Teams each get chances to find two cards that match. Once they find a match, to get points, they'll have to make a sentence including both the cause and the result: "I ate too much, so I got a stomachache." I started to play this with my grumpy 9:00 a.m. Monday class, and they seemed to be getting into it. If you play this, look at the slides first and make sure you know which cards are a match in advance. Thanks karenology! I liked this game so much I used it for an open class. The students love it and I plan to use it again. I used it to reinforce a lesson on regret based on Grade 3 Lesson 5 talking points: "should have" and "shouldn't have".I added a "How to play" slide as well as an extra slide at the end that has an arrow linking back to the previous slide since I sometimes click the wrong place when trying to remove or replace a card. A lot of work was put into this one due to the open class! Enjoy!

Grade 3 Lesson 5: Expressing RegretA simple PPT that reviews Cause, Result, and Regret. I used it to quiz low level students on identifying sentences. Of course, regret is the easiest since they just have to look for "should have" or "shouldn't have" so those are identified first.I also reviewed past tense and past perfect forms of verbs with the worksheet. I gave them 10 minutes to finish on their own then put the key up on the screen and reviewed together.
Lesson 6 - Grades 1 and 2Not all of my lesson plans were successful so I will just share with you what worked best.I introduced Lesson 6 with a modified PPT on telephone conversations. For the practice dialogue (slides 14-22), I had each student read one line. The rest we read as a class. Pop stars work well for getting the attention of kids who just came back from break ::)I then had the students find a partner or group of 3-4 (depending on their level) and handed each group the cut up phone strips and phone sheet with blank speech bubbles. After they had placed the dialogue in the order they believed to be correct, we reviewed the correct order as a class. I then gave them glue sticks and have them practice the dialogue with their partner(s).My low level students really enjoyed the garfield telephone activity I did as a warm-up. I can't take credit for this WS either, I just modified it. I put it up on the screen and we did it as a class. Page 2 is the answer key.My upper level students enjoyed a WS I found on cellphones (That's Gr8!). Afterwards I taught them abbreviations and played a PPT quiz game. As you can probably tell, I find most of my materials on this site and modify them for my students. Thanks for sharing! Hope these help! -K
The class ends with a phone call game. One student is volunteers to leave the room for a moment. Hide a piece of candy with another student and invite the other student back into the room. That person can make 3 (more or less depending on class size) "phone calls" to students in the class by saying "May I or Can I speak to (student's name). If the student receiving the call doesn't have the candy, they say "Sorry, you've got the wrong number." If they do have the candy, they say "This is he/she speaking". If the student finds the candy, they get to eat it. If they don't they get a stamp (my school uses stamps/signatures) as a reward. The student hiding it also gets a stamp.
I lengthened an existing ppt on G1 Lesson 6 - Telephone Conversations. I thought someone else might find i useful!I also included a lucky wheel game (also edited another Waygookian's ppt for this one. Had to change the scoring, there were too many minus points and I changed a couple questions. My kids hated it till I changed it =/).Hope these help someone out there!
Grade 1 lesson 8PPT and accompanying worksheet review basic shopping expressions reading numbers, as well as basic colors (it's easy, but it's sometimes good to boost students' confidence). Again, I probably spent way too long putting together the worksheet. Following the last slide (read, listen, watch) we watched the video from the dialog. Enjoy!
Grade 2 lesson 8 directions james bond bomb gamesame as grade 1 lesson 9, but slightly different phrasing.
