2nd and 3rd Conditional: Video and Gapfill Worksheet
Worksheet: docs, pub
I used this video from Easy English when setting up the contrast between 2nd Conditional and 3rd Conditional.  The video itself contains a range of conditional tenses, but for this worksheet I focused only on the 2nd Conditional and 3rd Conditional, because those were my lesson aims.
The students first listen to the video for gist.  (example gist task: What is Sally's problem?).  Then I hand out the specific information questions.  Then students listen again for a gapfill, and then, on the last page of the worksheet, they check their understanding of the meaing.
