Lesson Plan Content:
Like, be like and look like ladder game
Choose one of the ladders below. Each put a counter such as an eraser in the bottom box. Ask your partner personal questions (with “you” or “your”) to try to get an answer with the words in the next box up. If they say that, you can move into that box and try again with the next box up. Continue until you reach the top or your partner says something different from the next box up. If you don’t get the answer you want, you fall right down to the bottom and play passes to the next person, but you can use the same question next time if you like. You must start from the bottom each time. The winner is the first person to reach the top in one go, or the person who has reached highest when your teacher stops you. Then do the same with another ladder.
