Mr Lazy - giving advice

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.
