Hey all,

An introduction ppt with a hidden picture game at the end. Also, a pass the ball game and a 'big / small' white board game.

Happy teaching

I review some words ending in /all/; example:  fall, call, mall. 

I also show a short video for short i words; example: sit, fix, etc. 

I introduce the idea of adjectives; example:  sweet, tall, cute, sweet etc. 

Then, using the key words in the book, introduce opposites.

Then a review of key words and expressions with the game Telepathy.

Cheers!

I made a "telepathy" game for this lesson.  The rules are on slide six. You could reduce the choices for each round to three, or even two, to drive up the scoring or to remove words deemed to difficult.

Slides 2 and 3 are just a warm-up activity in which I told them I was thinking of some character, then gave them clues about that character using adjectives until they could guess who it was.

A guessing game with a short "Big or Small" warm-up activity.  The game explanation (demonstration) is on slide 12. Printouts are slide 14 and the thumbnails are on slide 15.

I found that the students were focusing more on guessing the animal names than the adjective, so I changed the scoring a bit to encourage them to guess more adjectives; Three points for a "yes" answer on an adjective plus a second guess that should focus on the animal name, and only one extra point for guessing the actual animal.

Also, I used myself as the yardstick: If it's my size or bigger, it's big; my size or taller, it's tall.

Team Rocket Card Game (It's big / it's small etc)

• Every student gets 4 Pokemon cards - Can play as a class or in groups
• They find someone to play with and play a game of RPS
• The winner says a sentence (Ex. "It's big") and both students put 1 card down, face down on the table
• On the count of 3, students turn over their cards
• The student with the bigger Pokemon wins and steals the losing Pokemon.
• students find new partners and play again
• The winner is the player with the most Pokemon

Cards were taken from a grade 6 lesson that was posted on waygook. I corrected the Pokemon typing(adding Dark, Fairy and Steel cards) and added 3 pages more from generations 2-7.
