Activity 4 Play “Choose and Say”.

Hang the flashcards on 3 themes in three rows on the blackboard face down.

The top row consists of flashcards on the theme of toys.

The middle row consists of flashcards on the theme school things.

The bottom row consists of flashcards on the theme domestic animals.
Divide the class into two teams. One pupil from each team come to the blackboard in turns and point to any flashcard. Then you should overturn this flashcard, and the pupil should speak about it 1-3 sentences.

The top row is consisted of toys.

The pupils must say one, two or three sentences according to the following plan:

1) Name: This is … or I’ve got … (any sentence)

2) Colour. (It’s blue.)

3) I like ... (toy)

Each correct sentence is given 1 point: 3 points in total.
The middle row is consisted of school things. It is necessary for the pupils:

1) to name a school thing: This is a book or I’ve got a book (any sentence).

2) to say the colour: It’s red.

Each correct sentence is given 1 point: 2 points in total.

The bottom row is consisted of domestic animals. It is necessary for the pupils:

1) to name an animal and imitate its sound: This is a cow. Moo-moo.

2) to say the colour: It’s black and white.

Each correct sentence is given 1 point: 2 points in total. Then count up the total points. The team with the highest points will be the winner.

Car red	Kite green	Ball yellow	Teddy brown	Balloon purple
Copybook blue	Pen orange	Book red	Pencil pink	Ruler yellow
Hare brown, black	Duck green, blue	Goat white, grey	Dog white and black	Cat red, brown

If you do not have the opportunity to attach all the flashcards on the blackboard, you can draw the table of 5х3 and cross the occupied square out to show the pupils that it is already occupied. Then give the flashcard to the pupil to show it to the class.

Flashcards can have other colours.
Weak pupils can be helped by strong pupils from the team. You will also be constantly assisting them. You should tell them about what it is necessary to speak, i.e. according to the plan. Prompt words where needed.

In classes with strong pupils, it is necessary to demand a maximum quantity of sentences and the use of the conjunction “and”.
