I basically just edited the file a little, and added a few more challenges for the kids.

This activity is ideal for ES students. The target language:
[Can you do it/[Can you ~?]
[Yes, I can! ]
[No, I can't. ]
Some students may enjoy displaying their physical abilities or lack thereof according to the images in the presentation, even other physical quirks they may have, which adds more fun to this activity.

It's a great way to get up off their seats and do a little physical warm-up before the lesson proper, while still practicing speaking the target language.

Teacher and students to chant the question in unison, then try to do the physical challenge, then answer yes/no in full sentence.

      Should be noted that the last slide with the tongue rolling apparently means something dirty in Japan. I found out today in class. But the rest of the slide was a hit! Thank you!
