Lesson 3
Grade 7 - Grade 12
Introduce the sentence for this unit. Be certain that the students understand the
meaning of the structure. Use the unit’s sentence in the following activities.
Basic Listening
• Illustration Bingo
Provide each student with five vocabulary illustrations (use the Sight Word Bingo page from the Student Support Materials). Each student
should turn his/her illustrations face-down on the desk. Then, each stu dent should turn ONE illustration face up. Say a vocabulary word,
using the unit’s sentence. Any student or students who have the illustra tion for the vocabu lary word you said (in the sentence) face up on
their desks, should show their illustra tions. Those illustrations should then be put to the side and the students should turn over another
illustration. The first student or students to have no illustrations left on their desks, win the round. The illustrations may be col lected, mixed,
and re-distributed to the students for the different rounds of the activity.
Basic Speaking
• High Card Draw
Distribute all of the cards from a deck of playing cards to the stu dents (be certain that all students have the same number of cards). Call
two students' names. Those two students must then select one card each from their cards. The two students should show the cards they
have selected. The student who has the high est card must then identify a vo cabulary illustration you show, using the unit’s sentence. Then,
the student should place that card to the side. For this ac tivity, you may decide that "aces" are high or low. The value of jacks, queens,
and kings can be the same (or, you may de cide to give them specific values for this activity). If both students show cards of the same
value, then both students should identify a vo cabulary illustration you show, using the unit’s sentence. Repeat until a student or students
have no cards left.
• Flashlight Name
Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the chalkboard and the walls of the class room. Darken the classroom as much as possible. Use a
strong flash light to direct the students' attention to one of the illustrations. The students should iden tify the illustration which is illuminated
by the light of the flashlight, using the unit’s sentence. Con tinue in this way until all of the vo cabulary words have been said a number of
times.
• Balloon Volleyball
Group the students into two teams. The two teams should stand, facing one another. Toss a round, inflated balloon to the members of
Team One. The members of Team One must then bounce the balloon to the members of Team Two. The players should con tinue to bounce
the bal loon back and forth in this way until a team loses the balloon. You may wish to establish the rule that players may not move their
feet during the activity. When a team loses the balloon, show them a vocabulary il lustration and all team members in that team must say
the vocabulary word for it, using the unit’s sentence. Repeat until players in both teams have re sponded a number of times.
