Unit 1 Greetings

Optional Activity 5 Play “I’ve Got a Spider On My Head”.

Objective: to reinforce the vocabulary for parts of body and the structure “I’ve got...”

STEP 1: Ask the pupils to remember the Incy-Wincy spider, and then show a spider made of yarn. You can take a plastic spider toy. Say that this spider can sit anywhere: on the head (put the spider on a pupil head) or on the hand. Then offer the pupils to play the game. However, remind them that they must first recall the words used for the parts of body, and help the class recall the words: head, hair, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, hand, leg. Then have the pupils practise saying the sentences: I’ve got a spider on my head (hair, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, hand, leg).

STEP 2: Then start the game. Put the spider on a pupil’s head. S/he should say: I’ve got a spider on my head. If s/he said the sentence correctly, give him/her the spider. Now s/he is a leader. As a leader s/he selects another pupil and puts the spider on a different part of his/her body from the list, etc.
