Hello amazing teachers! 👋
Have you ever noticed how one small word can be a big challenge for our students? We're talking about the verb GET. In everyday English, "get" is a magic word! ✨ It’s used all the time and has so many different meanings. Mastering it is essential for students to sound natural and understand real conversations.
That's why we are so excited to show you our newest activity, redesigned to make this tricky word easy and fun!
GET: The Magic Word
This big activity covers the 10 most common uses of "get" and is packed with 10 different interactive sections. We promise that after your students complete this, they will finally get it! 😉
This isn't just one game; it's a full lesson plan with lots of variety to keep your students focused and having fun.
Here’s a quick look at what’s inside:
Learn and Guess the 10 Uses
Students start by exploring the 10 main meanings of "get," like receive, become, buy, and understand. They can learn them with pictures, explanations and examples. It's a perfect introduction!
Transform It! (Rewrite the Sentences)
This is where students put their knowledge into practice! They are given a sentence like "I received a postcard" and have to rewrite it using "get" (I got a postcard). It’s a great way to build confidence.
Multiple Choice Challenge
This section really checks for understanding. Students read a sentence with a blank and must choose the correct use of "get" to complete it. It’s a fantastic way to see if they know the difference between "getting sick" (become) and "getting a package" (receive).
Video Clips Game! 🎮
Who doesn't love learning with movies? In this section, students watch short video clips from famous movies and identify the "get" phrases. It’s a super fun way to see the word used in real contexts.
And So Much More!
The fun doesn't stop there. This activity also includes "Get Phrases," story choices, open questions for conversation practice, a downloadable PDF, and a final auto-correcting test to track progress.
