Go fish! • Fun! • Competitive! • Adaptable!
Go fish! How to play: • Deal four cards to each player • You want three of the same card. When you get them, put them down. • The first player asks another player, “Have you got...?” • If yes: The player says, “Yes, I have,” and gives the card to the first player. • If no: The player says, “No, I haven’t. Go fish!” Then the first player must take another card from the pile. • When a player has zero cards, stop. The player with the most sets of threes is the winner!
Go fish! Variation 1: Countable vs. uncountable nouns “Have you got a book?” “Have you got any chalk?” “Have you got a pair of scissors?” Let’s play!
Go fish! Variation 2: Be polite! Use modals, with borrow and lend: “Would you lend me a book?” “Could I borrow some chalk?” (“Of course!” or “Not right now, sorry. Go fish!”) Let’s Play!

Form, Meaning, Use: for grammar learning.
Form: how to make or create the grammar structure (think of a formula in math class, “2+2=4” or “Subject + verb + either + object + or + object.”) Meaning: the significance or meaning of the whole when different parts of grammar are put together “You can either go to the zoo or to the park (BUT NOT BOTH).” Use: how the grammar is used in daily life or applied to different social situations Deviations from the accepted social usage at best sounds strange or confusing to the listener. At worst, the speaker can sound rude or offensive.
Form, Meaning, Use Example • “will/going to” • Form: • “will” = subject + will + verb ... • “going to” = subject + to be + going to + verb … • Meaning: (one of the many…) • “will” =at the moment of making a decision, use 'will'. • UNPLANNED FUTURE EVENTS • “going to” = once you have made the decision, talk about it using 'going to'. • PLANNED FUTURE EVENTS • Use: • Ganna: “I’m going to go to the restroom.” • Jenny: “Wait, I’ll go with you. Sogii, I am going to go the restroom with Ganaa. Will you hold my purse?” • Sogii: “Sure. I’ll wait here for you.” • -- Ganna had already thought about going to the restroom before she spoke so she used “going to”. Jenny decided to go with Ganaaas she spoke so she used “will”. She used “going to” in the next sentence because her actions had already been planned. Sogii decided her future actions as she spoke so she used “will.”

Modals Form/Meaning Activity:Weather forecasts • Ss practice forming sentences with correct modals of prediction • Pictures and percentages help Ss understand the meaning of the modals • Fun card game activity
Weather Forecasts How to play: • Separate the word cards and the weather cards. • Deal the word cards out to students. • Turn over one of the weather cards. • Look at the percentage (%) written on the card. • If a student has a card that corresponds to that probability, the student can take the card and make a sentence. • The student keeps the cards as a pair. • The student with the most pairs at the end wins.
Weather Forecasts • Example: It may very well be sunny tomorrow. may very well Tomorrow: 70%

Weather Forecasts Logical Modals: Prediction
Modals Use Activity:Making inferences with pictures • SCATEGORIES! • A competitive game adaptable for many activities • Here, we will make it into a “USE” activity: Looking at a picture and making an inference comes very close to how we use inference modals in real life! • Students are divided into teams. • The teacher shows the class a picture and asks a question. • Students must write down answers to the question for 3 minutes. • The team with the most ORIGINAL answers wins. • If two teams write the same answer, no one gets a point.
