[I originally posted this material as supplementary material for English World 2 Unit 10 Grammar p.104, but I've decided much of it can also work independently for a lesson on object pronouns.  You can either skip over the stuff that is from the English World 2 textbook, or if you want to use the material, this Youtube video has the necessary audio.]

I found this Kahoot game for object pronouns. I used it in my class, and it worked well.

Object Pronouns: Model Text and Worksheet

(TESOL Materials--Object Pronouns)

* Model Text: The Big Red Box of Pronouns--prompt here

* Worksheet: docs, pub

[Notes: This model text was created using AI, specifically Gemini Storybook.  The prompt was: "Create a storybook to introduce object pronouns to ESL students. Remember to use simple English, and be sure to include all the object pronouns: me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them"  The chat can be viewed here.   In my classes, I read the story with my students once for general understanding, then I handed them the worksheet, and asked them to identify the referent for each underlined word.  Then we went through it together in feedback.  This worked fairly well in my class, although there is one weak link--in the sentence "Zara pushes the wagon to Tashi. She pushes the box to them" .  It's not entirely clear just from this sentence alone who "them" refers to. ]

This is Pip. Pip has a big red box. It is heavy! Pip needs help to share the box with everyone.

Pip speaks: "The box is too big. Can you pass it to me?"

Pip sees his friend, Sage. Sage is standing right there. "Sage, I will give the box to you."

Pip steps back. "I give the box to him."

Sage sees his friend, Zara. He gives the box to her.

Zara sees a little red wagon on the path. She puts the heavy box in it.

Zara pushes the wagon to Tashi. She pushes the box to them.

Tashi and Lila speak to Pip and Zara. "The path is too long to walk alone. Come with us!"

Pip speaks to all the friends. "Thank you all for helping! We are a good team.”

Everyone helped deliver the box to the school children. "They gave the box to them! We did it!"

“Hello! My name is Leo. I am going on a picnic.”

Leo sees his friend Mia. “Hello, Mia! Are you ready?” he asks.

Mia sees her dog, Pip. “He is ready, too!” she says. Pip wags his tail.

Leo sees his friend, Mia. “She is bringing the blanket,” he says.

The picnic basket is full of food. “It is heavy!” says Leo.

Leo and Mia walk together. “We are going to the park,” says Leo.

They see more friends at the park. “Hello, everyone! Are you ready for fun?” asks Mia.

The friends are playing a game. “They are playing with a ball,” says Leo.

Everyone sits down to eat. “We are so happy to be here!” says Mia.

The picnic is a lot of fun. They eat, they play, and they laugh. It is a perfect day.

[Notes: This one is not one of mine, although I wish that it was because it's an absolutely brilliant lesson on reflexive pronouns.  This one was created by a teacher at my school years ago and has since been passed around several times.  I generally try to refrain from stealing other people's material and posting it on this blog, but every once and a while I can't resist.  This lesson I'm stealing because I think it's really good and want to share it with the world, and also because I want to keep track of it for future use.  (Every time I need to teach a lesson on reflexive pronouns, I always find myself coming back to this one, so I wanted to include it in my index so I don't lose track of it.
I've edited this slightly, but I really can't take much credit for it.
It makes use of some place names in Vietnam (Dalat), so if you're teaching outside of Vietnam you will probably want to change it to a local place name for your students.  Just copy over the Google docs to your own account and make the necessary edits.
In my own lessons, I've used this with Close-Up C1 Unit 3 Grammar p.36, and English World  6 Unit 9 Grammar.  The pictures on the matching picture document come from English World 6.]

Pronoun Table

Google: docs, pub
[Notes: This is a practice activity I made to practice the various types of pronouns. 
I designed this for a teacher training course I was working on after I noticed a lot of new teachers were having trouble grasping the different classes of pronouns.  But it could just as easily be student facing.
Participants complete the chart on their own, then check with a partner, then I elicit the correct answers up on the whiteboard.]

Personal pronouns (subject)	Personal pronouns (object)	possessive pronouns	reflexive pronouns	Possessive adjectives (Not technically pronouns)
I kissed her.	She kissed me.	That bag is mine.	I kissed myself	This is my bag.
you
he
she
it
we

Indirect Pronouns--Shouting Dictation

(TESOL Worksheets--Pronouns, Word Patterns)
Google: docs, pub
[Standard shouting dictation activity.  This is done in pairs.  The pairs stand on opposite sides of the room.  One student is a reader, and one student is a writer.  Because they are standing on opposite sides of the room, they must shout their sentences to each other.  To increase the challenge, they are competing against many other pairs, all of whom are shouting different sentences.
To increase the challenge even more, the teacher can put on loud music  on.
There are many ways this game can be organized, but in my class I did it in teams, and awarded 5 points to the first team to finish, 4 points to the second team to finish, etc.]
