Lesson Plan Content:
He likes she likes games
Do the activity or activities below from here that your teacher tells you to:
- Secretly choose one of the People Cards and say what that person likes and doesn’t like until your partner guesses who you are speaking about
- Choose one of the People Cards and make “Your… likes…” and “Your… doesn’t like…” statements about that one person until your partner says “That isn’t true”, then change roles and play the same game. You get one point for each true statement that you said before your partner said “That isn’t true”. If they say “I don’t have a...” or “My… doesn’t have a…”, e.g. “I don’t have a brother” or “My friend doesn’t have a pet”, you get no points in that round. If they say “I don’t know”, you don’t get a point but can continue asking questions.
- Choose one thing, e.g. something from the list of things below, and make “Your… likes…” and “Your… doesn’t like…” statements about the same one thing and different people until your partner says “That isn’t true”. You get one point for each true statement until then. If they say “I don’t have a...” or “My… doesn’t have a…”, e.g. “I don’t have a brother” or “My friend doesn’t have a pet”, you also don’t get a point and have to stop. If they say “I don’t know”, you don’t get a point but can continue.
- Choose an Answers Card from below and try to get that answer from your partner by asking “Does your… like…?”
- Choose an answer by rolling a dice and try to get an answer matching that number from your partner by asking “Does your… like…?” 1= “Yes, he does”, 2= “No, he doesn’t”, 3= “Yes, she does”, 4= “No, she doesn’t”, 5= “I don’t know”, 6 = “I don’t know”
- Play the same game as 4 or 5, but this time asking about something that is on a card from the Things Card pack
Useful language for doing the activities “Does your… like…?” “Yes, he does.”/ “Yes, she does.” “No, he doesn’t.”/ “No, she doesn’t. “Your… likes…” “Your… doesn’t like…” “That’s true.”/ “That’s right.” “That isn’t true.”/ “I don’t have a…”/ “My… doesn’t have a…” |
