Breakfast Around the World A2_Activity 3

Aim of Activity

10 - 20 mins

Developing pronunciation of key language focused on “I’d like”.

Steps for Students

 

Optional memory game:

  • Think of a sentence starting with “I’d like…” (Example: I’d like a cup of tea).
  • Listen to your classmates and try to remember what they said.
  • When it’s your turn, repeat what your classmates have said and then say your created sentence.
  • Go to: Breakfast Around the World A2_Activity 3
  • Play the video for the students and stop it after each sentence/slide.
  • Ask the students to repeat.
  • Ask some follow up questions (see tips for teachers)

The video has a bonus activity on another topic, make sure you stop it before that (4:32)

  • Make sure that you make the activity as interactive as possible.
  • Ask the students some follow up questions after they have repeated each sentence.
  • Ask them to repeat the sentences one by one and always choose different students.

If you decide to play the game, only have the students repeat a few sentences from the video and then go straight to the game.

Optional (memory game)

  • Explain to the Students that they are going to play a memory game, in which each person has to say “I’d like…” and add a word or a phrase.
    Example: I’d like an apple cake.
  • Explain to the students that they are going to take turns one by one and everyone has to listen to their classmates to remember what they say, because they are going to repeat it. Example:
    Peter: I’d like an apple cake.
    Anna: Peter would like an apple cake and I’d like a cup of tea
    Lucy: Peter would like an apple cake, Anna would like a cup of tea and I’d like some biscuits.
  • Start the game yourself or pick someone to start.
  • Have students take turns one by one. You can use the order in which they are seated or choose the students who will speak next yourself.
  • Make as many turns as possible, so that each student has at least one go.

TIP!

To make the activity more active, you can ask the students some follow up questions after each sentence. Example: “I’d like to lie down”; “How are you feeling?”
Ask the students who would say this sentence and in which situation; ask them, how the person is feeling – energetic or exhausted and sleepy?, etc.
“I’d like to see a doctor” – why would a person say that?

Explain to the students that “I’d” is a shortened version of “I would” and give examples using it in other persons. Explain, that we don’t use the shorter version when saying someone’s name.

Example: I would like/I’d like; she would like/she’d like; we would like/we’d like; Lucy would like/Lucy’d like
