Lesson Plans: Phrasal Verbs

Students try to make and explain phrasal verbs with a fun card game based on pelmanism/ pairs/ the memory game, but with any combination okay as long as they can justify it.

Students roll a dice twice to decide what verb and particle (adverb or preposition) to use to make an example sentence or continue a story, with three versions so over 100 possible combinations.

A fun card game based on Othello to practise multiword verbs with opposite meanings, with different game variations - also good practice or presentation of verbs and particles which are antonyms.

Card game to memorise phrasal verbs

Multiword verbs speaking practice through a storytelling game, with verb cards and preposition and adverb cards to combine in any way that students can/ want to in order to continue their tale.

Phrasal verbs and other multiword verbs including the particle "back" situations to discuss, followed by checking their memory of which verbs have each meaning and the language of advice.

Typical sentences with verb + back to use, a test of their memory of the verbs they were just using, then situations to roleplay for freer practice of multiword verbs.
