Draw a map of an amusement park/ a theme park. Label each thing in the park with its name, and with one adjective to describe it, and one adjective for how it will make the visitors feel.
Put an eraser and a coin on the map to represent two people visiting it. As you move them around the amusement park, roleplay conversations like “This looks too scary” “Oh, come on. It’ll be fun!”
Read out this conversation as the two people stand next to something.
Alex: Okay, what do we want to do now?
Lucy: I want to go on the Katanga Canyon. I like water rides.
Alex: Mm, I don’t mind going on them but they’re not very exciting. In fact, they are boring.
Lucy: Look at that. It’s fantastic!
Alex: What? What are you excited about?
Lucy: Over there. That’s amazing. I want to go on that!
Alex: I’m not so sure. I don’t like heights.
Lucy: Oh, come on. It’s great. Don’t be frightened.
Alex: Oh, all right.
Read out this conversation as they stand next to the same thing after trying it.
Lucy: Are you okay, Alex? You look a little ill.
Alex: I’m fine.
Lucy: Do you want to go on it again?
Alex: No, I don’t!
Lucy: Ha ha, you’re scared. Chicken!
How do you feel about the rides in the dialogue and on the first worksheet?
“I love/ really like/ like/ don’t mind/ don’t like/ hate…”
