"Health Check-in Circle" Students stand in a circle. Teacher quickly asks each student, "How are you today?" Students can answer with simple phrases like "I'm fine," "I'm a little tired," or even use simple ailment descriptions they know. This is a quick, personalized warm-up.

Flashcard Chain Reaction Teacher flashes a flashcard (ex. "toothache"). The first student says the word and then adds a related word or phrase (ex. "dentist"). The next student says that word/phrase and adds another (ex. "medicine"). Continue the chain as quickly as possible. This reinforces vocabulary connections.

Dialogue Expansion Teacher shows the basic dialogue on the screen: Student A: "What's the matter with you?" Student B: "I've got a stomachache." Teacher: "You must stay home. You mustn't eat chocolate." Teacher then models expanding the dialogue, adding details: Teacher: "What's the matter with you?" Student: "I've got a stomachache. It hurts a lot, especially after I eat." Teacher: "You must stay home and rest. You mustn't eat chocolate or anything oily. Drink some herbal tea." Students then chorally repeat the expanded dialogue.

Ailment Scenario Cards & Advice Relay Prepare ailment scenario cards. Each card describes a person with a specific ailment and some related details (ex. "A young boy has a cough and a runny nose. He's been sneezing all day."). Divide the class into 2 or 3 teams. Each team gets a set of scenario cards. Students take turns picking a card, reading it aloud, and then running to a designated area where they must give advice to a "patient" (another student on their team). The "patient" can ask follow-up questions. After giving advice, the "doctor" tags the next teammate, and the relay continues. This encourages more extended speaking.

Health Problem Ball Toss - Extended Conversations Divide the class into 2 or 3 teams. Teacher tosses the ball to a student. That student says, "What's the matter with you?" and tosses the ball to another student. The second student catches the ball and creates a health problem, saying "I've got a…[ailment] and [additional symptom]." They then toss the ball to a third student who must give advice using "You must/mustn't…" and explain why. Example: "You must drink lots of water because you're dehydrated. You mustn't have sugary drinks because they'll make it worse." Continue the game, focusing on expanding the conversations.
