I am sure you will like this card game about the Royal Family. It can be integrated into the lesson "The UK is a constitutional monarchy" (Grade 9 Unit 5). The rules are inside the file. The rules seem to be long and complicated, however, do not be lazy, read them carefully and you will find the game quite interesting. It's a nice opportunity to practise speaking.

A very simple video with subtitles to fit the same lesson i.e. "The UK is a consitutional monarchy"

It is a True/False activity for the video above.
Before watching the video project the sentences on the screen by pressing F5.
Ask students to read the sentences and guess if they are True or False.
Play the video and tell students to check their guesses. You can also click anywhere on the presentation to reveal the answers.
Hope you will find the material useful. Waiting for your comments 😁

Tomorrow I will share one awesome activity that can be adapted for any topic. Stay tuned 👀👂😇😄

Here's the activity that my students and I enjoy immensely - Sleeping Pandas 🐼🐼🐼🐼. It allows you to practice listening and speaking. There's also focus on sentence structure. The activity was shared by David Chiesa, a language teaching fellow from the US, at a conference in Tashkent a few years ago. It has become one of my favourites since then.

🐼 Choose a sentence you want to practice. It can be a statement from the text you have read or a rule that you want to review. Divide it into four parts, e.g. "The most famous /British/ royal home is/ Buckingham Palace". Write them on 4 separate pieces of paper.
🐼 Bring four chairs in front of the classroom and call four volunteers to sit on them.
🐼Number them 1-4 and ask them "to sleep". Students "sleep" by closing their eyes and putting their heads down.
🐼When they hear you call their number, i.e. "Number One, wake up", they "wake up" and read the part of the sentence. They have to remember what they see.
🐼 After four rounds, everyone "wakes up" and puts the sentence together.
P.S. If you teach young learners or a beginner class, you can divide a word into 4 parts.
