My 2nd graders are working on another one of my least favorite things to teach, saying, “I have got…” Do British people actually say this? My boyfriend is Irish, and he says, “I have…,” just like me; whereas, he usually agrees with the “British English” in the students textbooks.
Anyway, we played a variation of the classic summer camp game, “Bob the Weasel.” One student stood in the middle of the circle, and the rest of the students passed a musical hot potato that I have behind their backs until the music stopped. Then, the student in the middle had the opportunity to ask 3 students, “Have you got the potato?,” and each student had to answer, “Yes, I have.,” or, “No, I haven’t.”
They also started learning about “clothes” recently, so I made up another game for us to play. I brought in a big bag of my (clean) clothes and a blindfold. I called up one student at a time and blindfolded them. Then, they had to pick a piece of clothing from the bag, feel it, and guess, “I have got…” They loved this!
I hope these activities can help you spice up your own lessons!
¡Buena suerte!
