I have a lot of students who have eaten or somehow misplaced their books, so instead of punishing them, I do something much more harsh...project the book on the screen.  This also helps speed up the speaking sections and keeps noses out of the books.
Here are some scans of the speaking sections for grade 2:

So true >>
They lose or misplace their book and generally lose focus (interest) on the "speaking" sections.  I'm just worried about these students who don't seem to care about not having a textbook. It's almost the mid-terms again but they just don't care about school, yet they have to sit through these lessons.

Hi,

I have not got to those lessons in the text book yet.  Please can you share your ideas on what you did for grade 1 lesson 8. I have not looked at the next lessons.  Will look at them and think of some ideas...

I'm doing a Hot Potato review game next week for 3rd years. Here's my question list. It covers Ch. 6-7 speaking and grammar as well as Ch. 8 grammar.

Thank you from saving my 3rd graders from certain boredom next week, ha ha.  This activity looks fabulous.

Thanks so much!! This one worked well.  I tweaked it a bit for my kids but a good bit of information.  Can you post more?

Lesson 9, level 2 is a weird chapter. I haven't been able to nail down the overall theme or lesson to be learned in this chapter! If anyone is on this chapter, can you please help me out?!

I'm not on that chapter yet, but looking at the notes I took from the Teacher's Guide, it's about  giving advice/being angry at someone and there's something about reported speech.

Review Fruit Ninja games for chapter 6-7

Grade 1: Asking permission, asking again, talking on the phone, and talking about illnesses. There's two of them in case you have higher level students who breeze through the first one.

Hi jaybird!  This fruit ninja game looks great!  I was trying to figure out how to use it and I had a little trouble figuring out how to get a correct answer to transition to a slide that says one of the fruits.  Do I have to connect them myself or am I supposed to click something other than the check mark to show the fruit that a correct answer earns?  Thanks a lot!

You've got to enable macros and after you click the check, it'll show a prize fruit. I deleted the instruction slide, which I should've left, but you can download a blank template from the powerpoint games section. It's the ones made by Daejon.

Hey. I made some jeopardy type games and a board game for review before midterms. It covers: Grade 1 Chapters 6,7/ Grade 2 Chapters 6,7 / Grade 3 Chapters 6,7. Just copy and paste the links. I will post the high level Grade 1 and high level grade 3 tonight after I finish making it.
 Grade 1: Low level: http://www.superteachertools.com/boardgame/online/game11891.php
 Grade 2: low level: http://www.superteachertools.com/jeopardy/usergames/Sep201139/game1317017467.php
               high level: http://www.superteachertools.com/jeopardy/usergames/Sep201138/game1316995495.php
 Grade 3 low/med. level: http://www.superteachertools.com/jeopardy/usergames/Sep201139/game1317020545.php

These game require whiteboards per team. I count down slow or fast depending on the question. For low level I accept not perfect sentences if everyone is a little off. High level must have perfect sentences. Jeopardy is self explanatory. I let one team choose the question, everyone answers at the same time. Board game I do the same.. It is simple, yet, effective. I hope it helps - let me know and I will continue to post stuff like this.

Jaybird...awesome ppt!

Check your final slide of the Rocket team, there was no hyperlink back to slide 6 that I could find.

Again, cool ppt!

Hello Everyone!

This post is very delayed and probably won't be of much use to the majority of the teachers that use this board.  I just feel a bit guilty using everyone else's great material and not contributing anything on my own.  So this is some of the material that I created for Lesson 6, hopefully some of these lessons will help out a few newbies that come across this website next year.

This first lesson is for Grade 1, regarding the word "will", I recommend you save time by loading the youtube clips in advance.  I borrowed the will.ppt so I can't take credit for that, thanks to whoever created it!

This lesson is for G2 and involves the target language "Before I ____ed, I ______ed" and "After I ___ed, I ___ed" on pg 112 (Language close-up) from chapter 6
