Welcome to
ESL Printables,
the website where English Language teachers exchange resources:
worksheets, lesson plans, activities, etc.
Our collection is growing every day with the help of many teachers. If
you want to download you have to send your own contributions.
This is a collection of fun pick-up lines great for fun speaking practice, practising questions or practising the imperative.
This is how I would use this:
1. Create Interest - Ask the students to discuss what they think a chat-up/pick-up line is.
2. Try and get someone to give examples of lines they have had used on them. This will get the whole class laughing.
3. Give out a copy of the chat-up lines to groups of up to four students and ask them to choose their favourite.
4. Get feedback on their favourite lines.
5. If you are teaching a particular grammatical topic like questions or imperatives you can ask the students to come up with their own ones using either the imperative or a correctly formed question.
6. Ask the students to discuss if lines work and if not then to come up with their own suggestions for how to meet people
7. Get feedback on the strategies people use and watch as the whole class laughs at the othersī cheesy strategies.
If you actually want to teach them something about pick-up and want to develop this into a reading task then get hold of a copy of "The Rules of The Game" by Neil Strauss and photocopy one of the pages.
