Activity 2 Look and count.
Objective: to introduce the question “How old are you?” and the 
answer “I’m six/seven.”
STEP 1: explain that in many countries it is traditional to put 
a certain number of candles on the cakes according to the age of 
the child on his/her birthday. Then ask the pupils to look at the 
pictures in the textbook and guess how old the puppets are. After 
hearing the answer, ask this pupil to tell the class how he/she 
knew it and praise him/her.
STEP 2: After that, offer the pupils to learn to ask the ques-
tion “how old are you?” Tell them its meaning in their mother 
tongue (Yoshing nechada? / Сколько тебе лет?). Then have the 
pupils practise it in chorus and individually.
Further explain to the pupils that now they have learned to 
ask how old somebody is, and they need to learn how to respond 
to this question as well. Therefore, offer the pupils to answer the 
question together with the puppets:
