2 students meet up they talk, one starts with, "May I help you?" And the other says, "Yes, I'm looking for...(boots)," if that is on their head the first students can say, "here you are," or, "That's 5,000 won" or something like that. Maybe $5 or something, you decide. Then the other student can guess too. If the first students' sentence doesn't say boots, then they can say, sorry, we don't have that. Or something along those lines. After trying and missing, students have to move on to a new student. Don't let them stay with the same one and keep asking over and over.

Attached: 9 sentences for foreheads. Copy as many as you need and get tape ready!

Here's a sentence search. It's similar to a word search but with sentences. It's also more difficult so this might be best as group work or for higher level students.

Here's an activity that can take an entire class session.  I combined lessons 2 and 3, my kids hate the chants and I agree with them, to open up a period so they could just practice a practical version of the key expressions.

Market Day Activity

The class is split into two groups.  The students move all their desks to one side of the room and make a line of 'shops' out of some of the desks.  Split the students into halves or thirds to decide how many desks are 'shops'.

The students sitting at the desks are the sellers/shopkeepers.  They each receive a single type of good/card to sell.

The students standing are the buyers/shoppers.  They each receive pretend money.  (I already had dollars printed and a surprising number of my students have managed to lose their books.  If yours are more responsible you could always use the Korean won on page 219.)

The shopkeepers' goal is to get more money than any of the other shopkeepers.  The shoppers' goal is to get one of each 'good'.

The goods are represented by a set of cards showing food items and school supplies  (I already had these made.  I used this lesson to review and introduce new clothing vocabulary so if you have to make cards that might be a good place to start.  BarryFunEnglish or MEC or GenkiEnglish should all have image sets you could use.), all vocabulary the students should know.  There will not be enough cards for every student to get a complete set, I had 10 or 12 cards per item.

Sample Dialogue: 
SK:  Hello.  May I help you? 
S:  Yes, I'm looking for (object).  How much are they/is it? 
SK:  They're seven dollars. (I used dollars as I already had copies of them.)  (Bargaining?) 
S:  That's fine. 
SK:  Here you are. 
S:  Thank you.  Goodbye. 
SK:  Goodbye. 

They can also choose to bargain IN ENGLISH.  I gave them a sample example of this as well.       
S:  That's too much.  How about five dollars. 
SK:  No.  Six dollars? 
S:  Okay.  Etc.

Depending on whether the class is split into halves or thirds switch the roles with enough time for every student to be a shopkeeper.

Monitor for English usage.  Penalize the student $1 for each time they use Korean.

Note:  This is also a good time to reinforce their ability to line up in an orderly fashion.  I think every person can use some queueing reinforcement now and again.

Here's a quick power point I made for period one. It explains the grammar and has some practice.

First of all, thanks to rockiavelli for the great Market Day Activity idea. It was among the best lessons I've ever taught. I've attached some materials that I used for the activity.

The only difficult thing about this game is the preparation. I simplified it greatly by making the students do most of the work.

I printed two pages of fake money for each Buyer (half the class, 40,000 won each) and one page of items for each seller (also half of the class, 16 each). The first class cut everything out in about 2 minutes and we had enough materials to finish the next 6 classes.

When it was time to switch roles, I collected the money and items in two separate containers and then just gave each kid a handfull of money or items and asked them to take the appropriate amount. I found that the kids were pretty honest and didn't run into any problems. Then I collected any extra money or items they had after counting out their share and gave it to any kids who were missing anything. The whole process took about 3 minutes. At this point the sellers each had a random assortment of items (not necessarily 16 different cards) but that worked even better than everyone having everything.

I only had to take money from 3 kids for speaking Korean, and from a couple more for running or yelling. It worked well as a class management tool.

I would recommend to have a few extra pages of money and items printed out because the kids are bound to lose some.

After every student had completed both roles, we were usually left with about 5-10 minutes. I used the sentence search that leejs posted (Thank you!) and/or this Gogo's Adventures with English video:



for the last few minutes.

To get everything ready for the next class, I usually just asked a couple of students who come to class early to help me count the items and money. Then everything was ready to go!

My co teach just told me i have to do a open class on this lesson.  It looks so boring.  Does anyone have some ideas on how I can spice things up.
