Activity 2b Play “There is a lot of ...”. 9 min

Objective: to consolidate the construction “There is/are a lot of...”

STEP 1: Divide the class into two teams A and B.

STEP 2: Show a card with an uncountable noun (e.g. juice) to Team A. They must say in chorus: “There is a lot of juice.” STEP 3: Then show another card with an uncountable noun to Team B. They must say their sentence, e.g. “There is a lot of lemonade.”

STEP 4: Show cards with countable nouns. Let them practise “There are a lot of ...”. STEP 5: Mix the cards and show them randomly. When the teams are good, make it faster. STEP 6: If the class is strong, the teams can in turn give words to another team.

e.g. Team A: Sugar.

Team B: There is a lot sugar. etc
