Weekend Projects - July 26, 2021
Paid LessonLesson Collection #5 - Lesson 15
This is a high-energy activity in which students need to lend and borrow items in order to do a weekend project. There are four Weekend Project worksheets included with this lesson as well as an additional worksheet which has all 24 items which students will need to complete their projects.
The four Weekend Projects are:
Building a birdhouse
Doing yard work
Wallpapering the bedroom -and-
Washing the car.
In groups of four, students have to ask each other if they have the things they need to do their weekend project. Since everyone is trying to borrow six items as fast as they can AND since everyone needs to lend six items out, the classroom will erupt in excitement.
But that's only half the lesson. Once students have borrowed everything they need to do their weekend project, they must then ask to get the items back which they had lent out. This lesson is guaranteed to make the class bristle with animated conversation.
What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time
Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing
Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing
Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students
We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.

Dear Kurt,
Your lessons are professionally done and most of all fun!
We all find your materials more than just a fun filler even though they do liven things up.
I post each of your lessons on a teacher’s exchange board Mondays at school for the other trainers. The feedback has been nothing but praise.
Keep up the good work.
Margaret Ann Doty - EFL Trainer
