Steps for Students

Activity 5a

Click the link: Activity 5

You are going to play a game.

In small groups, you will need to answer questions ‘What happens if … ?’ . Your teacher will give you time to discuss the answers in your group before you share your ideas with other teams. All teams will then decide on the best and/or the most interesting answer.

Activity 5b

You are going to work in small groups to design a short guide to help teenagers stay healthy. Before you start working on your own guide, remember some of the ideas discussed in Activity 5a.

Activity 5a

📍Start the activity by asking students:
- ‘What happens if you don’t do any exercise?’
- ‘What will happen if you walk 30 min a day?’
Elicit & review the difference between the two conditionals focussing both on the meaning and the form.
Explain that students will soon play a game whereby they will have to answer similar questions related to staying healthy. They will be working in small teams.

Start the game by clicking to spin. Give groups time to come up with ideas and get groups to share ideas. You could get the class to agree on the best ideas for each question.
📍For the game, you can choose two settings:
- Airport lounge
- Slot Machine
- Don’t use ‘The wheel’ where the questions don’t display properly.

Activity 5b

As a follow up, get students to regroup (create bigger groups) and ask students to prepare a ‘Short Guide to Staying Healthy – Tips for Teens by Teens’.
Explain that students can use some the ideas discussed in Activity 5a & Activity 4, and encourage them to add their own ideas.
Give students points for each ‘If’ statement they use in their Guides.
