Using have got
Overview
Welcome to our beginner lesson on the use of 'have got'. In this lesson, students will get to grips with this common English construction, reviewing its structure and usage to convey possession or attributes.
The lesson plan offers suggested boardwork to visually introduce the target language. It also includes several low-resource ESL classroom activities that provide students with opportunities to use 'have got' in practical contexts, such as inquiring about someone's family and describing their own. To solidify understanding and add an element of fun, the lesson concludes with a suggested classroom game tailored to reinforce the target language.

Use of the board
Presenting complex language on the board can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially for new teachers. That's why each plan includes helpful suggestions and notes on how to effectively present the target language of the lesson.
