What I tend to do is try and involve the other groups when playing those types of games. For example once a question has been selected I will ask everyone to read the question (or repeat it after me), "What do you want to on Friday?" then I will go to the team for an answer, check it's correct then get the class to ask the question again and get that single team to give their answer. I do not do this for every question because it can get tedious but certainly every other or every third question.

Also I try to add in extra things with pronunciation and get everyone practicing. Finally if for example they choose letter "D" I might as a sub game get them to write down in their teams as many words beginning with that letter as possible in 1 minute or as many jobs starting with that letter (or whatever to make it more relevant to the topic). Then the team with the most words (or the longest word or some other measure which I vary to keep it interesting and fairer) get some points.

I find doing the above gets more students involved and they get much more practice during the lesson at speaking. Hope this helps, I would be interested to hear of any other types of game too...

I have combined thomas orr and mark brown into one lesson for practicing key expressions: im upset / sad / angry

Three parts:

Why are you upset / I am upset because
Giving sympathy: Oh Im sorry, you will do better next time ...ect

To help one another:

We should _________ together, then we can play basketball


Asking for / Giving advice:
I __________ what should I do?
I think you should ________________


End is an activity where the students must make a comic strip using the key expresions we reviewed in the textbook and in the PPT. I have given my own version of the comic strip to give kids ideas.
Comic strip layout is also attached.

Does anyone have a Lesson/Review Game for Grade 2 (Chapters 10-12)? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Does anyone know of a decent review game for the lessons that is NOT a "Pick a letter/number then answer a question". I have played those games in class and they are great, but typically the teams not answering the question looses focus and the class gets a bit noisey.

I have 40 students in class (usually divide them into 8 teams) and I would like a game to play that reviews the past lessons, but keeps the students engaged during the whole game.

Thanks!

Hey stamerjam, the good folks at Eat your Kimchi have a template which might work

Yeah, I feel your pain with the 40 students thing. Not all of my classes are that large, but I do have bigger groups for after school with 35- 40 students. It's tough to give every one a chance to talk in 45 minutes even when the students are engaged in the activity.

Anyways, on here a while back someone posted a really good Tic-Tac-Toe game board. It's designed for 2 to 3 players. Basically, they try to get "o-mok" or 5 in a row. When they do that, they get one point. The player with the most points wins. But, how I told my students to play was the player who gets 5 in a row first, wins. Again, this isn't my template/game, but I got it off of here and have used it 3x (once with each of the grades 1,2, and 3) with pretty decent success. Not every one likes it, or gets into it, but it does offer a chance for everybody to talk and it's a little easier to give time to the ones who need it, or who aren't talking as the students have something to do. Also, I had some that just wouldn't play as well. For instance, they weren't sitting with their friends, so they weren't into the game. I just had them answer each square/question in the game on the other side of the sheet. Anyways, just a suggestion. I'll post the PPT I have to explain one and a copy of the game board. I laminated them and gave the students board markers to use, but you don't have to do that. Just print 'em out and let the students keep 'em if they want.

Here's the one I made using this really good template/game, so thanks to the  uploader of it. Unfortunately, I can't remember whose it was ahhh! Anyhow, it's for Grade 2 Lesson 12 "I wish...". They have to make correct sentences (e.g. I wish I could skate. / I wish I could skate like Kim Yuna.). Hope this helps.

Sorry this might be late.

Here is my review game for Grade 1 Lessons 10 - 12. (still teaching Lesson 12 to my Grade 2)

I used the Angry Bird template.

Thanks for the suggestions to my question before, I know I went ahead and did what I was asking not to do - but I will definitely keep in mind the suggestions for next time. For now I might make a rule that teams can only get a bird if they are quiet during the game.

Here's my Grade 1 review of Lesson 10 -12.

I made a review worksheet for them to do in teams and Angry Birds review game. I go over the worksheet on the board when most are almost finished and I go through some of the questions many students had wrong. It's a really good review and practice for them. For the classes I've done this with so far, the worksheet itself and going over the answers on the board has taken 35 minutes. You could speed it up and just go over it together with less individual work time.

Also, on the review worksheet, you need to add pictures to number 14 & 15. I just cut and taped two flashcards into mine (ex: a picture of two boys, one's fat/other's skinny). Just something that the kids can compare. 

My previous post about Angry Bird game was for my advanced grade 1 students (reviewing lesson 10-12).

Here is my review game for my low level students. I will either use this one or the advanced one depending on the class for my intermediates.

To keep the students listening and since it's right before exams,  I told each team that if they wrote down each answer to the assigned question from the game (and they were all correct) that team could get a piece of candy as well.

It worked for this game to keep the low level crazy classes quiet!

Hello all,

Here is my ppt for Grade 2 Lesson 12 "If the world were a village"
It combines both the speak out parts "I wish i could" and "I'm looking forward to".
I have included slides for introducing the expressions, the textbook dialogue, and I've added a few more slides to each part with my own situations for using the expressions, and two activities for each part.


I have also included a quick review of lesson 11's key expressions at the beginning, but those slides are from another teachers ppt which I used when we did lesson 11.

This is my first lesson plan upload to Waygook.org, hope you find it useful

Hey jaysoon,

I'm not showing a movie this time, but the last movie I showed was Remember the Titans. The students loved it. The first movie I played that the kids really got into. Before the movie started, I gave them a 15 minute quick history lesson and explanation of race in America (segregation and integration). I can't find my worksheet, but I have the ppt that I used.
