Here is the Prezi link to my lesson explaining about various types of parties. It also has a bit of countable/uncountable nouns and an over-the-top ESL phone dialogue parody.

The pass the bomb game worked out very well in my first class this week, but I'll see how the other classes do. I modified the ppt a bit and gave all of the bomb dialogues an interconnected storyline about going to the club and dancing. Then the students loved the last slide of going to the club and dancing. Thanks for the base to build from Epistemology!

This lesson covers Listen & Speak 1, with a little bit of L&S 2 as well ("I'm looking forward to it.")

The presentation covers a basic phone conversation, then does the book work, add on to the phone conversation dialog, review activities (i.e. the "party" aspect of this chapter) and ends with a Pass the Pencil activity and a Phone Conversations Mystery Box game.  The presentation is compiled from several PPTs already available on Waygook - thanks to the original creators of these materials.

The music track for the Pass the Pencil activity is included in the attachments; just make sure to save it in the same directory as the presentation and it should work fine.

EDIT: I did this lesson for the week, and the kids totally lost it over the Pass the Pencil skit.  Some classes didn't understand the rules the first round, but by the third one they were definitely getting into it.  Results may vary depending on level and the kids' interest in your class, but overall this was a resounding success (I think they really like the song).  I'm going to use it again with my 3rd graders for one of their lessons.

This is Part 2 of my lesson for Chapter 5, Listen & Speak.

I start with a review of phone conversations from the previous class.  Make sure to reinforce when to say "take a message" and "leave a message" i.e. "I take" and "you leave."  Then I review the phrase "I'm looking forward to it" since my students seemed to have a hard time remembering it and when to use it.  Then I introduce the phrase "I'm planning to" with some of my own examples and those from the book.

Then we go through the Listen & Speak 2 section of the book.

Fill In the Missing Body Part: This activity is used to reinforce "I'm planning to" by making it the phrase the students have to say to complete the task.  I give them the phrase "On the weekend I'm planning to _______."  and they supply the missing activity.  Give them some examples before you start, especially for lower level classes which may not think on their feet as well as more advanced classes.

Make about 5 teams, and draw 5 figures on the board, only a head and a body, no face.  Number the figures 1-5 so each team knows which is theirs.  Do one round slowly, so that everyone understands the rules.  One student from a team must say the dialog, roll the dice, and draw the corresponding body part on their figure.  Then go to the next team.  Rinse and repeat.  The figure can only have 1 nose and 1 mouth, so if the team rolls for a nose or mouth and they already have one, or they already have 2 arms and roll for an arm, they skip their turn.  First team to complete their figure wins.  Expect the students to come up with some very interesting and weird drawings.

I'm also including a bingo which can be used to supplement the key expressions from the chapter.  When I did this lesson I usually didn't get to the bingo part for time reasons, but it's handy to have ready in case they finish their drawings in record time.  A PPT goes with the bingo cards - just have the students pick a number to do the bingo.  I've included enough unique bingo cards for 30 students, so no one gets the same bingo in the same class.  Visit http://print-bingo.com/ if you need more cards for larger classes.
