Activity 1 Listen and sing.5 min Objective: to warm up by singing the song Play the DVD. Ask the pupils to listen to the song and sing it.
Look at Unit 3 Lesson 1 Activity 1 for the DVD script.
Activity 2 Play “Word, sentence, question”. 35 min Objective: to warm up by singing the song In advance write each verb shown in the textbook on a separate card.
STEP 1: Ask the pupils to work in groups of 4/5. Say they will play a game. Each group can “buy” any 4 verbs they like from the list. Then the groups should write the past tense e.g. clean – cleaned. For each correct answer they get 5 points.
Note: to avoid chaos ask the groups to come in turn to choose a verb. They are allowed to take only one card at the time.
STEP 2: Each group should write the sentences with their 4 verbs in the past tense. e.g. We cleaned the classroom. For each correct answer they get 5 points.
STEP 3: Each group should write the questions for their 4 sentences in the past tense. e.g. Did you clean the classroom? For each correct question they get 5 points.
STEP 4: Count the points together with the class.
Notes:1) if the class is slow you can ask to work with 3 verbs; if the class is fast they can work with 5 verbs. 2) you can give papers of different colours to the groups where they will write their sentences and questions and at the end make a display.
