Hi everyone! I find Unit 3, "I like Mondays" of the Let's Try textbook a little dry so I've try to spice it up with some songs and activites.
First off- I used the "Days of the Week" song by Super Simple Songs on Youtube. I will introduce that song for the first class and keep playing it over the course of the unit. Near the end of the unit I also introduce an Addams Family version of "days of the week" which is a little diffucult but enjoyable for the students.
Here is the super simple song link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXMofxtDPUQ&list=RDmXMofxtDPUQ&start_radio=1

Anyways, on to the activity.
How to play
-Each student gets a day of the week card
-They must walk around and ask other students "Do you like~~~~" and find their days of the week match
-Once they match with all their group, they sit down.
For example if there are 30 students:
5 Monday cards
5 Tuesday cards
4 Wednesday cards
4 Thursday cards
4 Friday cards
4 Saturday cards
4 Sunday cards
On the board I write the amount of cards in each group, so they know how many people they need to match with. Attached are Days of the Week cards you can use.
The game gets a little rowdy but the students enjoy it!
