Weather song

I was going to play bingo, but I ran out of time and the students' level is really low anyway, so I made up a game on the spot. The game I played is just like the "survival game". I took an "X" and an "O" from the Banana grams game. Students should stand in the middle of the class. I'll say "Let's __________". Then students should go to the left or right side of the room. On the left side, students should say "Sounds great!". On the right side, students should say "Sorry, I can't. I'm sick/tired/sleepy". I'll then mix up the "x" or "o" letters elaborately and reveal which one I chose. The O would be "Sounds great" and "X" would be "sorry, I can't". If students guessed correctly, they can still be in the game. The others have to sit down. Keep going until you have one student left.

They loved it, especially when I dramatically mixed and revealed the answer. They were so excited.

Here is an entire lesson plus lesson plan for section two of lesson two. The lesson includes a warm-up/motivation, a vocab and grammar drill, two activities, and a review.

The cards for the card game you should make yourself. My co-teacher made the cards for my class so I don't have a file to upload to waygook. Just use the weather photos and actions in the PPT to make a card displaying the weather and an action for that specific weather. There should be three cards of each weather that are the same. For example:

(Sunny picture)
It's sunny.
Let's play badminton.
^ There should be three copies of this card.

(Sunny picture)
It's sunny.
Let's play soccer.
^ There should be three copies of this card.

(Rainy picture)
It's rainy.
Let's make cookies.
^ There should be three copies of this card and so on.

Board Game.

1. Have students play rock paper scissors to decided who gets to roll the dice first.
2. Student that won rock, paper scissors rolls the dice
3. Student uses marker or whatever to establish his/her place after moving however many places the board specifies.
4.Once, student marker is in place group members ask the student "What the weather like" and the student that just placed his marker looks at the picture and replies "It's sunny/rainy/cloudy etc....

This can be as long or as short as you want it to be.

Peace!
