Unit 1 Greetings

Activity 3 Look and do.

Objective: to do physical exercise and energise the pupils

At first, ask the children to recollect the commands they performed during the previous units and lessons. If necessary, you can revise them with the help of flashcards.

Then paris/peris and genies/ginns take a magic wand, wave it and give different commands in turns.

Ski! Skate! Play hockey! Play snowballs!

Go! Jump! Run! Swim! Sleep! Climb! Fly! Dance! Stand up! Sit down!

Fly a kite! Play football! Jump a rope!

Walk like a bear.

Hop like a hare.

Run like a dog.

Swim like a frog.

Activity 4 Play “I’m Jinn”.

Objectives: to develop the pupils’ imaginations

to recycle the vocabulary and structures for animals

Further, say that it is possible to turn a person into a wild or domestic animal by means of a magic wand, and help the pupils remember the animals by showing them appropriate flashcards. Then suggest a volunteer pupil turn into a wild animal. Choose a pari/peri or genie/jinn who will turn the volunteer into an animal by means of a wand. For example, s/he will say ‘A tiger!’ (if necessary, s/he will show a flashcard) and wave the wand. Accordingly, the “tiger” should say:

I’m a tiger.

I’m big.

I’m orange and black.

I’ve got four legs.

I can run.

Thus, the game is continued with other leaders.
