Today, Ms. Lâm has some new rules for our class!
"
Before, we had no rules… but now we do! 😆
Okay, Let’s see what you must do and what you must not do in my class.
But… do you know the rules?
that’s okay, let’s play a game to find out!
A. WARM UP
Okay, look at the screen!
I have some rules here… but some words are missing!
Don’t worry! Look at the picture below. It is a hint!
You have to guess the rule.
Who can guess first and get it right?, you get 1 point! 🎉
"Ready? Let’s start!"
1. Now, the first rule! You must ____ your teacher.
Who wants to guess first?
Look at the picture! What is the missing word? "Come on! What do you do when the teacher talks? - It starts
with 'L'… Li…? (Students say "Listen to!")
Yes! You must listen to your teacher! Great job! (When I am talking, you cannot talk. We cannot talk at the same time, right? Good! So
when the teacher is talking, you must listen first, then you can speak. That’s the rule!)
2. Next one! "You must not ____________ in class."
Oh no! What is this student doing? - Can we use the phone in class?"
"That’s right! You must not use the phone in class!
Yes! If you use your phone, you don’t focus on my lesson! No phone in my class, please.
3. Let’s try another one! You must ______________.
Look! What is this student doing? - It starts with 'D'... Do…?
Yes! You must do your homework! Well done! (If you don't do your homework, I will cry… and fall down! Do you want to see your teacher cry? -
No? Then do your homework, please!)
4. The Last one! - You must not ____________ in class.
Teacher: "Oh no! What is this student doing?"
Should we sleep in class? - You must not sleep in class! (If you don’t do your homework, I might cry… but if you sleep in class, I
might leave the country! Do you want your teacher to cry and leave forever? No? Then stay awake in class!)
"Amazing! You did great! Alright! Now we all know the rules in Ms. Lam’s class! No sleeping, no phones,
do your homework, and always listen! Easy, right? I’m so simple and easy-going (Just kidding! 😆 I have many rules!
(laughs) But they are good rules, right?)
"Now, what about other places?
Where do we have rules? School? cinema? The library?"
Yes! Every place has its own rules!
"Now, let’s listen to some rules in the library!"
"In the audio, you will listen to some library rules. Listen carefully and count them!"
"When you hear a new rule, show one finger to count. At the end, we will check how many rules you heard."
"For example, if I say: 'In the classroom, you must not run. You must be quiet.'
How many rules?" (Two!)
"Very good! Are you ready? Now, it's time to listen!
So, how many rules in the library did you hear ?"
🖐 "Raise your hand if you have an answer!"
"Can you remember any of the rules? I’ll ask a few of you.
Do you remember any of the rules?
…Now, let's listen one more time! I have a small task for you. Listen carefully and mark the correct
sentences with a check (✓) and the incorrect ones with a cross (✗).
Okay, look at the screen! Here are some sentences for you. Read them quickly and listen carefully!"
👉 "Alright, have you read them? Now, let’s start.
Now, let’s check your answers! If the rule is wrong, we will fix it together!
Now, the first one, Is this correct?" hoặc "Is this sentence right?
Is this correct? Yes, incorrect. So What should the sentence say? what is the correct/ right sentence?
"Great job, everyone! 🎉
👉 Now, let’s try something fun! Can you guess the rule just by looking at the sign? 🤔
Okay, let's play a game—this is Guess the Sign! 🚀 Ready?"
B. GAME ĐOÁN BIỂN BÁO
And how to play:
I will divide the class into 2 teams.
We have 10 signs.
Your team will guess the rule.
Use ‘must’ or ‘must not’ to say the rule
The team with the most correct answers will be the winner!
You got it?
What do you have to do? (Guess the rule!)
What words do you use? (Must / Must not!)
Alright! Now, let’s make teams!
📌 I will divide the class into 2 teams.
Team 1: Hoài, Huy, Trang...
Team 2: Nhi, Huyền Trang
Use "must" or "must not" to say the rule.
Ready? Let’s go!
1. You must not smoke.
🔹 What’s the rule? (Point to the sign)
👉 This sign shows a cigarette with a red line through it. What does it mean?
2. You must not take photos.
🔹 Does anyone know this rule?
👉 The sign shows a camera with a red line through it. What does it mean?
3. You must not bring pets.
🔹 Look at this sign! (Show a pet with a red line)
(Nếu học sinh nói: "No dog" hoặc "Don't cat")
👉 "Yes, it’s about pets! But the rule is: You must not bring pets."
4. You must not shout.
Wow, great answer! 'You must be quiet' is a very good way to say it. It means the same as 'You must not
shout.' So, both answers are correct!"
5. You must bring the library card.
🔹 What do you need to borrow books?
👉 "Yes!
6. You must not bring food inside.
🔹 What does this sign mean?
(Nếu học sinh nói: "You must not eat here.")
👉 "That's close! But the rule means no food at all, even if you don’t eat it."
7. You must return books on time.
🔹 We learned this rule in the listening part. Who remembers it?
8. You must throw garbage in the trash can.
Yes, what you said is also correct! My answer is 'You must throw garbage in the trash can.' Both are okay,
they still work, so you still get 1 point!
9. You must line up.
Wow, great job! That’s right! You can say 'Queue' or 'Stand in line,' or maybe another way, like mine: 'You
must line up,' and they mean the same thing.
10. You must wear headphones.
Okay, now! Team 1 has ... points, Team 2 has ... points! And the winner is... Team! You were on fire,
But Team Y, you also did great! You had some really good answers!
Hoặc nếu hòa:
"Wow! It’s a tie! Both teams did a great job! Well done, everyone!
Thank you, everyone, for playing this game!
And now, to make sure you can read these signs correctly, let's read them together with me!
C. ACTIVITY 1
Great job, everyone! Now, let’s move on to the next activity. This time, you will make YOUR own rules!
Here’s how we play:
I will divide you into two teams.
Each team gets two places (classroom, library, restaurant, etc.). Keep it secret!
Write three rules for each place
You must use "must" and "must not" to say the rules.
You have 3 minutes in your breakout room to discuss.
When you come back, read your rules. The other team guesses the place!
"Alright! Let’s check if you understand!"
📌 ICQs:
How many places do you get? (Two!)
How many rules for each place? (Three!)
What words must you use? (Must / Must not!)
How much time do you have? (Three minutes!)
"Perfect! Now, let’s make teams!"
Team 1: Hoài, Huy, Trang...
Team 2: Nhi, Huyền, Trang...
I’m sending each team a Padlet link. Discuss and write your answers there.
Thu Trang and Huyền Trang, I’ve already sent you the link—please share it with your team.
Wait a second! Huyền Trang, Thu Trang, did you see your team’s Padlet link?
"Now, I’ll put you into breakout rooms. You have 3 minutes to discuss and write your rules. Ready? Let’s
go!"
(Checking time) "Time’s up! Welcome back! Now, let’s play!"
Team 1, read your rules! Team 2, guess the place!
Now, switch! Team 2, read your rules! Team 1, guess the place
What place is it, Team 1?
Team 1, is that the right answer?
Team 2, do you want to give them a hint?
"Alright, let’s check the scores!"
Team 1 has ... points.
Team 2 has ... points.
The winning team is ...! (Or: "It’s a tie! Well done, both teams!")
Great job, everyone!
"I love how both teams worked together!"
"You all used ‘must’ and ‘must not’ really well!"
"Let’s give both teams a big round of applause!"
"Great job, everyone! Now, let's make it more challenging!"
D. ACTIVITY 2
📌 "This time, we will change the rules and guess!"
👩🏫 How to play:
Each team takes out one rule from their list.
Give your lists to the other team.
Look at the new list and guess the missing rule!
After guessing, add one new rule to the list.
Read the new list, and the other team checks if it's correct!
For example:
Team 1 has these rules for the library:
You must be quiet.
You must not bring food inside.
You must return books on time.
Now, Team 1 removes "You must return books on time." and gives the list to Team 2.
Team 2, what’s the missing rule?
Yes! It’s "You must return books on time."
Now, Team 2 adds a new rule, like: You must not bring pets.
Finally, Team 2 reads the updated rules, and Team 1 checks!
"Got it? Now, I will send you the Padlet link. Each team, write your list with the missing rule so the other
team can see and answer! Did you see the padlet link?
Now, let's go to breakout rooms again! You have 3 minutes. Ready? Let’s go!"
"Time’s up! Welcome back! Now, let’s play!"
Team 2, read your updated rules! Team 1, check and see if it's right.
"Team 2, is it correct?"
(✅ Nếu đúng: "Great! Well done, Team 1!")
(❌ Nếu sai: "Not quite! Team 2, can you give a hint?")
(Sau khi có câu trả lời đúng)
"Nice work! Now, let's give the points!"
"Team 1 has ... points, Team 2 has ... points!"
"Thank you, everyone! Now, let's move to the final part!"
"Great job, everyone! Now, let's move to the final activity!"
E. FREER ACTIVITY
For this activity, you will work alone.
How to play:
Each of you will choose one place.
Write the rules:
Use must and must not
After that, you will take turns sharing your rules with the class.
Example:
📍 Place: Swimming pool
You must take a shower before swimming.
You must not run.
You must not eat in the pool.
"Got it? Now, take 3 minutes to write your rules!"
"Time’s up! Now, let’s share!"
"Great work! Let’s check together!
Quick Review:
👩🏫 "Before we finish, let’s review what we learned today!"
When do we use ‘must’? (For rules and strong advice!)
Example: You must wear a seatbelt in a car.
When do we use ‘must not’? (For things you can’t do!)
Example: You must not use your phone in the cinema.
Can you give me one more example? (Call on a few students to answer.)
👍 "Fantastic! You did a great job today. Keep practicing, and see you next time!"
