Play "Charades" to review occupations the students mastered in Levels 1, 2 and 7: teacher, clerk, cashier, waitress and bus driver. After the students have guessed these occupations, add "doctor" and "police officer". The students mastered these words orally in Level 1, but they haven’t seen them for a long time. Whisper the translation for these occupations to the students acting them out, and help the class guess the occupations with lots of prompts and encouragement. You can, for example, draw blanks on the blackboard and slowly write in the letters as you sound
out more and more of each occupation.
Demonstrate "player" "team" "game" with six volunteers and a game of "spelling bee" divide the volunteers into two teams of three. Give player a sheet of coloured paper to hold, the same colour for each team.
Demonstrate "win" and "lose" after the game is done. Point to the teams and as you say "You win/lose"
Pause after Number 1 in the student book.
Review the story so far. Li Ming and Jenny have been learning about sports. Look at the pictures in the student book. What are they doing now?
Note some of the idiom in this lesson: Bob plays basketball "for fun" Jenny and Li Ming "jump up and down" Li Ming asks Jenny "What’s the score?" What do the students think these phrases mean?
Divide the class into small groups. In each group. Some students pretend that they want to learn a game that the other students know how to learn a game that you play in class.
