Step 1: Introduce "Dare to" with Simple Examples
- Write "dare to" on the board and ask students if they have heard this phrase before.
- Explain: "Dare to" means having the courage to do something challenging.
- Give examples:
- He didn’t dare to speak in the meeting.
- Do you dare to climb the mountain?
- She dared to ask a difficult question.
Step 2: Use a Q&A Activity (Yes/No Questions)
Teacher: Do you dare to sing in front of the class?
Student 1: Yes, I dare to sing. / No, I don’t dare to sing.
(Ask different students with different verbs: dance, swim in cold water, talk to a stranger, etc.)
Step 3: "Truth or Dare" Game (Interactive Role-play)
- Write fun dares on small pieces of paper (e.g., "dare to act like a cat," "dare to say a funny sentence").
- One student picks a paper and must say the sentence using 'dare to' before doing the action.
- I dare to dance like a robot!
- I dare to count from 1 to 10 in reverse!
Step 4: Fill in the Blanks (Guided Practice)
Give students sentences and ask them to complete:
- I __________ (dare to) ask my teacher a difficult question.
- She __________ (dare to) swim in the deep ocean.
- Do you __________ (dare to) eat spicy food?
Step 5: Storytelling Challenge (Creative Speaking Task)
- Ask students to create a short story using "dare to" at least twice.
- Example:
- Yesterday, my friend dared to jump into a lake. I didn't dare to follow him because the water was cold!
Step 6: Debate (Encouraging Conversation)
Topic: "Daring to follow your dreams is more important than playing safe."
- Divide students into two groups (Agree vs. Disagree).
- Encourage them to use "dare to" in their arguments:
- I dare to believe that success comes from taking risks!
- Not everyone dares to follow their dreams because of fear.
Step 7: Real-life Application (Homework/Challenge)
Ask students to try something new and write about it using "dare to."
- Example: Today, I dared to speak to a stranger in English.
