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.

Let me try one more time to upload this*

This midterm review game is based on the Halloween game posted earlier by another waygooker.

I changed it a little bit to suit my students in the 1st and 2nd grade.

I noticed that, although we are doing Mark Brown, my 1st Grade Lesson 2 was "My cousin from America" while most of you were doing "My twin sister".. So I had to change it from the original one posted.

My 2nd graders like to be spoonfed so you might find that game a little to easy too.

I hope you find them useful.


I would also like to thank the person who designed the game originally. A lot of work went into this game. Thank you.

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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLziFMF4DHA
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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=madoDvtKEes&feature=related
"Ice" man. Again, showed only about a minute or 2 of this.  They get the idea pretty quickly.  "Crazy man!"

Slide 10:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Mx3pScvlwM
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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX7wtNOkuHo

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?

Thanks for the lesson karenology, it's awesome.

I also added Kim Ung-Young, he is a Korean super-genius,Beethoveen  and Helen Keller to my presentation.

I am going to play one half of the class vs. the other ( i might do boys vs. girls). The one side will get three chances to guess who it is and will get a point if they do it right. It is exam time, so I might just give the students a candy if they get the question right.

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

Born This Way - on being unique

Today's Words: Superstars, unique 독특한, disability 장애, teased 괴롭히다, born 태어난.

I took the Born This Way lesson, made it a bit simpler, and threw in a ton of Korean. Besides the listening activity, the students will make little "I'm unique because ----" self portraits to decorate the room.

Video used: http://www.youtube.com/embed/xG0wi1m-89o

EDIT: Updated all the attachments, especially the Korean handout with the correct lyrics (my first one was off by a lot!). The circular handouts that I used for the students to fill in are the PDF file. This lesson went very well but three thoughts:

1. My lesson is for a very mixed class. If you have high level students, check out this page for more complex uses of Lady gaga's song: http://waygook.org/index.php/topic,6166.0.html
2. On the "Orientation" slide I would ask my students "Who is in the picture?" to which someone almost always called out"GAY!" and there was some giggling. Once they stopped laughing, I would point at the word 'unique' that I have on the board  (along with the rest of today's words) and say something like- "Yes, they are gay! Gay is _____?"  and they will all yell 'UNIQUE!!' LGBT stuff is kind of closeted  (:P) in Korea, but none of my co's had an issue with this lesson, and the students understand that we shouldn't tease some for being unique.
3. Ask your students to describe how Pikacu is unique - what he looks like, what he likes, and what his hobbies are. That slide went over very very well!

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.
Please click "Report to moderator" for posts that show harassment, fighting, rudeness, or which otherwise go against waygook's general terms and conditions.  Thanks for your assistance!


I think i'm a little ahead of everyone else - only two weeks to each chapter may have done that - but here is my ppt for Grade 2 Lesson 4 - Why do birds sing? Not hugely chapter related but it's close enough. Credit to the person who originally posted this and I just edited it a bit. Enjoy!

So I asked my co-teacher about the lesson topics for Grade 3 Lesson 4. It's thus:

Communication Spotlight:

A: Asking and answering if something is clear or not
B: Thinking about an answer
C: Admiration

to cover a three week period

The topics are in Korean under Communication Spotlight. Ask your co-teacher to translate it for you.
