CYCLE 2 They discuss skills, abilities, and talents using can and cant.
For a new way to practice making statements with can and cant, try:
CIRCLE TALK
AIM: Give students practice pronouncing can and cant while talking about their abilities.
PREPARATION: Make one copy of Photocopiable 10 for every six students. Cut each copy into
cards and put them in an envelope.
COMMENT: Use with part C of the Grammar Focus on page 67.
Students work in groups of six. Each group sits in a circle. Give one envelope to each group.
Explain the task. Student chooses and uses it in a sentence that begins with I can or I cant.
If S1 makes a sentence with cant, he or she chooses a new card.
If S1 makes a sentence with can, he or she gives the card to S2 to the right. The card moves
to the next student to the right until a student uses it in a sentence with I cant. Then this
student chooses a new card, the circle talk changes direction, and the card moves to the
left.
Model the activity with a group. Students complete the activity. Go around the class and
check students pronunciation of can and cant.

Follow the leader
Ages: All
Class time: 15 minutes
Goal: To follow the leader using the same sound and action as the leader.
To change leaders, so that each person in the group can have a chance to lead.
Application: Present continuous phrases or sentences.
Group Division: Whole group standing in circle, or if group is large in two or three separate circles.
Rules:
1. The teacher should be in the circle, but lead as little as possible, explaining that he or
she will start an action and say a phrase at the same time. Everyone must follow the
action and phrase. The action and phrase must be repeated until someone changes
them by doing a new action and phrase.
2. It is important to repeat each action and phrase until it is changed. This maintains the
rhythm of the game and prevents the students from winding down or stopping to think.
3. If two people start a new action/phrase and at the same time, they are simply to choose
one and follow it, until the whole group is doing the same.
4. In a beginners group, it is better to let anyone lead. (A st. who wants to). Eventually
everyone will lead.
5. Every phrase should be accompanied by a mime action. If someone forgets, the
teacher can help.
Examples:
Beginners: phrase only, using the ing form of the verb plus an object: digging a hole,
eating an apple, painting a wall, etc.
Intermediate: Sentences: We are getting dressed. They (or you) are driving a car.
Questions and answers with half the circle asking the question to the other half while
pointing at them: What are you doing? The second half of the circle answers and performs
a mine action.
Advanced: Same as intermediate but add more complicated grammar structures:
A. In a whole circle: After he had buried the body, he drank a cup of tea.
B. With the circle divided in two: Half 1: If you werent combing your hair, what could you be
doing? Half 2: We could be drinking a cup of coffee.

Detective Game Unit 14
Ages: All
Class time: 10-15 mins
Goal: To trace the clues and find the thieves.
Application: Prepositions and do/did: Did you find it? Where did you see it? It was under the
window. It was next to the desk.
Group Division: Whole class.
Rules:
1. Whole class stands in a circle with their backs to the circle. Eyes closed with hands
stretched out behind them, open to receive things.
2. The teacher has three small objects, for example: a piece of red or bright colored
chalk, a small spool of thread or a small role of adhesive tape. These are the clues.
The teacher goes around the circle and pretends to put something in each students
hands, but really puts the objects into three different students hands. These students
then become the thieves. The objects used must be things which can leave a mark on
the thief student. With the red chalk, the teacher marks the students palm, then drops
the chalk into it. With the thread the teacher leaves a piece of thread over one of the
buttons on the students shirt, then drops the thread into the hand. With the adhesive
tape, the teacher sticks a piece of it on to the back of the students shirt, then drops it
into the hand.
3. Students then turn around, move around the room and pretend to hide something. All
students must pretend to hide something or the game does not work. The three real
thieves with the objects also try to hide them. Everyone must be moving for one minute
during this hiding time.
4. The teacher then calls time, or sounds the freeze sound. Teacher then says: OK,
detectives. The three clues are: A piece of red chalk. A spool of green thread and a
small roll of adhesive tape. When leaving the scene of the crime, the three thieves
were marked in some way by these clues. Go!
5. Thieves may not touch or remove the clues which the teacher left on them. Clever
thieves will try very hard to make others seem suspicious.
6. A successful detective must find all three thieves before accusing anyone! When a
detective thinks he/she knows who all three thieves are, they can call freeze, stop and
accuse. Give Happy $$$ if correct. Take happy $$$ if wrong.
7. Detectives who find the clues but not the thieves should also win something. The
biggest winners are those who find the clues and the thieves.
8. Practice the do/did questions. It is fine for detectives to tell each other what they have
seen. They can trade information.

Materials:
A copy of page 1 and a copy of page 2 for each student
Paper and crayons/colored pencils
Procedure:
Give each student a copy. Divide them into two teams and play a quick game to revise
vocabulary: shout out a letter (e.g. A). The first student to shout out the corresponding food
wins their team point. If they are incorrect the other team gets a turn.
Tell them they are going to hear a story about a greedy boy called George and they have to
tick the food that he/she eats.
Read the story opposite, then check the answers.
Tell them you are going to read it again, but this time they have to number the foods in the
order that he eats them e.g. chocolate = 1, lollipops = 2. Read the story as often as
necessary before checking the answers.
Read the story again but change some words e.g. On Tuesday he bought six lollipops.
Students shout Stop! when they hear a mistake and then tell you the correct word,
e.g. two.
Finally, ask some simple comprehension questions, e.g. What did he eat on Tuesday?

Follow-up
Put students into pairs and give each a copy.
They now write their own version of the story by filling in a childs name plus days, numbers,
prepositions and foods (these dont have to be in the same order as the original story).
When they have finished, ask them to draw pictures to illustrate their story. Then each pair
goes to the front of the class, reads their story while they hold up their drawings.

Comment: Use with Conversations or Grammar Focus exercises that involve conversations.
After completing the Conversations or Grammar Focus conversation, write all or part of it on
the board.
Explain the task. Students work in pairs. They take turns practicing the conversation on the
board repeatedly. As they practice, gradually erase words from the board.
Students practice the conversation. Erase one word per line each time they practice. For
example:
A: Good Morning. How are you?
B: Im just fine. Thank you
Becomes
A: Good morning. ________ are you?
B: Im just fine. ________ you.
Variation: Divide the class into two teams. One student from each team reads the conversation
while you erase the words. When a student cant remember a word, the other team gets a point. The team
with most points wins.
