Unit 1 Greetings

Activity 1 Listen and repeat.

Objective: to warm up

Tell the pupils that they are going to listen to a song about a dog called Jack and then play the song. After listening to the song, ask the pupils what they understood. Then tell the pupils the meaning of the poem. Then you can sing the song together with your pupils.

Tapescript:

I am a dog

My name is Jack

My head is brown

My nose is black.

Activity 2 Play “On a Farm”.

Objectives: to recycle the animals and their sounds

First, repeat the names of the animals and their sounds. Then explain that they will play a game on the farm.

Divide the class into two teams. Explain that each team is on the farm. There are many animals on the farm and, therefore, it is very noisy. Each pupil from the first team gets a flashcard with an animal. They should not show them to the members of the second team. Before you start the game, check whether all the pupils remember their sounds. If not, whisper to prompt. Then you can start the game. Explain that all the “animals” on the farm will produce sounds at your signal. The task of the second team is to sort out this noise and find out which animals are on the farm.

Then the whole class check the answer.

The game is then repeated with another team.

1 team: a cow, a dog, a sheep, a duck

2 team: a horse, a cat, a goat, a rooster
