The idioms portion of this lesson is mostly the same as the 2009 2nd Grade Lesson 11 (Please Don't Dog Ear!). I've modified a powerpoint, game, and worksheet that I took from that thread a long time ago to contain more of this lesson's target language. "Hang Out" has been replaced with "I'm full" and "I need a doggie bag." The powerpoint should be good for one lesson, as it goes with the worksheet and has a short reveal game, so the PPT Pokemon game should make for a good second lesson. The lesson PPT does have my name in it a couple of times, so make sure to change that!

Thank you for this, it's s great help.

Love the design!

EDIT: Edited it slightly to take out the idioms not in this chapter and added long time nosee, I'm full, and don't skip breakfast (all from page 30 & 33).

I would like to share the short intro that I made for a little warm-up discussion with students. I use the key expressions 'How can I say ______ in English?' and 'What does ______ mean' to discuss a Korean idiom and an English idiom before diving in to the textbook idioms.

The Korean idiom is 바람둥이, literally 'windy boy', meaning playboy. Apparently G-Dragon did a song about being a playboy using that expression. I'm not going to show it in class but just FYI:

The English expression is 'hit the books', something they'll definitely be able to relate to. In Korean you can say “열심히 공부하다” (study hard) or “불공” (fire study - like fire Friday). One of my students used the expression '불공' this week and I thought it was so funny.

The Korean meanings and translations are also in the comments section of the ppt slides, should you need them.

As for the rest of my class, kaudrab, thank you so much for your materials! I will be using the reveal game and multiple choice idiom meanings in my class. I will turn the multiple choice part into a game by giving each student a whiteboard (aka paper inside a clear plastic file) and letting them write their answers. Each column of students will be a team. A teams gets a point only if every member is correct. I found it very hard to engage my low level students when it came to idioms last year, so I need more games and competitions to keep their attention.

UPDATE: My full ppt is now attached, including the my edited multiple choice question activity and reveal game with my 2 new idioms. I realised that the answer was B for all of the multiple choice questions so I mixed it up to make a game out of it. I also made a worksheet with reverse translation and writing practice on the second page for high level students.

I keep trying to post things and it seems to hang every time so I will try adding them one at a time.
Here's a bunch of stuff.
The wordless word search is one I do for April Fool's Day.
I get them eagerly anticipating the word search offering a prize for the team that gets the most words (work it up).
Hand it out face down, tell them GO!, and after 3-5 minutes, stop and tell them April Fool's!

The rest apply to our chapter as work on idioms.
Being the chapter deals with food and taste, I found some that work with that.
Use what you can.

Here my Powerpoint for the Expressions portion. Very easy and basic. One slide shows the English expression and gives the class two choices about what it means. They can either be right or wrong (you can make this into a mini game if you want). This is followed by a basic explanation slide which includes the Korean translation. Repeat for all expressions. I will use the textbook exercise to get them to practice the target language. "What does this mean?" etc

This one is about tastes - salty, spicy, sweet, fresh, tasty/good, delicious, disgusting, awful, terrible, with appropriate pictures/gifs.

I used the present "It is...." as I'm just concentrating on the words, so you might want to change it to "It was...." to tie in with the book better.

e.g. How do you like _____?
It was ______.

I created a running sentences activity for the idioms section of this lesson. There's 14 sentences & two answer sheets (one numbered 1-10 & one 1-15, depending on your time constraints).
For those who don't know how to play, you can separate your class into teams. One student is designated as the "writer" & sits in the back of the room. Then, one member of each team comes to the front to read the sentences. You can work on listening by just telling them quietly or reading by showing them the sentence. I chose to focus on English terms for punctuation since I used everything in these examples (quotation marks, question mark, exclamation 'mark,' comma, apostrophe, period/dot). The team with the most correct/perfect sentences wins!

Deal or no Deal. It's one of my student's favorite bomb games. I used the materials from the PowerPoint posted by Falling_Sky on March 24. It focuses on page 31, section C

I made a small power point about different flavors. I used salty, sweet, sour, bitter, hot and fresh. It's kind of short but I do a small taste test to get the students to come up with their idea of what the terms mean before I show them the pictures.

Hidden picture game for all vocab and phrases in Chapter 2 Pgs 30-38.

Used somebody else's template, but can't remember who (thank you!).

Here's my newest addition.
Read the notes on the bottom of the first few slides to learn how to run it.
I think it will work well.

I'll rapidly go through the CD as a review and then throw in this game.  It covers much of the information within the Listen and Talk 1 and 2 and the Communication Task.

Enjoy!

Here's my lesson for listen and talk 2, on taste.

We start with going over the key expressions and then the vocabulary.  Students talk about what foods have each taste and texture as a class.  Slides 24-31 are a pass the ball game. We spend about 10 minutes with their textbook and sharing part "c", then do the taste test activity game.

I have one student from each group come up and taste a mystery food with me in the hallway.  Then we talk about its taste and texture, and send them back to their seats.  Their group tries to guess the mystery food in a twenty questions game.

Lesson 2 Part 1:
I used an Idioms lesson someone posted and picked out the ones that I thought were most common. Then played flip cup - another lesson that someone else thought of and made.

Lesson 2 Part 2:
Taught some vocab for describing food. Used a lesson for unusual food that someone made. Then made them do a WS. Tried doin an April Fools joke of showing them a video that bbc made where they convinced pple that spaghetti is grown on trees.
