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.

My life as an English teacher changed dramatically when I purchased all of the great lessons from EFL4U.com. I use them constantly! My students always light up when I bring one to class. Truly fab. Fun, creative, educational.

Hello, Kurt!
It’s always very stimulating to get my e-mail every Sunday morning because I know there will be one of your lessons in it. I read them every week and have tried to put them in practice. I must say they really work! Thanks a lot for the great lessons. As a teacher and teacher trainer, sometimes I run out of ideas. Your lessons are very important, not only for me but for my trainees as well.
Best regards,
Ilza Nascimento
Hi Kurt,
After reading the other testimonials, I really agree with them! I have taught ESL for 20+ years and I am always looking for exciting materials for my adult students. Your worksheets have hit the jackpot! They have captured the attention of my adult students. Observing them last night with the adjective synonyms, they were staying past the dismissal time and working to explore and complete the worksheet. Thank you, Thank you.
