Lesson 10 is back again! 

Here's the Intro PPT I'm using for period 1 focusing on "You're taller than me/you/him/her/them/us" 
For period 2 I plan on teaching "My hair is longer than mine/yours/his/hers/theirs/ours" 

For period 1 I'm also doing a 'Pass the ball' game and watching the Daft Hand's video.  We're going to learn the words and start writing on our hands for Period 2:

2011 Update: Daft Hands in HD
Since there are lots of great activities on this thread (Classroom olympics, line up, Mission), I don't plan on having the students write on their hands.  It's time-consuming.  Instead I'll use sarsabf5's worksheets.

2011 Update #2: Redid the Intro PPT. Added 7 slides on grammar -- How to choose -er worthy words, use possessive pronouns, and compare with THAN.

2011 Update #3: Comparisons - Simple PPT where students guess which is bigger/taller/etc.  Nile vs Amazon, North Korea vs. South Korea, BoA vs. Nickun, Saturn vs. Jupiter, Bugatti vs. SSC, G Dragon vs. Tae Yang, Mouse vs. Chicken, Taipei Tower vs. Shanghai WFC

Here's a bomb game.  They usually go over well for open classes. 

Also, I've attached the PPT I used for 2nd period.

The Daft Hands worked out pretty well.  We used the normal markers that every student has.  A few students were reluctant to write on their hands.  My co-teacher told them it washes off easily and you can write in yellow if it makes you feel better.  The other teachers thought the students were crazy, but went along with it. 
We didn't focus on learning the hand movements from the video.  It was more about writing on their hands and putting together the words.  n-ev-er, ev-er, ov-er, strong-er, etc...

MY CT USE THIS Billy Goat stoRY.

I didn't think of the CD worksheet idea, but I'm grateful to whoever did! Uses the comparative words newer, older, and cheaper, so is probably best saved for period 4. Page one has the pictures of CDs with their release date and cost. Page two is a worksheet for students to fill out about the CDs.

We just finish this lesson today using this sentence bommb game with my co-teacher.

This is a game I've played any time a supervisor is watching, ie for afterschool or camp... and for Lesson 10.  Can take 20 to 40 minutes depending on how much you draw it out and explain.

It gets a little wild, but if you have a good Korean co, or don't mind taking away points/stars/stickers, you can keep it going.

It gets every single kid playing as well.

its really important not to show the kids which event its going to be, so the kids are picked at random.  So you'll have a tall kid going up for "who is the shortest."  They freak out.

If you have a wild class, you can remove the team captain, and have the kids volunteer. 

For fastest, I have the kids try to catch a dropping ruler between two fingers, seeing how can get the lowest number.

For strongest I have the kids throw a pieces of paper and see who can throw it the farthest in the classroom (I count bouncing on the wall and going backwards against them.)

For luckiest/unluckiest, I have the kids roll dice.

For best, a 3 way game of good old gawi bawi bo

for smartest, I just ask them a super simple question.. ie "raise your right hand."  first kid that does it/is listening wins.

Also, the ppt for the game was made by a friend who will get pissy if I don't give him credit. (i just edited it up)

I used the Daft Hands video too, for this one.  We used Expo-Dry Erase markers (which wash off super easily), and just did Hard-er,Bett-er,Fast-er, Strong-er.  The camera crew and news anchor from some news channel from Daegu actually recorded a bit of this lesson, as they were taping a special on our school yesterday... yikes!

I think the kids really liked it, but some potential issues arose when the hand dancer used their middle fingers... I forgot how immature 5th graders are.  And, some others were just so mezmerized by it all that they forgot to participate.  Overall, though, I'd say it was a good idea.
