Unit 1 Greetings

Activity 6 Look and play “This is a pen”.

Objective: to practise saying the vocabulary with the structure “This is a …”

STEP 1: Ask two pupils to come to the blackboard. One of them must take his book with him. Explain that the pupil with a book will show his/her book and say a false sentence like “This is a pen.” The other pupil must correct him saying “No. This is a book.”

STEP 2: After the demonstration, the pupils work in pairs and do the same as they have just seen.


Activity 7 Play “What’s this?”

Objective: to recycle the question “What’s this?” and its answer “It’s a XXX”

Since the question “What’s this?” was asked in chorus several times, there might be pupils who have already learned it by heart. You can invite them to the blackboard and offer them to ask questions instead of you. This is a kind of encouragement.

In this game you can use objects or their pictures on the blackboard. Explain that one team ask the question and the other team respond in turns. Then they change roles, i.e. one pupil from the first team goes to the blackboard and, showing the picture, asks: ‘What’s this?’ The pupils from the second team respond: ‘It’s a pen.’ If the answer is correct, the team gets a point.

When the teams change roles, a strong pupil from the other team also asks: ‘What’s this?’ showing a different picture. The pupils of the first team answer. Since there are a few flashcards describing objects, the same object can be repeated time and again. Have the pupils do their part as quickly as possible.

Homework: Explain to the pupils that at home they should find the school things in the picture on the right hand page and colour them.
