Unit 1 Greetings

Activity 1a Look, listen and say.

Objective: to introduce a song about apples

Ask the pupils to listen to a song about apples. Translate “yummy” (mazali/вкусный) and “tummy” (qorincha/животик).

Tapescript:

It’s a yummy, yummy, yummy

To my tummy, tummy, tummy.

Yummy, yummy, yummy

To my tummy, tummy, tummy. Alright

Apples, apples,

Apples, apples,

I like apples

Apples, apples,

‘Cause they’re yummy, yummy, yummy

To my tummy, tummy, tummy.

Yummy, yummy, yummy

To my tummy, tummy, tummy. Alright
Ask the pupils to translate “I like apples”, and hang a picture with the description of an apple.
Activity 1b Look, listen and repeat.

Objective: to introduce and consolidate the new vocabulary

STEP 1: Further, say that we love not only apples but the other fruits as well, and introduce the words described on the flashcards: apple, banana, plum, apricot, strawberry, watermelon, peach.

Then have the pupils practise the pronunciation of the words. After that ask questions for consolidation as follows:

What’s this?

Is it a banana?

Is it brown?

What colour is peach?

Is a plum yellow? etc.

STEP 2: After having sufficient answers, you can play a game about colours. According to the rule of the game, the teacher (or a pupil) says a fruit, the rest of the pupils say its colour. Then vice versa.
