2010-2011 Grade 6 Lesson 11 - "What do you want to do?"

Here's a Chase the Vocab game. My kids seemed to find it refreshing. Before the game, I reviewed the key sentences/pictures to be used in the game.

Hey - forgive me if I'm missing something obvious - how do you play this game?

No worries! It can be a little confusing at first!

The template is designed such that all you have to do is click the mouse, in slideshow mode. First, review the kew vocab/sentences to be used for the game, then it moves straight to the game.

Have the students speak the sentences, if you wish, then click the mouse. The images should disappear and mix. When they finish mixing, ask your students to raise their hand if they want to guess. They can speak the number they want to guess, and the sentence they think is behind it. (This is how I do it, anyway, and it seems to work well.) To reveal the answer, simply click on the purple cover (NOT on the yellow background, as that will forward to the next slide; if this happens, simply click to go back to the previous slide, it's not a big deal, but make sure to click only once.)

You basically just repeat these steps for each new set of cards/vocabulary.

Does that help any? If not, do let me know. ^^

Here is a battleship template you can modify for you students.  I'm teaching advanced level students so I changed the categories.  Either way...it will be fun.  Enjoy! 

PS- The template is ready to play. All you need to do is print it, explain it, and have fun :)

Here is an introductory worksheet for lesson 11.

The fill in the blanks are for the following pictures

Do you want to
1) jam (music session)
2) dance
3) sing
4) play chess
5) play football
6) cook
7) hangout
(not in the order) *the pictures and words will be identifiable.

The word search contains the words listed above

I just made a ppt with the idea of the teacher,eacherjenni.

When I read the idea, it sounds fun and students would like it.

 

Dialogue practice activity... directions are in the ppt

A video I made with some EPIK teacher friends for this lesson.  Feel free to use it.  Cheers.

Thanks for this ppt. I love Charlie Brown. Not sure if the kids know who he is but I guess I will find out when I teach this lesson.

Here's a Chase the Vocab game. My kids seemed to find it refreshing. Before the game, I reviewed the key sentences/pictures to be used in the game.

Just a question on your methodology. Are you having the kids track one activity per slide, or all of them? Are you telling them the number and asking for the activity/sentence or giving the activity and asking for the number. I can see playing this various ways and I'm just wondering what you've tried or what works.  This is a nice concept and a pleasant step outside the bomb game/typhoon box. Good on you mate!

Ah! Sorry! It's such an old template, that I just assumed most people knew what to do with it.

We have our classes comprised of teams, 1-6, as they function better in groups, for the games, and it makes awarding prizes/points easier. Basically, we keep it simple: review the vocab, have the students quickly speak the key word/sentence, then push the "mix" button.

We choose students from various groups, making sure that each group gets a chance at it. Sometimes I write down the answers beforehand, so that I know if they're right/wrong without turning the tile (this requires a little prep on your part), and sometimes I just check and let them see their error/no point awarded. Either way works fine, though I like the former way best.

When we get to maybe only 1 or 2 squares left, it's so obvious, so I have them do Rock, Paper, Scissors with me, whittling down to the last student; that lucky student gets to say the final one/get the final point. (The RPS keeps it from getting TOO dull, if they get bored with the guessing.)

We have a pretty good response with this game, but ultimately, you will know your kids best. This method may not work best, and if so, mayhap I can suggest some alternative ways. ^^ Hope this helps! 

Sorry I'm still not getting it...it looks totally awesome though! So do they kids have to track each picture and say the right order and how many points did you award for getting them right? Sorry I feel dense that I'm not getting it but I'm stoked to try it with my 6's.

Trout me if this has been posted, but soon as I saw the title first thing on my mind was

Just showed this video today and my students LOVED IT! They can be a tough crowd to please, too. Thanks!

I used this as an intro to one of the lessons last year.  The kids liked it.

This is a worksheet and powerpoint game based on the worksheet. The game involves a little running around if you are comfortable with your students getting up out of their chairs but it isn't a race so it's not too bad. It works well if you have a mixed-abilities class. I'm not 100% sure if the worksheet is mine so if I picked up from someone else, sorry for plagiarizing and thank you! All the instructions are on the worksheet (which I've posted as a 'doc' and a 'docx.')

This is a worksheet that I used from last year. (Again I'm not 100% sure it is mine, getting senile in my old age I think). I also adapted a game from a previous poster (really sorry but I can't remember who but you know who you are and a big thank you to you)  to use with  the worksheet and I think they will work well together.

Here is a Blockbuster game (MAJOR props to RufusW for providing the amazing template!). I didn't make a round 2... just round 1.

(To play... red team and blue team. When the block turns 1/2 red and 1/2 blue, click on the colour of the winning team to change the entire block that colour).

It's for
-I want to...
-They want to...
-He wants to..
-She wants to..
-It wants to...
-(Name) wants to... 

I also attached a simple worksheet for visual learners. I'm going to have them colour the correct word (want/wants) for I, they, he, she, it and Minsu. Seeing it laid out like that will hopefully make it clear for them.

Haven't used it yet, let me know if there's any problems ^^

That blockbuster game is great! Is there a template for it, do you know? I'd be most grateful if there was!

Yes there are templetes located on Waygook for ALL of the Amazing games.  Do a search on here for "Game tempetes" and you'll find the thread Powerpoint Templete Mega-Pack..  Also try this link:

This is a great video - I shall be using this one thank you very much for a bit of lighthearted relief.  :D

Thanks for all the great ideas. I just taught this lesson today and it completely flopped. My students were all bored and they were cringing when we played the song what you want to do. I will try some of the ideas for the next lesson.

I just made it so I have not played with my grade 6s but taboo seemed to work well with grade 4 lesson.

So this is a team charades game. I got the idea originally from someone in Grade 5 lesson 11. But I added pictures and changed one of the categories and added a power point. The PPT has instructions. Also I would add that depending on ur class organization and size I would mark the back of the cards with team A B C D as the 1st time I played people got confused what team they were on. I played it twice today~ It took a bit for them to catch on. But then they seemed to get it. I enjoyed making the shy people get up and do stuff. It's a bit timely and I have yet to get past two teams
