Here is a great song to teach left and right, maybe for the first lesson.

PD4

I started with the Let's Read routine that lasted like 5 mins max. Then, I introduced the game for like 5 mins. The game itself was about 20-25 mins. I ended with Read & Do,and one time (a class blew through it so quickly) we worked on the next chapter read and write. I had a crossword search as back up.

The game is a simple TPR. My classes were five groups of 5 or 4. Students start by playing RPS to find the order of their line. Each table + the teacher desk was a place(market,library,bus stop, gift shop, museum, park). There are two ways to start on either side of the class(red or blue). One group at a time, he first student gets blindfolded (I had a kakashi sleeping mask)and lead by the student after. Students must use phrases "Go straight,Turn left (or right), It's on your (or right),". The activity has a time limit of 6 per group ,but the longest a student took was 4 1/2 mins. Since I was using a classroom timer from online, the team with the most time left over wins.

This game requires participation from both teachers. My CT didn't understand the game at first,but after using a team to model on the first period, he helped me onward.

I threw this together today. Students create a map to their own homes and then present to the class.

changed mr c's bets a little, to make it only key expressions. not prepositions.

Games I used for this chapter (all borrowed)

The "Find Mercy" game is a variation on the "mario directions game" using Overwatch characters. One student goes outside while everyone receives a character. They'll answer according to their loyalties. Some students will lie and some will help to find the student with the "Mercy" card using directions such as "go straight two blocks (desk spaces) and turn left". The student has 1 minute to find Mercy. I've also done this game by giving students smiles or frown cards (for liars and helpers) and one student the "library" or "pet shop" card instead of "Mercy" so they'll ask "Excuse me, where is the library?" instead of "where is Mercy?"

During the project period, I played two games -- Guess the picture and place your bets game.

Guess the picture: Show a little bit of the picture at a time. Students can guess what the picture is by using the key expression -- Where is the _____? When it's correct, then ask someone to give you directions to the place on the next slide map.

Place your bets game: Print the pdf for the handout. Directions to the game are provided in the PPT. The game was a hit!

Here are my lessons for part 2 and 4. Some of the activities and PPTs I took from here or other websites, so all credit to the original creators!
