Go out, go by and
go with?
Go on!
Phrasal verbs can
tangle English learners or literal thinkers up! They just don’t mean exactly
what they say. Just like taking a “one a day” multivitamin, teaching and
playing around with one phrasal verb a day can untangle the confusion. Check
out these resources to help:
·
Usingenglish.com
has a quickly referenced dictionary of phrasal verbs as well as verb quizzes
students can complete online. Quizzes on 161 common verbs are ready to go!
·
Go on! Give it a go! Print a wordless comic
strip and work together as a group, adding sticky notes with phrasal verbs.
Working together takes pressure off hesitant students, gives lots of modeling
and practice and is fun! Check out “Owly” comics on: andyrunton.com/owly.
·
Tic-tac-toe: Have students work in pairs, fill in their
own tic-tac-toe grid with nine uses of a verbal phrase (go on, go with, go over...)
Then they play tic-tac-toe with the addition
of acting out or using the verbal phrase in a sentence before they can X or O
that square.
·
5minuteenglish.com/apr29.htm
gives students eight verbal phrases they are likely to hear everyday and a
short quiz with drop down answers to give them a chance to sort out the
meanings.
