Unit 1 Greetings

Activity 3 Look and do.

Objective: to do physical exercise and energise the pupils

Ask the pupils to remember the poem they practised during the last lessons.

I can hop like a hare.

I can walk like a bear.

I can run like a dog.

I can swim like a dog.

Ask the pupils to repeat its lines together with you and, at the same time, show the actions. First, jump, then walk, show the action of running and swimming.

Activity 4 Play “True/False”.

Objective: to develop the pupils’ listening and thinking abilities

Offer the pupils to play a game that requires their attention. Explain that you will be saying sentences. If the thing you say is correct, the pupils should just sit. If the thing you say is wrong, they should raise their hands. For example, say ‘A frog is purple’, and ask the pupils whether it is true what you have just said. No. Frogs are not purple. It is necessary for them to raise their hands. However, if you say ‘A frog is green’, the pupils should sit still. So check once again, and ask the pupils when they have to raise their hands. Confirm their answers saying ‘Yes, you’re right’ or refuse ‘No, you’re wrong’. Then summarise. The hands should be raised when the answer is wrong.

The sentences you need to say can be as follows, or you can make your own sentences depending on the interests and abilities of your pupils.
