Both the lesson and the game are in the same PowerPoint file. For the game, students will play [i]Go Fish[/i]. I will have my students use the language form the chapter when asking for cards. For example, instead of saying: “Do you have any fives?” the students will say, “I was wondering if you could give me a five.” For face cards, they will use the expressions from the book.  I have the explanation on the last slide of the PPT.  If you have never played Go Fish with your students, it might take a bit of time for them to understand the rules.

Adapted from PPTs from old Haas book Grade 3 Lesson 1

Andrew1208, thanks for the cute gif ppts! I have borrowed some of your stuff for my own presentation.

In my class, we'll go over the difference between asking a favour and asking permission first. Then we'll look at some examples (with gifs for added entertainment), play a speaking game (details below), and come up with different ways to begin a favour or permission sentence. There is a worksheet too, but I doubt there will be time to use it. I'll save it for the supplementary class.

How to play the game: On each ppt slide there is a person (for favours) or a place (for permission). In the 'favours' section, one slide says 'the waiter in a restaurant'. The students have to come up with as many favours as they can to ask the waiter. They have to raise their hand to give me a sentence, and the same student can't raise their hand twice unless everyone else in their team has spoken. Each valid sentence gets one point for the team. I'm looking for sentences such as "I was wondering if you could bring me some water", "I was wondering if you could close the window" etc. Similarly, in the 'permission' section, students have to ask permission to do things in a certain place. For example, for the 'at the museum' slide, students might say "Is it ok to take pictures?" "Is it ok to bring food and drink?" etc. I have used this style of game in other classes and it works so well for all levels in my school.

Extra stuff: There is a lesson in the first grade textbook about asking favours and giving suggestions. The key expressions are "Can you do me a favour?" and "Why don't you...". My third graders did it with me 2 years ago I can't use it again, but it might be useful for you. There's a video that my students found funny and a fill the blanks worksheet with lots of different ways to ask and respond to a favour. The Cookie Run game went down well too.

Here's a little time filler or review activity for anyone that needs it!
Uses the target language for page 67, but you could easily change it to work for 66.
Usually takes up 10 minutes.

Hey~ Tried this today and it worked well. My students have quite low ability and motivation, so it took a while to get it going. I had a class of 30 FWIW.

Also, it was funny as some students wanted to sit down (but kept winning) while others wanted to win candy.

I don't think I can even really call this a lesson, but I went through the book very slowly & then just played the permission game above. One thing I continuously have to emphasize is the sentence from part B #2 on page 67. "No food or drink from outside is allowed in the amusement park." They see "is allowed" & think the sentence is positive.

Adele-themed lesson for Lesson 4a (target language for Listen and Talk 1).

Includes ppt and worksheet. I also show this cover of Adele's Hello by Lydia Lee - a high school student from Seoul: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJAx7pFpDtQ

If there is time, you can show this clip of her singing on Ellen - make sure to turn on the captions for the pre-interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0gvJyLau9o

Order of lesson is: ppt>>then cover of Adele (the one with Korean subtitles), then worksheet (have students fill it in, then practice the dialogue. Advanced students will find this very easy).

I played Happy Bunny with them after but that didn't go over that well. I would suggest finding another practice game to fill the last 10 minutes.

simple time filler about things that look like other things

Very simple, efficient, lesson for listen and talk 2: 'Is it OK"

Game. This is a Deal or no Deal template - using the language from the introduction but with a small amount of review material. This is a fun bomb game type template taken from somewhere in the deeps of Waygook. ((Huge apologies to the first two people who downloaded the game - it had some mistakes - which I've now rectified))

The time to deliver these lessons is probably long past but I have nothing better to do during desk warming days  . The key expressions for Lesson 4 are:


Below are brief descriptions of all of the attached files:

• Lesson4.BGH: This PPT is the game "Bad Guy Handshake" which students lovingly refer to as Mafia. The rules are slightly different because there aren't doctors to save people and so on. I used this with my large, high level classes and they really enjoyed it.
• Lesson4.BTLSHP.Grid: This is the grid for Battleship that I gave to students who worked in groups to find their enemies' ships during Battleship. This game always works wonders for my low level students.
• Lesson4.BTLSHP: This is the PPT I use for the Battleship game for my low level students. The first time around it always takes awhile to explain, but the more you play it the more the students are familiar with it and you can make the board bigger and bigger (logical).
• Lesson4.DICE.Review: I believe I found this game from a fellow waygookin but the moral of the game is simple. Students partner up, everyone gets 1 dice. When they roll the dice, they practice the key expressions in the corresponding box. The first team to get all 6 boxes done are the winners. It takes longer than you think it would. This game can also be played with a deck of cards (I forgot the dice one day) but amazingly, it goes faster with cards than it does with dice.
• Lesson4.EG: This is an Elimination Game I got from a fellow waygookin. My low level students also enjoyed this game, but not the standing so much depending on the class. The original PPT had blues and oranges but since the students can pick whichever one they want, it's hard to be "WHICH blue?" and so on. So I changed it to have more colors but make sure your students aren't just saying "blue" and practicing the whole phrase! 
• Lesson4.Main: This is the PPT I used mainly for my larger, high level classes. The game is taken from the "Customs - Is it OK to" PPT from an earlier post. One of my coteachers really likes making the students work harder than they really should, so that's why I have added descriptions (that students actually had to also translate, but that's just my coteacher situation).

I give any and all credit to previous waygookins that I have used materials from to produce these materials.
