Activity 3 Play “I am a Robot”

Objectives: to recycle the learnt vocabulary; to introduce the new command “jump”
STEP 1: Ask the pupils to look at the robot and say that this robot performs our commands. For example, choose a volunteer pupil who agrees to be a robot. Then repeat the commands from the previous lessons (Touch your head (eyes, ears, mouth, nose, hand, leg)) without the words “left” and “right”. The pupil performs your commands. Help him/her if necessary.
It is necessary to tell the kids that if you say the words “hand” or “leg”, they should raise any hand or foot. Do not use the words “left” and “right” here.
STEP 2: Introduce a new command “jump” and ask the pupils what this command stands for. After eliciting some answers, say that they understood it perfectly well and remind them that it is from the energising poem. Then ask them to give the command to the robot. Invite 3-4 pupils, including girls to the blackboard to play the role of a robot. Help them.

Activity 4 Look, listen and say.
Objectives: to familiarise the pupils with the story of a robot; to introduce more commands with new words
Explain that the robot is able to do many things, and that it can be sent to bring some magic apples. But the apples are very far away. At first it must go (here say „go‟) along the road. (Here you should pause, show a flashcard
where the walking robot is drawn. Then repeat the verb “go” several times). Then the robot jumps (here say „jump‟) over bumps in the swamp. (Here you should make a pause again and show a flashcard with a picture of a jumping robot, and
then repeat the verb “jump” several times. Every time you introduce a new action verb, repeat this procedure). Go on telling the pupils the story that then there comes a meadow with flowers in front of the robot across which it had to run (here say „run‟) (Again make a pause, show the flashcard, have pupils repeat the verb “run”), and then it swims (here say „swim‟) across the river (Make a pause, show the flashcard, have pupils repeat the verb “swim”) and then it reaches the magical shores. There will be a high tree. The robot now has to climb (here say „climb‟) it (Make a pause, show the flashcard, have pupils repeat the verb “climb”). And when it picks a magic apple, it has to fly (here say „fly‟) because it cannot climb down the tree itself (Show the flashcard, have pupils repeat the verb “fly”).

V. Homework:
Explain to the pupils that at home they should colour the robots on the right hand page. Ask them to remember what commands they learnt during the lesson.
