4th Grade - Don't Do That
Greeting: Short please game with “Play basketball, soccer, badminton, computer ride a bicycle, motorcycle, roller coaster.”
TPR: Please game: stand up, sit down, make a snowman, fly, wiggle your arms, clap your hands, bend your neck.
Ask students “What did we learn last time” (I like sunny days, I don’t like rainy days, etc.) and throw the fuzzy dice to different students in the classroom. Whoever catches the dice stands up, says a sentence, the class repeats it, and then they throw it to the next player of their choise.
Phonics: practice and then do spelling test.
Let’s Play: Survey game (from curriculum book). Show example up front before passing out sheets so students don’t get distracted.
Roleplay: Hungboo, Nolboo
(bring squeaky hammer, laminated pictures of delicious food, role necklaces.)
Hand out script with role play on it. (preferably without the Korean situation explanation, a little confusing when learning the script) and have groups assign roles and practice for 5 or ten minutes, going from group to group to make sure they’re practicing. Afterwards, each group may come to the front and act out the play without looking at the script. Make sure to tell the student playing “nolboo’s wife” to swing the hammer slowly so hungboo and hungboo’s son have time to say their lines. After each group sits down, say “Applause, ready, go!” and have students clap according to how they think the performers did. The team with the highest scores at the end get a sticker or stamp.

4th Grade - Can You Help Me?
Greeting: “How are you?” Do you like sunny days? “Students respond from chapter 3 “I like ____ days” or “I don’t like _____ days”
Please Game: first review sentences and hand motions with students: PLAY computer soccer tennis baseball RIDE bike, motorcycle, rollercoaster GO skating, skiing, swimming.
Then play PLEASE GAME with these expressions and motions.
Show: “Can you help me” powerpoint and explain to students the meaning of “Sure I can” and “Sorry I can’t"
Game: Matching card game. Partner game. Make 12 sentence cards for each pair of students. 6 of the cards should be "can you help me?" cards with pictures of someone having a problem. The other 6 cards should be "sure I can" cards, with pictures of solving the problem corresponding to each of the 6 problem cards. (For example one "broken model airplane" card and one "airplane fixed" card.) Partners place all 12 cards facedown in front of them on the desk, "can you help me please?" cards on one side and "sure I can" cards on the other. Students play rock paper scissors to decide who starts. The winner picks a card first from the “can you help me please?” cards. The student then must say “can you help me please?” Then that same student picks a card from the “sure I can” pile. If the student happens to pick the card with a matching situation (e.g. girl can’t do homework – mom helping with homework”) then the student says “sure I can!” and keeps both the cards as one point. But if the cards do not match, then the student says “sorry I can’t” and puts both the cards back, face down, and the other player takes their turn. The game continues this way until the cards are gone.

Greeting: Hello, Do you like sunny days? Can you help me? How old are you?
TPR: Play: pool, table tennis, golf Ride: bicycle, horse, pig Go: skating, fishing, jogging Draw: a pig, a giraffe, a rabbit.
Review: Sit down quiz: (for practicing listening to the difference between “How are you?” and “How old are you?”) Each student stands up. Teachers go around the class asking “How are you?” or “How old are you?” randomly to each student. When students answer correctly, they may sit down. Continue until the whole class has been seated.
Let’s Sing. Make hand motions. Learn song. Sing faster and faster until the students can’t sing any faster. Then sing in slow motion, as slow as possible. Then sing as fast as possible one more time.
Phonics: Students often worry about making spelling mistakes. It is helpful if the Korean teacher can explain to them that the goal of the phonics listening/spelling test is only to help listening. There is no grade, and it is not a contest. It is only an exercise to help listening and pronunciation
Musical Dice Game. This game works best with big stuffed dice, but small ones work too. Divide class into 2 or 3 teams. On the chalkboard or whiteboard, write a place for each teams points to be written.
Practice/warm-up: Throw a fuzzy dice to a student in the class. Ask him/her "How old are you?" S/he answers the question and then throws it to someone else and asks the question or throws it back to you.
Game: Each team has 2 dice. When the music starts, the students pass the dice all the way down the row and back so the dice are getting passed through all the students. Then, the teacher stops the music. When the music stops, two students from each of the teams that are playing, stand up, and roll the dice and the sum of the two dice adds up to each team’s ‘age’. Then the teams as a whole, take turns asking each other “How old are you?” and the teams in turn, each answer “I’m ___ years old.” The age counts as points and is written on the chalkboard. After the game is finished, add up the ‘ages’ and the ‘oldest’ team wins.
