Same word search WS as above, but put two on a sheet. main focus was on "is it okay if..." . chicken game can be really fun or really awkward depending on the class you have. some kids will be shy.

*** i recently made some modifications to my chicken game from ericav and her game below. because students sometimes don't like to do the action - the point system is a good idea. if they do the action, there team gets a point, if they don't, then the game moves on.

lastly, i forgot to mention - ive seen many ways to elicit the "sure" or "no, you're not allowed to do that" - I like using dice. 1,3,5 = sure and 2,4,6 = no, you're not allowed to do that. makes it fun by a game of chance. enjoy.

I was gonna use the chicken game too! Really fun!

In the past I have cut out Yes/No answers on strips of paper (stacked it so there are more Yes answers than no ^^ )

Any ideas for an activity/ game involving "I can't stand it? / Calm down!"

I have to teach this lesson in 2 parts

PART 1:

Teach students the phrase "What's up"
Go over the key language

A dialogue practice

Is it okay Wordsearch (downloaded from poster above)

B dialogue practice

Students write answer to question "What is something you can't stand?"
 e.g. "I can't stand it when people talk during a movie." then share with their partners.


PART 2:
Review "What's Up"
Play the Chicken Game

This is a PPT to introduce the key expressions.  The similar expressions are from the teacher's manual.  The PPT is loosely themed around "The Heirs," a popular drama from last winter.

I spend two periods per lesson and I'm only in charge of covering the Speaking and Real Life Scene sections of the textbook. Here is the second part for lesson 4. It includes a short review and two activities. In the first activity, the students will watch the Real Life Scene video without subtitles twice. I pair the students up and give them an envelope with the sentence strips from the dialog and they must put the sentences in the correct order.

The second activity is called Scoot. I only have 14 students per class so I only made 14 questions but you should have a minimum of one question per student. I print the questions out, fold the paper in half and number them. I tape the questions all around the room. Then I have each student stand in front of the question. When I say 'Go', they can lift the paper to see the question inside and must answer it in the allotted time frame (I give them 30 seconds). When time is up, I say 'Scoot' and they all move to their right. Keep going until all students have answered every question. You can add questions to make the game longer.

(p.s. you need to keep the mp4 file in the same folder as the ppt in order for it to work)

Chapter Four - Family / families (explain family trees.)
 
(Talk about your ancestry too if you want.  Get the kids to make their own family tree.)

This is for Part A "Is it okay if I...?" and "You are not allowed to..."
Activity #2 on my worksheet worked well for my students.
Students can work in partners or alone.
Each student chooses a place (Museum, restaurant,campsite etc) and makes 3 rules for that place using "You are not allowed to..." Rules are to be kept secret!
Put students in groups of four. One student states their chosen place and the other 3 students take turns asking "Is it okay if I..." If the student responds "Yes", you do not get points. If the student responds "No, you are not allowed to do that." you get one point!
Each student takes turn stating their place and have the other students guess their rules!

I had them make their own Family Trees to go with the theme of this lesson. You'll want to replace my picture with your own in the PPT.
