Book; the 
DVD
Activity 1 Listen and sing. 8 min 
Objectives: to warm up by singing the song; 
to check homework 
STEP 1: Play the DVD. Ask the pupils to listen to the song and sing 
it. Look at Unit 2 Lesson 1 Activity 1 for the DVD script. 
STEP 2: Checking homework. Ask the pupils to work in pairs and 
read the sentences to each other.
Note: Sing another song if you see that your pupils are bored with 
the same song.
Activity 2 Play “We are washing dishes!”  10 min 
Objectives: to reinforce the learnt vocabulary;
to give practise in speaking; to have fun
STEP 1: Say that the pupils will play a game. Say that they will 
be clever technology devices: a toaster, a washing machine, a vacuum 
cleaner, a dishwasher, a cooker. 
STEP 2: Divide the pupils into groups of 3.
STEP 3: Say: “We use a toaster to make sandwiches”. Ask the pupils to 
finish the sentences:
We use a washing machine ... (e.g. to wash clothes)
We use a vacuum cleaner ...
We use a dishwasher ...
We use a cooker ...
Agree on the sentences all the devices must say. For example: We are 
washing the dishes. We are cooking lunch. We are cleaning the floor. We are 
making sandwiches. We are washing the clothes.

STEP 4: Explain that now each group must make a figure to represent 
the word you call out. Demonstrate with one group as follows. Call out: “A 
washing machine,” and help them quickly arrange themselves: two pupils 
hold their arms around a third pupil who is standing in the middle. The 
pupil in the middle of the figure must move around himself/herself. The 
group must repeat again and again: “We are washing the clothes. We are 
washing the clothes...”.
STEP 5: Allocate the roles: a toaster, a washing machine, a vacuum 
cleaner, a dishwasher, a cooker to the groups. When you call out their 
word, the group must quickly arrange themselves and start saying their 
sentence. Ask them not to stop and call out another word, the other 
group starts. In the same manner go through all the devices with all the 
groups doing and saying the same thing. In the end all the groups must 
be showing their figures and saying their sentences all at the same time. 
When they know what to do, make it faster and faster! It can be noisy 
but fun!
Note: If the class is weak, they can just say: “We are washing. or We 
are cooking.”
