dare to

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:

  1. I __________ (dare to) ask my teacher a difficult question.
  2. She __________ (dare to) swim in the deep ocean.
  3. 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.
