This lesson plan is about giving advice, and involves creating grammar chants to present and practise target structures.
Age group – young learners
Level – pre-intermediate/intermediate
Through the use of chants, grammar can be introduced in a young learner-friendly context with the added benefit of attention to natural pronunciation features such as rhythm and stress. This lesson is an attempt to introduce the use of ‘should’ and ‘shouldn’t’ in a fun, engaging and meaningful way. However, it can easily be adapted to introduce a variety of structures by creating your own simple chants.

Nice chant and problem cards but where did the verb "to blob", as in "he shouldn't blob" come from? I can guess a meaning for it but I've never heard it used and can't find any examples of it anywhere, therefore, is it useful to teach it?
I think that the lesson plans should be ok, however, i cannot see them. It would be better if it can be approached more easily than this.

This was just what I was looking for. Thanks

Thank you for this lesson plan. I have used it in my class. My students liked it especially the problem cards. Problem cards activity made my students talk even the ones who are not inclined to talk much in English
By the way I also couldn't find the verb "Blob" that you used in the chant. I hope you will explain it.
This lesson is indeed good to teach the use of 'should and 'shouldn't in a fun interesting way.But most my students prefer to use have to, has to instead of 'should'
