Grades English Teacher

Activity 3b Look and listen.

Objective: to prepare for the next activity
Explain to the students that this is a story to act out. There are two ways how to do it. The first one is to choose the pupils who will be the frogs. They will do what the story teller (i.e. you) talks about. Daddy frog and others jump three times and sit next to each other on a paper on the floor. It is a “leaf on the pond”. When there is no room for the youngest Baby frog on “the leaf”, s/he pushes gently his/her “family” and all of them fall down “in the water”. You can also use paper frogs instead of pupils. In this case the pond will be on the teacher‟s table. It is up to you to decide whether to use puppets, paper frogs or your own way.
