I'm adding a game I did for G2, L3 on invitations using "would you like to..." . Unfortunately, it's all paper based and I do not have any card templates on my computer for what I did!

Materials:
On bright green index cards, I wrote different invitations, such as "Would you like to come to my party?" etc. With more time or more advanced kids you could try having them write their own invitation questions on the cards instead of giving them. I made 2 invitation cards for each team, but of course you could choose more or less.

Using this website: http://cambridgeenglishonline.com/Flashcard_maker/
I made 8 cards with "yes" replies from the book for each team.  I also made 8 cards with "no replies". Since there's only so many ways to say yes or no, I repeated the replies twice for the "yes" cards and 4 times for the "no" cards (i.e. each team gets 4 cards that say "Sorry, I can't" and 4 that say "Sorry, maybe next time")

In total, each team gets 16 cards. Be sure to number the card sets on the back with the team numbers--this is important for later in the game.

Rules
-Divide the class into teams and give each team a set of yes and no cards.
-Choose 2 students from each team to be the "inviters" for their team. Explain that these students must visit all of the other teams in the class and invite them to whatever is written on the card. They must collect as many "yes" replies as they can from other teams in the allotted time.
-The rest of the team must stay at their table or section of the classroom. They are responsible for deciding who to give their "yes" and "no' cards to. When they are invited by another team's student they must say what is on their "yes" or "no" card, not just hand it to them. Ex: Team 1 student to Team 3 Student: "Would you like to eat dinner with me?" Team 3 Student: "Sorry, maybe next time."

-Here's the trick: A team CANNOT count their own "yes" cards as part of their score. They can only get points from cards they have received from other teams. This is why it is important to label your card sets with numbers and assign the same numbers to the teams.

Note: When choosing the students who will go around doing the inviting, I recommend picking out the kids who don't ever participate, or tend to be troublemakers. It's a great way to get them involved and give them a sense of responsibility.

I've only done it with one quite low level class, and I'd say it was a hit! The majority participated well, and it looked like they had fun.

I found out that lesson 3 is going to be on my students' midterm...even though the students supposedly haven't started that lesson yet in their regular English classes ??? anyway, here's what I have for it.  I've started the first part of it with some of my classes and it's gone okay so far.  My students are intermediate level. 

Slide 8:
incredible story about a boy who "sees" via echolocation, though the visual of him putting his glass eyes in might disturb your students.  I only showed the first 3 or 4 minutes of this because the latter half of the video is dialogue-heavy.

Slide 9:
"Ice" man. Again, showed only about a minute or 2 of this.  They get the idea pretty quickly.  "Crazy man!"

Slide 10: 
World's smallest bodybuilder.  I just showed this until the title credits.  Some of my students recognized him from Korean TV!

Slide 12 is just a video of Nelson Muntz from the Simpsons going "ha ha!" available here:

At the end of the powerpoint I'll give students the attached worksheet, based on page 57 in the text.  I plan to do a "Guess Who" style activity where I'll read off some of what the students have written, and have their classmates try and guess who it is.  I'm not sure how to turn it into a proper game with a reward, though.  Any suggestions?

Mario review games:
What I did for each of these lessons was go back though Real-Life Scene and Communication Spotlight for all three lessons so far then used these games at the end of the period to eat up the last 15-20 minutes.
For the grade 1s I used some of the questions from the Halloween game posted earlier.

One correction, in the grade 2 .pptx on slide 21 you should delete the word "thing." Not sure why I typed it.

And for clarification, if you can't figure it out yourself:
"1. Review 1-3 game.pptx" is Grade 1
"2. Review 1-3 game.pptx" is Grade 2
"3. Review 1-3 game.pptx" is Grade 3

Attached is the PowerPoint I used for Grade 3 Lesson 3.

Review for Grade 2, lessons 1 & 2.

The PPT goes over introducing others, giving and accepting apologies, taking orders, etc.  There are some open answer questions, fill-in-the-blanks, multi-choice questions, etc.  I also made a bomb game with the annoying orange template but I never ended up using it.

Here's is a small game I did to teach the difference between "have" and "has"

This does have a personal slide in it though, so make sure you change it!

For Grade 2 Lesson 4 Why do birds sing? I want to give them a random video which I thought would be very interesting!

It's a video of the Lyre Bird singing its song! I thought it would be a random nice start to the lesson. Still working on my ppt. but here's the link if your interested.

Does anyone have any ideas for chapter 4 grade 3? Why doesn't this textbook have clear topics/grammar topics?  :'(

Possibly the English textbook should be in ENglish  ???
