Party Planning ESL Lesson Description

OBJECTIVE & OVERVIEW

This party planning ESL lesson plan provides activities, PDF worksheets, and digital materials designed for pre-intermediate A2-B1 students. In this lesson, students will:

  • Discuss various topics about planning and hosting parties
  • Learn vocabulary terms related to party planning
  • Watch a video about party planning and hosting tips
  • Learn various connectors, such as “so”, “because”, “then”, etc.
  • Plan and organize the details for a party (ambiance, activities, etc.)

PREVIEW & DISCUSSION

In the first part of this ESL lesson plan on party planning, students view some images of different types of parties. These include a birthday party, a summer barbecue, a costume party, and an office party. Then, they discuss a set of questions about parties and party planning.

Students continue to describe some things that a woman named Lucie is organizing for a party. These include snacks and drinks, music, party invitations, and children’s activities.

In the final activity of the preview section, students give some of their own ideas for party planning tips.

VIEWING ACTIVITY

Students continue to watch a video about party planning tips. In the video, a woman gives some tips to consider when hosting a party. These include tips such as having a greeting station, having children’s activities, and containers for leftovers.

In the first listening activity, students match some provided images with the tips given in the video. In the second one, there are statements for students to decide true or false about the woman’s ideas.

DISCUSSION & GRAMMAR

After watching the video, students reflect and discuss a few questions about the woman’s tips.

Then, students read a text from a man who talks about party planning. In his ideas, he uses a range of different connectors, which include the following:

  • first
  • before
  • after
  • then
  • so
  • in order to
  • since
  • because

In the activity, students classify these connectors into their functions in a table. Then, students use these connectors to complete some sentences about party planning.

LET’S THROW A PARTY: PARTY PLANNING TASK

In this communicative activation, students plan a party, either alone or with a partner. In the first option, they use a party planner board to outline details like the type of party, theme, and activities, and use connectors such as "before," "after," and "in order to" in their plans. They then present their party ideas to the class or teacher. In the second option, students can discuss various topics related to parties, such as recent events they attended or parties they’d like to host, using descriptive language to share their experiences.
