PICTURE IT!
AIM: Help students understand vocabulary in a visual way.
PREPARATION: Make sets of vocabulary cards (one per four students). Put each set in an
envelope.
COMMENT: Use to review vocabulary. After Grammar Focus on page 60.
Students work in groups of four. Give each group a set of cards.
Explain the rules. One student in each group chooses a card and draws a picture of the word
on a piece of paper. The other students try to guess the word. The first student to guess the
word correctly gets a point and chooses the next card.
Point out that the student drawing the picture cannot write numbers or letters, talk, or make
gestures.
Model the task by drawing a picture of a word on the board. The class guesses the word.
Play the game until students use all the cards. The student in each group with the most
points wins.
VARIATION: Use one set of cards. Divide the class into two teams (A and B). One student from
Team A chooses a card and draws the picture on the board. The students in Team A have two minutes to
guess the word. If they guess correctly, Team A gets a point. Repeat with Team B and continue until
students use all cards. The team with the most points wins.

For a new way to teach sentence stress:

WALKING STRESS

AIM: Help students review categories of words in a fun way.
Preparation: None
Comment: Use to review vocabulary
Divide the class into two teams (A and B).
Explain the game. Call out a category (e.g: breakfast foods) Team A serves by saying a
word in that category (e.g: bread). Team B returns the serve by saying a different word
from that category (e.g: cereal). The teams take turns saying words from the category.
The game continues until one team cant think of any more words. The other team gets a
point.
Call out a different category (e.g: drinks, vegetables, fruit, desserts) and play the game
again.
The team with the most points wins.
VARIATION: Bring a balloon to class. Teams A and B stand on opposite sides of the room. When
Team A says a word, it serves the balloon to Team B. Team B must say a different word before the balloon
reaches its side of the room. If Team B doesnt say a word or drops the balloon, Team A gets a point.

MOVIE ACTIVITY

An Elementary Video class

This lesson uses the scene when mother


and daughter first move into the old pastry shop.
They have a conversation just before bedtime when
the little girl asks her mother to read her a story.

From What a nice town this is. To okay.

Pre viewing Tasks


Tell the Ss that they are going to watch a movie clip where mother and daughter have a
conversation just before bedtime. Ask your Ss to predict some of the words they think might
appear in the conversation. Write the words or phrases on the board.
Ss then put the cut-up conversation in a logical order (a cut up version of the worksheet).
There are several possibilities; it only has to make sense at this stage.
While viewing Task
Ss then watch the scene paying close attention to the dialogue. (At this stage they shouldnt
be re-arranging the cut up conversation but watching the movie)
Post-viewing Task
Ss now put the jumbled conversation into the correct order. You may have to re-play the
scene a few times while they do this.
Cooler
Watch the scene again. Elementary Ss enjoy this, it gives them lots of confidence to watch a
real movie clip and understand it
Role-play
Ss act out the role-play in front of the class.

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.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT: Idea adapted from Lessons from Nothing by Bruce Marshland, Cambridge
University Press.

you stop the music, the student holding the ball takes off the outside piece of paper, reads
the question, and answers it. Then start the music and the students throw the paper ball
again.

LaCe / Intro B 32
Model the game, then play the game until students answers all ten questions.

For more practice with abilities and talents, play:

CHANGE CHAIRS
AIM: Review vocabulary and improve listening in an active way.
PREPARATION: None
COMMENT: Use with classes of six or more students to review vocabulary and improve listening.
Ask students to move their chairs in a circle, facing the center. Stand in the middle.
Explain the task. Give an instruction that starts with change chairs (e.g change chairs if
you can swim. All students who can swim stand up and change chairs.
Model task a few times.
Ask one student to stand up. Take away his or her chair.
Explain the task. Then the student without a chair stands in the center and gives the next
instruction (e.g change chairs if you can play the guitar.) This time, the student in the
center also tries to sit down. The student left without a chair stands in the center and gives
the next instruction.
Model the task.

Language: going to.
Material: Board and dice (one per group), counters (one per student).
Groups: groups of two to six.
Time: 20 minutes.

Procedures
Bring to class pictures of objects that are large enough for the whole class to see. Give one
of them to a student, step back, and ask: What are you going to do with that? Elicit an
answer from that student and other possible funny answers from the rest of the class. Draw
students attention to the use and meaning of going to. Repeat this procedure to make sure
students can use this form appropriately and understand the idea of the game.
Divide the class into groups and hand out the material.

Rules
Players place their counters at START.
The first player casts the dice and moves his or her counter accordingly. If it lands on a
square with an object in it, the person to his or her left initiates interaction with him or her, as
shown. If the counter lands on a square with instructions in it, he or she must follow them.
Players take turns proceeding in this way. The first player to get to (but not beyond) the
FINISH point wins the game.

UNIT 13 Students discuss places, things to buy there, and how to get there.
CYCLE 1 They talk about stores and their locations using prepositions of place.
VOCABULARY: Places and things
GRAMMAR: preposition of places ( on / on the corner of / across from / next to / between), giving
locations in a city map.

SCULPTURES
AIM: Give students practice reviewing vocabulary in an active way.
PREPARATION: List vocabulary you want to review.
COMMENT: Use to review vocabulary
Divide the class into teams of three.
Explain the task. Whisper an activity to one student (e.g: aspirin). This student whispers the
activity to the other students on his or her team. The team has one minute to form a
sculpture that illustrates the activity (e.g: student 1 pretends to have a headache, student 2
pretends to be a pharmacist giving him or her a bottle of aspirin). The other teams guess the
activity. The first team to guess correctly gets a point.
Model the task with one team.
Play the game until you use all the vocabulary. The team with the most point wins.

Another suggestion for vocabulary practice use:

VOCABULARY TENNIS
AIM: Help students review categories of words in a fun way.
Preparation: None
Comment: Use to review vocabulary
Divide the class into two teams (A and B).
Explain the game. Call out a category (e.g: places) Team A serves by saying a word in that
category (e.g: aspirin). Team B returns the serve by saying a different word from that
LaCe / Intro B 66
category (e.g: bandages). The teams take turns saying words from the category.
The game continues until one team cant think of any more words. The other team gets a
point.
The team with the most points wins.

VARIATION: Bring a balloon to class. Teams A and B stand on opposite sides of the room. When
Team A says a word, it serves the balloon to Team B. Team B must say a different word before the balloon
reaches its side of the room. If Team B doesnt say a word or drops the balloon, Team A gets a point.

YOUR WEEKEND
Ss practice using the simple past and giving extra information in a communicative way.

Rationale: Movement and fun reduce anxiety and facilitate learning.


Material: Photocopiable page and box or bag
Comment: This exercise replaces part A of Your Weekend.
Photocopy page below(one copy per 16 Ss). Cut them up into question cards, shuffle them,
and put them in the box or bag.
Write this conversation on the board:
A: Did you read any books last weekend?
B:Yes, I did. I read John Grishams new book. Did you see any friends weekend?
A: No, I didnt. But I saw my family.
Go around the class and have each S choose a card from the box. Ask them to put the cards
face down on their desks.
Focus attention on the conversation on the board. Ask: Do the speakers only answer the
questions or do they give extra information? (They give extra information.) Which sentences
give extra information? (I read John Grishams new book. But I saw my family.)
Explain the task. Ss will move around the room and ask each other the questions on the
cards. When answering, they give extra information, as in the example on the board. Once
theyve asked their questions, they exchange question cards, go up to other classmates, and
ask their new questions. They continue until you tell them to stop.
Ss carry out the task. Ask volunteers to give examples of the extra information they provided
when answering the questions.

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.

Aim: Give students more practice speaking with different students.
Preparation: none
Divide the class into two groups, A and B.
The groups stand in two circles, one inside the other. Students in group A bring their books
and make a circle around the classroom, facing inward. Students in Group B bring their
books and make an inside circle. Each student in Group B faces a student from group A.
Explain the task. Students practice the conversation in pairs. When you say Change!
students in group B move to the left and practice the conversation with new partners from
group A.

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.

Greedy George Unit 14

George was very greedy.


On Sunday his grandma gave him some money.
On Monday he bought one bar of chocolate and ate it all up.
On Tuesday he bought two lollipops and ate them all up.
On Wednesday he bought three ice creams and ate them all up.
On Thursday he bought four cakes and ate them all up.
On Friday he bought five biscuits and ate them all up.
On Saturday he bought one sandwich, one sausage, one pizza, one apple, one apple pie and one
melon.
He ate them all up and then he had a tummy ache!
On Sunday his grandma gave him some money.
He put it in his piggy bank!

Language Focus:
Food vocabulary
Days of the week
Numbers
Past tense
Story-telling

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?

LaCe / Intro B 86
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.

LaCe / Intro B 90
Comment: Use to practice grammar.
Divide students into 2 teams ( A and B). Assign each member of the teams a number.
Read out the first sentence without saying the verb to be (e.g Shakira _____ born in
Colombia.). S1 from each team runs to find the card containing the missing verb to be. The
first S to reach the correct card gets a point for his or her team.
Play the game until you use all the sentences. The team with the most point wins.

For a new way to teach this Pronunciation, try:

STAND UP, SIT DOWN!


AIM: Focus students attention on listening for specific sounds.
PREPARATION: None
COMMENT: Use with the Pronunciation on page 102

CYCLE 2- They discuss school experiences and memories using Wh- questions with did, was and
were.

For a new way for practicing asking and answering Wh- questions with did,
was, and were, try:

Line Up!
Aim: Give Ss practice asking and answering past tense questions with did, was, and were.
Preparation: Make one copy of photocopiable 15 for every four students. Cut the copies in four. Put
the cards in four separate envelopes (one for each question).
Comment: Use with classes of sixteen or more students after the Gammar Focus on page 103.
Students work in four groups. Each group has four to seven students and a different part of
the room. Give one envelope to each group. Each student takes a card from the envelope.
Explain the task. As a group, students ask the question on their card and write down the
information. Then each group stands in line in order of the answers (e.g., in time order).
Point out that the board is the beginning and the other end of the classroom is the end.
Model the task with a few students from one group. Explain that when two answers are the
same, students stand in alphabetical order of their first names.
Students complete the task. Then ask them to explain their position in line. For example:
Im number 4. I was born in 1998.

For more practice with Wh-questions and answers, play:

Concentration
Aim: give students practice reviewing vocabulary and grammar in a fun way.
Preparation: make one set of cards for each group of students. Two cards in each set match.
Comment: use to review vocabulary and grammar.
Students work in groups of four. Give each group a set of cards. Ask the students to put all
their cards face down on a desk.
Explain the task. Students take turns choosing two cards, turning them over, and saying the
words. If the two cards match, they keep the pair of cards and take another turn. If the cards
dont match, they put them faced down again, and the next student takes a turn.
The students in each group with the most card wins.

LaCe / Intro B 101


For more practice with words about school, play:

VOCABULARY TENNIS
AIM: Help students review categories of words in a fun way.
Preparation: None
Comment: Use to review vocabulary
Divide the class into two teams (A and B).
Explain the game. Call out a category (e.g: places) Team A serves by saying a word in that
category (e.g: aspirin). Team B returns the serve by saying a different word from that
category (e.g: bandages). The teams take turns saying words from the category.
The game continues until one team cant think of any more words. The other team gets a
point.
The team with the most points wins.
VARIATION: Bring a balloon to class. Teams A and B stand on opposite sides of the room. When
Team A says a word, it serves the balloon to Team B. Team B must say a different word before the balloon
reaches its side of the room. If Team B doesnt say a word or drops the balloon, Team A gets a point.

For a new way to teach this Reading, try:

CLOUD PREDICTION
AIM: Develop students ability to predict content from key words.
PREPARATION: List six to ten key words from the text.
COMMENT: Use with Reading on page 105.
Write the key words on the board, inside a large cloud
KEY WORDS: Puerto Rico, the U.S, Mexico, performer, television commercials, soap
operas, band, Spanish-language Albums, English-language Albums.
Explain the task. Students work in pairs. They use the key words on the board to predict the
main ideas.
Point out that all predictions are acceptable.
Students complete the task. Elicit students predictions.
Students listen to the audio program and check their prediction.

Aim: To discuss about your hometown.


Language: Present tense, has / hasnt got, places.
Materials: A copy fr each student.
Groups: Pairs, then whole group.

Rules
Students work in pairs to complete the information in the worksheet on HO/03.
Ask them to change pairs and to check their answers.
Go through the answers with the class.
Ask students to bring in a photo of their hometown (or a picture from a tourists brochure) to
stick onto the worksheet.

Follow-up
This can lead into a class discussion on whether students like their hometown, what would
they like their town to have, what would they change about their town, etc. If you wish to
introduce an element of British Culture, you could get them to compare their hometown with
a British town that they know, e.g. There may be a British town featured in their course book
or if they have been on holiday in Britain.

GRAMMAR: Subject and object pronouns
CYCLE 1 They make phone calls and leave messages using subject and object pronouns.

For a new way to practice this conversation, try:

Disappearing Dialog:
Aim: Give students confidence using new vocabulary and grammar.
Preparation: None
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.

Erase more words. Gradually students will be able to practice the


conversation without support.

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.

LaCe / Intro B 106


For a new way to practice prepositional phrases, try:

PREPOSITION BOARD GAME


AIM: Give students practice reviewing prepositional phrases.
PREPARATION: Make one photocopiable page 16 and bring dice for every three or four students.
COMMENT: Use after the Word Power on page 106.
Students work in groups of three or four. Give each group a handout and dice. Students can
use small objects( e.g., coins or rings) as counters.
Explain the game. Students put their counters on START. Take turns throwing the dice and
moving their counters to the indicated number of squares in any direction. Then they
complete the sentenceJennifer cant come to the phone because shes using the
correct prepositions and the phrases in the square. If they complete the sentences correctly,
they write their initials in the square.
Model the game with a group. Students play the game until all the squares have initials. The
student with the most initialed squares wins.

Acknowledgment: Idea adapted from Time Pieces, the grammar Activity Book, by Bob Obee,
Cambridge University Press.

For more practice with prepositional phrases, play:

Run for It!


Aim: help students practice prepositions of time.
Preparation: Prepare a list of sentences with missing prepositions. Write each missing preposition
on a separate card and post the cards around the classroom walls.
Comment: Use to practice grammar.
Divide students into 2 teams( A and B). Assign each member of the teams a number.
Read out the first sentence without saying the preposition (e.g I always get up BLANK 6
A.M.). S1 from each team runs to find the card containing the missing preposition. The first
S to reach the correct card gets a point for his or her team.
Play the game until you use all the sentences. The team with the most point wins.
