Before the main class began, the students had a Word Search sheet to look up words related to Holidays. I didn't want to waste too much time on that so I gave them five minutes to look up as many words as they can and they were impressive.
Word Search- Holidays
We discussed words related to vacations- things you can do during the holiday, places to go, and ways to plan:
Vocabulary handout- Vacations
For the next exercise, you need a die and three different coloured player pieces. We played a board game that I made very easily on Word: the rules of the game were simple:
The first player moves the number on the die. They ask the next player in turn a question based on the picture they've landed on (e.g. Did you go swimming this holiday?) If the next player answers Yes, they move forward once, otherwise they move backward once. The student that reaches the Finish square first wins.
At the end of the game, the winning student received an English-Arabic dictionary.
I have tried uploading the Board Game to Google Docs, but the pictures are getting messed up during the upload. I expect it has something to do with a change in format. For now, I've attached a picture of the board game. If you want the bigger version, don't hesitate to contact me, it is available upon request.
The listening exercises were based on three audios from Randall's ESL Listening Lab: Hotel Reservations, Immigration and Customs, and Sightseeing in Town
Listening Exercises
The class had fewer exercises than usual because the board game took a while to play.
For homework, the students read two examples of holiday descriptions, one positive and the other negative, and were asked to write their own holiday description.
