In this video, we took the notes from our "Animals" lesson and turned it into a detailed lesson plan. And then we taught it to some students on our campus (and recorded a video of it so you can see what this kind of lesson looks like when it's taught in a classroom). Remember that moment when Michael got hit in the head with the ball!? Here is a noisy, fun, and interactive ESL vocabulary lesson that is great for all ages. And to make things even better, you can teach many other kinds of vocabulary using the same activities in this lesson.
