Huggy Wuggy

Level: B1 Time: 60 min

Plug and play lesson on the controversial topic of Huggy Wuggy the character from a video game called Poppy Platime. The video game is rated for children ages 12 and above. However, law enforcement officials warn that some fan-made videos featuring the character start out with very child-friendly visuals that quickly turn nightmarish so younger children may access them without realizing their true nature.

The police warnings and concerned parents posting appaling comments made Huggy Wuggy a true craze. Which makes it perfect for an up-to-date lesson.

Enjoy.

Stuff That Animals Can & Can’t Do

Time: 45-60 min Level: YL

Lucas the Spider is my all times favorite conversation starter for Young learners. This time he is trying to play hide and seek with a chameleon. He is not doing so great, obviously.

Perfect opportunity to introduce or practice can/can’t strutures and movement/activity vocabulary. I started with a vocabulary presententation in Wordwall and let students play with it for some time.

After that we watched the video and talked about the story.

Finally I put two sentnces on the board ‘Lucas can…’ and ‘Lucas can’t… ‘ We brainstormed different ways to finish the sentences. Eventually I distributed the handouts and everybody completed the first two columns.

The last activity was to go outside and find some other animals. Scan them with a GoogleLense, learn about them and complete the table with more information.

Being an artist

Level: B2 Time: 90min

Some of my students are really artistic. Musicians, painters, video creators etc. this lesson is a tribute to their hobbies and interests.

You can use it with any group that is open to talk about their artistic behaviors. It starts with a discussion on what is art, talent and being creative. After that I recommend a WordWall vocabulary presentation and practice. After that a couple of comprehension questions that can work as a starting point for discussion.
