Lesson overview:
This A2-B1 ESL lesson plan explores essential self-care habits when feeling sick, based on a viral TikTok video. Students will discuss their non-negotiables when sick, learn useful health-related vocabulary, and practice listening skills with real-life language. Through engaging pair discussions, matching exercises, and video-based activities, students will expand their vocabulary and confidently talk about health routines. The lesson wraps up with a controlled practice worksheet to reinforce key terms.
Lead-in:
Students start by sharing what they usually do when they feel sick. Do they swear by hot tea? Rest all day? Power through with medicine? They’ll also debate what’s more important—food, rest, or medicine—and share their best health tips.
