Days of the week- Make me say Yes
A LESSON PLAN FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHERS
Students get points for positive answers from personal Present Simple questions with days of the week like "Does your family cook on Sundays?", with more challenging variations for later and better classes.
Lesson Plan Content:
Days of the week make me say Yes
Present Simple Yes No questions/ Days of the week communicative practice
Ask your partner Yes/ No questions such as those on the next page about one day of the week. You get one point if they say “Yes”, but no points if they say “No”, “I don’t know”, etc.
Change partners. Do the same, but this time you get no points if your partner can say “Yes, but I do that every day”, so you need to think more carefully about different things that they do on different days.
Do the same, but this time only asking about other people that your partner knows (“your mother”, “your soccer coach”, etc, not “you” questions).
Do the same, but this time with one point for “No” answers and no points for “Yes”, “I don’t know”, etc. Like the last game, you don’t get a point if your partner can say “No, I don’t, but I never do that”, “No, she doesn’t, but she never does that”, etc.
Do the same, but this time with one point for “I don’t know” answers and no points for other answers.
