Let's Go to the Park! Making Suggestions

Learning Objectives

• Make suggestions with Let's …, Why don't we …? and How about …ing?
• Agree and politely disagree with a suggestion.
• Plan an activity with a partner using suggestions.

How to Use This Resource

• Ask: "It's Saturday. What can we do?" Write children's ideas, then turn them into suggestions.
• Teach the three patterns and answers, then do activities 1 and 2 together.
• Children complete activities 3 to 6 and plan a day with a partner. Use the quiz and send the homework page home.

Classroom Activity Ideas

• Suggestion ball: throw a ball; the catcher makes a suggestion and the thrower agrees or disagrees.
• Weather plans: show a weather card (rain, sun, snow); pairs suggest a fitting activity.
• Plan a party: groups use suggestions to agree on food, games and music.

Differentiation

Support: use only Let's and Good idea! / Sorry, I can't. Challenge: children answer no with a reason and make a new suggestion.

Assessment

Use the worksheet and quiz to check the verb forms. Use the rubric while pairs plan their day.

Teacher Tips

The most common mistake is How about go… instead of How about going… Practice the three patterns with hand signals: one finger for Let's, two for Why don't we, three for How about. Teach that a polite no often gives a reason: Sorry, I can't. I have a piano lesson.
