Lesson plan based on Minecraft mobs for EFL young learners

1. 1
Minecraft mobs stickers lesson plan
age: 8-10
Preparation:
Take some double-sided sticky-tape and stick a strip on the backside of the handout (p. 2), where the
pictures are.
1
Ask your students to identify the mobs in the pictures.
(key: creeper, cow, dog/wolf, enderman, pig, zombie, sheep, chicken, cave spider, zombie-pigman,
villager, squid)
2
Tell them that the information about the four mobs in the chart under the pictures is not 100%
correct. They have to decide which statements are correct and which ones are not. (whole-group,
pairs, small groups, individuals)
3
Check and discuss.
4
Tell your students that they can take the worksheet home, cut the mobs, use them as stickers. Warn
them to ask their parent where they can stick them. ;)
Possible follow up:
● Correct the wrong sentences (negatives, write correct ones).
● Write similar sentences about other mobs.
● Write a quiz for the others.
● Write a description of any of the mobs for a guessing game.
● Imagine your own mob and describe it.
