Unit 1 Greetings

Activity 3a Look, listen and repeat.

Objective: to recycle the numbers

Open one of your palms face up and with the help of the fingers of your other hand show the jumping monkeys on it. Translate the poem for children and explain that now there are 4 monkeys left because one of them fell down. Then 3, 2 and 1.

Five little monkeys

Are jumping on the bed

One fell down

And bumped his head

Mama called the doctor

And the doctor said

“That’s what you have

From jumping on the bed.”

Activity 3b Look, listen and play.

Objective: to recycle the numbers

Now you can ask the children to repeat the poem and finger movements after you.

Optional Activity 4 Play “What’s this?”

Objective: to recycle the question “What’s this?” and the structure “This is a XXX” with school things

Divide the class into two teams. Put the flashcards with the pictures of school things on the blackboard. Explain that 2 pupils from each team will come to the blackboard. One of them shows a flashcard and asks a question from the other pupil. He/she answers and asks his partner the same question as follows:

A: What’s this?

B: This is a pen. What’s this?

A: This is a book.
Then they take their seats. Instead, a new pair comes to the blackboard who do the same activity as above.
