Anyone who teaches English in Korea knows the kids have attention spans of spastic monkeys. They won’t sit still for much. Your best bet is probably a funny or interesting video. Some call it edu-tainment, some call it bribery, either way it works.

With that in mind, here is a fantastic website with lots of worksheets based on movies and TV shows. You can probably find the relevant clips on Youtube, and then you can use the video to teach vocabulary. I had a great deal of success with this Mr. Bean worksheet.

Below are the clips I showed. I usually don’t like to show a video this long, but this is the last week of classes and I wanted to give the kids a break. I didn’t show the third part of the episode because of nakedness.

The kids went nuts for it. Mr. Bean is one of those cultural universals that crosses all boundaries.
