Unit 1 Greetings

Activity 2 Look, listen and repeat.

Objective: to enable the pupils to ask and answer the question “What colour/number/toy do you like?”

STEP 1: Ask the pupils what other colours they know except those in the song. Then ask the pupils to look at the flowers of different colours. Tell them that everybody has got their favourite colour, and ask them what colour they like. Explain to the pupils that first they should learn the question “What colour do you like?”

After that, ask them to repeat the question after you in chorus and then individually. Then explain to the pupils how to answer this question, for example, “I like red”.

Further ask the pupils to look at the right hand page of the book. Explain to the pupils that they should colour the flower in their favourite colour. They can colour the petals with different colours. However, if they decide to do so, they should be able to name all the colours.

Then the pupils in turn ask and answer the question “What colour do you like?” While answering the question, the pupils should point to flower they coloured.

STEP 2: Tell the pupils that people have got not only favourite colours but also different other things. For example, seasons, toys, fruits, vegetables and numbers. You can tell the pupils about your favourite number. For example “I like seven”. Ask the pupils what numbers they like, and introduce the question “What number do you like?” Ask the pupils to repeat the question and the answer after you: What number do you like? I like 5.

Then ask the pupils to write their favourite number in the middle square on the right hand page of the book. After that, the pupils ask and answer the question in turns showing their favourite number.

Explain to the pupils that the right square on the right hand page of the book is for their favourite toy to draw at home. However, ask them to repeat the question “What toy do you like?” and the answer “I like a doll” in chorus after you.
