Review phrasal verbs and go through the ones featured on this worksheet (in brackets) to make sure your students are clear about their meanings. Talk about how some phrasal verbs can be split (called "separable") and some can't ("inseparable"). You may like to have your students complete our free Phrasal Verb course on Mica eLearning before the lesson as it explains this in detail with plenty of examples.
It's useful to note that with separable phrasal verbs, if the object is a pronoun it should come in between the verb and the adverb. For example "put me off" not "put off me".
The second part of the worksheets contains 11 very cheesy jokes that contain phrasal verbs. Have the students match them up with their punchline and then laugh together about how bad these jokes are!
