How do I add to the lesson list?

Hre's what I did for the 3rd lesson Caterpillar in a cave...

Slightly different, I just focused on helping others.  I also tend to elicit responses from the students and write them on the board.

I think this is really great!  There are definitely some ideas here that I can use.  Thank you!

Sorry forgot to add the board race...though it's nothing special.

I hope your students like this. I assume that you have been teaching from speaking section of the book, and will be familiar with the grammar points from those sections. Therefore, the worksheet is supposed to be self-explanatory. Good Luck!

this is brilliant. thanks so much for posting it. are you planning to have the students complete the worksheet from memory, or have them consult their books?

best.

Also, I showed my kids this human giant video to go along with lesson 3 , LETS  GO!

I'm having a horrid time trying to teach the 2nd Grade this week. I don't know what about this chapter they don't like. I looked at 2 lessons posted here, seems like your classes are pretty advanced. My classes don't like  any hardwork, anything that requires them to think.

I just wanted to let y'all know that you are pretty lucky if you can get through these lessons. I'm jealous !

Which lesson are you on?  I'm still on lesson 2 and have been using this: http://waygook.org/index.php/topic,5494.0.html

Divided the class into teams, and gave them white boards to answer during the "quiz" portions - it's gone over really well.  That .rar file includes a version for higher and for lower levels.  Surely your kids must respond during food lessons, right?  Usually even my bad kids are interested because they're always hungry! 

Ok, I taught with G1 and G2 books last year. This is my first year with G3. The "advice" phrases for L3 G3 are the SAME as the "advice" they learned in G2 L8!!

For any of the others facing this, how are you dealing with it? I don't want to just do the same things they did last year...

So far I have a game where I tape a paper with a problem to their back and they have to walk around getting advice from people until they guess what it is. Still, it seems kind of boring.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

I posted previously how hard it was to teach my 2nd Grade.

So i rearranged some things. My 2nd Grade level 1 did okay with their lesson. It was a group activity. Maybe I should post it.

Then my 2nd Grade level 3, still thought the lesson I custom made for them, so basic, even my 1st Grade can do it, still thought it was hard. Any who, I ask them for suggestions; What they would like to do?
Pokemon came up, dragon ball.. But the funniest when I asked for a song
"sex, money, honey" ?!!! I was like where the flip did that come from!! lol! That boy NEVER speaks a darn word of English.

But here I sit looking for this inspirational video on Youtube

Hello! I am going to do a couple of review lessons before mid term exams on lessons 1, 2 and 3 for Grade 2 and 3. Does anyone have any ideas for good games or activities that will work for reviews?

i am going to do some of the activities from the pink book that i omitted the first go-round. afterwards, i'll focus on the proper use of the target language with the communication spotlight section. i am hoping to avoid using any powerpoint quizzes, no matter how jazzed up they may be, since they have no learning utility. also, i don't want to deal with the kids frothing at the mouth and the general din that happens when you play a powerpoint game at a boy's middle school.

 if you find the activities in the pink book lacking or if you enjoy doing more work, i guess you could make your own. personally, i think the book is usually pretty useful, if you tweak the activities to your environment.

best.

For fun review games I recommend hot potato for 1st years and Kaboom for 2nd and 3rd years. Kaboom has never gone over well with my firsties, I don't know why.

Anyway, here's how I play hot potato--it's rather complicated:

Get some fun colored paper and crumple it into a ball right in front of the kids. Ask them what it is. I guarantee they won't say potato. Explain that No! It's a potato. A HOT potato! I like to bounce it back and forth making noises like it's burning me. They think it's hilarious. Anyway, onto the rules. Play a kpop song, during which they pass their potatoes around their separate teams. If there are tables, one team per table etc. When the song stops, the students holding the potato MAY OR MAY NOT have to answer a question for points. I've added an element of gambling into the game. I bring 2-3 large plastic dice out and ask the co-teacher to roll all of them. Beforehand, I've assigned each team a number (6 teams total, see below for alt. if you have more or less teams). If their number is rolled they have to answer (a different question for each team). If the same number comes up on both or all dice the team gets double or possible triple points for their question.Sometimes, I allow the teams to steal incorrect questions by raising their hands. Fastest team gets to answer. Team with the most points wins.

ALT: If you have more or less than 6 teams, you can just use 1 die and have all odd teams answer when an odd number comes up and all even teams answer when an even team comes up. Likewise, you could use heads or tails on a coin.

This game is a BIG hit and a great way to pass an entire class. Just make sure you prepare LOTS and LOTS of questions! I you run out, just let the songs play longer :p

On to KABOOM. A great game of revenge and sabotage that I learned from the Eat Your Kimchi folk at GEPIK orientation last year.

Make paper strips with questions. Make other strips with the words KABOOM!!! on them. Put them all together in a box or bag that the kids can't see in.  Divide the class into teams. Each team takes turns picking a question out of the bag and answering it. The other teams always have the chance to steal on an incorrectly answered question. I choose the team who raises their hands the fastest. Any team that gets KABOOM!!! can wipe out the points of any team of their choice. The key to making this game fun is making a big deal when some gets KABOOM. Say it in a big deep voice. Hum the funeral march and give a big wave good-bye to the team that's just been wiped out. This game has been very successful with my older classes, but again, I don't recommend it for 1st year.

Enjoy!
