"If I Had a Hammer"

"If I Could Save Time in a Bottle"

Type up the lyrics, but leave blanks for the conditional forms—just provide the verb.

2. The students, working in pairs, fill in the missing verbs.

3. Listen to the song to check answers.

Variation: Add some questions that make use of the conditional or allow students to think about why the conditional was used. For the song "If I Were a Carpenter," questions can include:

a. What kinds of jobs are mentioned?

b. Does the man hold any of these jobs? How do you know?

С. The man asks a lot of questions about occupations, but what does he really want to know from his girlfriend? Write a conditional sentence to express what he wants.

5. LINE-UPS

Materials: Worksheet 2.4 or 3"x 5" cards[13]

Dynamic: Whole class

Time: 20 minutes

Procedure: 1. Use the cards in the worksheet or prepare your own cards with similar questions. If you make your own cards, it is advisable to make each set a different color so you can assemble students in lines more easily. ("Everyone with a pink card, stand against the board. If you have a yellow card, stand in front of someone with a pink card.") Have all the students holding one of the colors come to the front of the room and stand against the board (or wall). Have the other students stand in front of one of these students.

2. The students in the line against the board ask their questions of the student standing in front of them. When the students in the "answer line" have answered the question, they move on to the next "questioner." The students in the "question line" do not move.

3. When the students in the "answer line" have talked to every student in the "question line," it is time to change positions.

Continue as specified in step 2.

4. To wrap up this activity, ask each student to share some of the responses he/she received.

NOTE: If you have an uneven number of students, have one student wait at the end of the line until the students move. One student will always be without a partner, but because the students will answer the questions at different rates, it will always appear as if several students are waiting. If you have a very large class, divide the class in two and do the line-ups both in front and in back of the class.

6. VALUES

Materials: Worksheet 2.5 [14]

Dynamic: Groups

Time: 20 minutes

Procedure: 1. Prepare two sets of cards from Worksheets 2.5 A and 2.5 B. Break the class into small groups. Give each group a values card and a YES or NO card. Stress that they cannot let any of the other groups know if their card says YES or NO.

2. Each group is presented with a situation. They must change the wording on the card into a conditional sentence. They then choose one classmate in another group who they feel will give them the answer on their YES/NO card.

Example:

The card says: You find a wallet with $50 and an ID inside. Do you keep it?

Sentence made by the group: If you found a wal
