IDIOMS AND USEFUL PHRASES GAME

A lesson plan for ESL teachers.

I believe that students learn so much faster when they compete, play and generally have fun. I also believe that students remember vocabulary and grammar much better when they see it in a context or a picture. These videos are perfect to conduct a picture quiz and learn new words and structures at the same time. How? It's very simple.

1. Divide your students into two competing teams.
2. Explain the rules of the game to your students and tell them to remember not only the idioms but also their definitions and the texts in speech bubbles.
2. Students from the first team must guess the meaning of the idiom presented in the first picture.
If they guess it correctly, they get a point and the other team has to guess the meaning of next idiom.
3. If students can't guess the meaning of an idiom, they get no points and the other team must guess it.

4. The second part or the video is a revision of the whole material. Students get one point for completing the texts in speech bubbles and one point for completing each definition. 

*****After the game, you may conduct a speaking activity. Students work in pairs. One student sits back to the screen and the other student must describe the picture from the screen. The student sitting back to the screen must guess the idiom. After 10 pictures students swap seats.  

Hope it will be fun!!!

"GOING TO" PICTURE GAME

A lesson plan for ESL teachers.

I believe that students learn so much faster when they compete, play and generally have fun. I also believe that students remember vocabulary and grammar much better when they see it in a context or a picture. These videos are perfect to conduct a picture quiz and learn new words and structures at the same time. How? It's very simple.

1. You can divide your students into two competing teams or...
*You can also play YOUR STUDENTS VS YOU. I tried this a few times and it was lots of fun. When students guess correctly what is in the picture they get 2 points if they don't you get 3 points (sounds a bit unfair but my students usually won anyway:)
2. Students can see only a small part of a picture.
They have to be observant or sometimes use their intuition and guess what will happen.
3. Students have to use only English while consulting in groups
If they don't comply they lose a point.

4. Play the video and pause it where necessary so students could have enough time
to read all options and come up with an answer
(but not too much time, remember this is supposed to be a fast paced game)

5. The second part or the video is a revision of the whole material.
Read the whole text (with gaps) aloud with students
to check if they remember everything. 

Hope it will be fun!!!

HOW TO PLAY IT???

A lesson plan for ESL teachers.

I believe that students learn so much faster when they compete, play and generally have fun. I also believe that students remember vocabulary and grammar much better when they see it in a context or a picture.
This picture game is a great tool to teach kids new vocabulary (adjectives).
 It's also perfect to get your students engaged and
turn your lesson into an entertaining game.

1. Divide your students into two competing teams.
2. Students have to guess what animal is in the picture as quickly as possible.
3. The team which guesses first gets one point.
However, if the guess is wrong the other team gets a point.
***If both teams guess at the same time they play rock, paper, scissors

4. The second part of the video is a revison (students have to complete the speech bubbles with correct adjectives). You can also turn it into a game and fun activity.
*For example, you can play YOUR STUDENTS VS YOU. I tried this a few times and it was lots of fun. When students guess an adjective correctly they get a point
if they don't you get a point.
If you think it's too easy for your class you can introduce a different rule.
For example, when students guess an adjective correctly they get a point
if they don't you get three points.

Hope it will be fun for you and your students!!!
