Update:
The first few slides are reminders to students because I did this lesson in our Multipurpose room. Whenever possible, my JTE and I try to split the class in half and we teach the classes separately.
Giving Directions:
I took it from the one and only UonumaRobert. All credits go to him. I only removed the "go back" option and chose the ones that my other students liked before. Thank you always, Robert san.
- Review and practice the places in school from slides 17 to 30.
- (Slide 31) Play a "What's Missing" kind of game. You can hide the card by clicking it once and reveal it by clicking the white card covering it. What I did in class was asked all of them to close their eyes first, hid one card, chose a student to answer, then asked that same student to hide the next card. We did it several times and increased the number of hidden cards in the later rounds.
- (Slide 32) Change to the picture of your school
- (Slide 33)Keep the cards of the places that are in your school to preview or practice the target sentence. Click the "gym" card to show the target language. I modeled the language first then asked some students to say their favorite places in our school.
I got the school map from Englipedia Archive. Thank you so much!
- (Slide 34) Without actual printed maps given to the students, this is probably best played in small groups. I assigned which students will be on the blue and the green team and chose the leaders as well. I explained where the goal of each team was. I asked the leaders to play RSP to decide who will make the first move. (Click the wheel icon to display and spin it and the stop icon to hide it) You have several options on how you'd like to go about this part of the game. What we did was the winner said "stop" while the wheel was spinning first. I controlled the PC because of the Rona, otherwise, I'd let them spin and stop it themselves. The number of clicks on the marker icon of the team was based on the number they got on the wheel. After the marker reached the destination room, I elicited its name and asked students to guide me there from the starting position using direction words. Then it was the losing team's turn. We did it a few times until all students had the chance to stop the wheel.
Please feel free to use and modify as needed. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

The map of the school at the end. Maybe add a copy as a separate word document or pdf.
Whoa!
I love spot the dog! Great concept and straight to the target expressions.
@UonumaRobert thanks for the tip. I added the word document. Thanks again for the fun, "Spot the Dog" game 🙏
@OdafromTajima all credits go to @UonumaRobert 😊
No problem ccabusas. I'm sure Spot the Dog was glad to be taken out for a walk again.
So cute!! Thank you, you guys <3
You can tell what was going on in the world when this was first posted.
This is awesome!
spot the dog looks fun! thank you!
I love the inclusion of the first 4 slides even though we're out of those times. But even during flu season, I find the slide about not yelling at your classmates very useful.
I teach at a hospital school and my classes are one on one. The student loooved Spot the Dog, the vocab review (which was more exciting than usual cause of some of the animations), and the directions game. Even though it was just one student, she had fun being both the green pin and the blue pin!! Thanks for making this!!! It's perfect to use right from the download (I skipped the first 4 slides).
