Lesson Plan Content:
Possessive adjectives brainstorming games
Flashcard and realia version
The teacher will take two things (two puppets, two Lego figures, two flashcards with a figure in each, etc) and give them to two different students. Those people should count to three and throw or pass their card to the next person at exactly the same time, asking a question about that thing like “How old is she?” as they do so. It doesn’t matter if the questions are the same or different, but they should be said at the same time each time.
When you run out of questions or when your teacher tells you to, take turns comparing the two cars, puppets etc with sentences like “His… is… but her… is…” such as “His hair is short but her hair is long”.
