TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE - BOARD GAME

Today, I want my students to interact and cooperate with each others in order to talk about the future. For that reason, I created a Board Game that will serve them as a guide to practise their speaking skills.

They will be divided in groups of two or three students. Here you have the Board Game:

LISTEN AND CHECK

You all know that listening activities are also very important. Here you have a link to practice your listening skills and also the grammar from Unit 1: future tenses. There we go!

A FUNNY GAME: GUESS THE MOVIE!

In Unit 3, we are talking about films and TV.

Today we have played this funny game in the classroom. I have read a short synopsis of different famous film and students have tried to guess it. Here you have the ones we have worked with:

Movie 1:

The boy's world changes on his 11th birthday. A giant man informs him that he's a real wizard, and will soon go to a special wizard school. He also realizes that, in the wizard world, he's a hero. When he was a child, an evil sorcerer killed his parents and tried to kill him too; but he didn't. He has been living with his uncle, his aunt and his horrible cousin, and he hates them all. Therefore, he's very happy when he starts in his new school: it's an enormous castle! There, he becomes best friends with a boy with red hair and a very intelligent girl, with whom he will live a lot of adventures.

Movie 2:

In a dystopian future, the nation is divided into 12 districts and the Capitol. Each year two young representatives from each district are chosen by lottery to participate in a game which is broadcast throughout all the nation. The 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors and kill each others to survive; only one person can remain alive.

Movie 3:

In a happy neighborhood there is a simple black house. What the neighbors don’t know is that hidden in this home, there is secret hideout of a villain. He lives with a big army of small yellow creatures, which speak an unknown language. This villain has a plan; the most incredible plan in the history of the world: he is going to steal the moon. But someday, he meets three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad.

Movie 4:

This is the story of a little creature who lives under the sea and who dreams of going on land and meet her prince. She visits a witch, who changes her tail into two legs. Now, she can go on land, but she has completely lost her spectacular voice and she can't talk to her prince and make him fall in love.

Solutions:

1. Harry Potter

2. The Hunger Games

3. Despicable Me

4. The Little Mermaid
