Summer: Scavenger Hunt

Each day for half an hour before lunch, our summer camp groups get together to learn to sing and dance to a song that ties into our camp theme. For the fairy tale themed camp, this song matches perfectly and is so catchy and fun. After getting comfortable with the words, we teach choreography that highlights the meaning of key phrases and practice staging so we can impress family and friends with a performance at the end of camp show.

Here are the lyrics and 3 fun worksheets to help the students learn the words and dance moves.

Superlatives

Superlative adjectives are used to describe an object which is at the uppermost or lowermost limit of a quality (the tallest, the smallest, the fastest, the highest). They are used in sentences where a subject is compared to a group of objects.

Superlatives are formed by adding +EST to the end of an adjective.

• Tallest

• Softest

• Shortest

• Thinnest

• Strongest

For adjectives with three or more syllables, modify the adjective by writing 'most' before it.

• Most beautiful

• Most intelligent

• Most important

In some cases, the entire adjective changes.

• Best

• Worst

• Farthest

Some adjectives have a spelling change in the superlative form. If the adjective has a 'consonant' + 'vowel' + 'consonant' spelling, double the last letter before adding +EST

• big - biggest

• fat - fattest

• sad - saddest

If the adjective ends in 'Y', the 'Y' changes to an 'i' before adding +ER

• happy - happiest

• lazy - laziest

If the adjective ends in 'E' simply add +ST

• large - largest

the definite article 'the' comes before a superlative in a sentence.

• Elephants are the biggest animals.

• My sister is the shortest in the family.

Taboo

Divide the class into two teams. Have the students write words (can be adapted for adjectives, verbs, nouns) on small pieces of paper and return them to the teacher. One student from team 1 must choose a piece of paper. They have one minute to describe the word to their team without using the word itself. Play until one team reaches the winning number of cards. (To be determined by the teacher.)

A game to practice paraphrasing and build vocabulary.

Take turns choosing everyday objects or activities to describe, without using the name of the thing. The other person must guess. E.g. (tennis) A game you play on a court, with a racket. You hit a ball over a net...etc.

The Chain Game

Choose a category with heaps of different nouns to choose from. For example Animals, Sports, Food, Countries or even sports teams or pop stars. Brainstorm nouns for that category then assign 1 per student. Have them label themselves clearly, with a paper headband, sash, flashcard*, sticker or similar.

Explain that they need to all link into 1 long chain, but to make each connection they need to form a sentence using a comparative.

For example:

  • Elephants are bigger than lions
  • Lions are stronger than cats
  • Cats are smarter than Giraffes
  • Giraffes are taller than pigs
  • Pigs are dirtier than dolphins

Help them with adjective ideas if needed but encourage them to form the complete sentence to make the comparison, as they will have studied in class.When they're in a line, have them say their comparative 'link' sentence out loud. Or, as a fun twist, have them take turns walking along the line and guessing the linking expression between the other pairs.If they have already studied superlatives too, then have the last person in the line come up with a statement with a superlative to declare at the end. For example "and Puppies are the cutest animals in the world!".

Used To Vs Would

We use 'used to' to talk about something that was true in the past but is not true now.

• There used to be a park here, but now there’s a shopping centre.

• My grandmother used to have blonde hair, but now her hair is grey.

You can also say 'used to' to talk about states (things that were true for a long period of time) or repeated actions (things that happened several times):

• I used to live in Denver. (True for a long period of time)

• I used to go to the park every Friday. (A repeated action)

Write adverbs before used to:

• I always used to cycle to school.

• I never used to eat vegetables.

You can use 'would' in a similar way to used to. It describes things that were true in the past but are not true now:

• When I was a child, my dad would read to me every night.

Would CANNOT be used to talk about states. It can only be used to talk about repeated actions.

• There would be a park here. (wrong)

• There used to be a park here. (correct)

What are you doing? Present Continuous Game

Have the students stand in a circle. The first student starts miming an action. The next student turns to them and asks "What are you doing?"

The first student must reply, in a complete sentence using the present continuous tense, describing any action that is NOT what they were miming. At which point the second student must start miming whatever the first person said. This continues around the circle in a chain.  After a few rounds to get used to the pattern, start 'eliminating' students who can't think of an action to describe, repeats an action already described, or (depending on levels) doesn't form the sentence correctly.

For example:

Student 1: mimes brushing his hair

Student 2: What are you doing?

Student 1: I'm walking my dog

Student 2: mimes walking a dog

Student 3: What are you doing?

Student 2: I'm eating an ice-cream

Student 3: mimes eating an ice-cream

.... and so on around the circle

It's a great way for students to show their sense of humour as they realise they can make their classmates act out silly things. It also motivates them to think of a wide variety of interesting verbs. Best of all, it repeats the present continuous structure over and over without being boring, and connects it to the purpose of why it's used.

Use 'going to' when there is evidence about what is going to happen.

You Were There!

A game to practice was/were:

Have all students except for 1 stand in a random order in a line. Let 1 student look at the line for 10 seconds then close their eyes while the others scramble the line by taking a new position. The student opens their eyes then has to put them back into the original order saying 'You were there, he was there etc'.

Variations:

In the first stage have them strike a pose for 1 seconds doing an obvious action (brushing teeth, playing volleyball etc). The chosen student tries to remember each person's pose 'You were tying your shoelace' etc.

In the first stage the students choose a place in the classroom to stand. Then the chosen student tries to remember each person's position 'You were under the desk' etc.
