Unit 1 Greetings

Activity 4 Play “It’s Winter”.

Objectives: to consolidate the new vocabulary and the structure

Do a jig-saw activity with cut pictures of four seasons. Divide the class into four groups and explain to the pupils that they will now get cut flashcards of different colours: green, red, yellow and white. Then ask what they think there should be on the flashcards. After getting the correct answer, sum up and say that it is 4 seasons.

Further, explain that each team must collect a coherent picture of their season. So distribute the seasons for the teams. Each team gets a coloured circle of one of four colours: green, red, yellow and white. This means that they need to collect the pictures of different seasons of the corresponding colour. Each team must as soon as possible:

1) choose only the pictures of the same colour from a pile of cut pictures;

2) lay out a coherent picture of the cut pieces;

3) When they finish the picture, as a whole team they must say their season, for example, “It’s winter”.

During the task, you should help the children choose the right pictures and remind them what to say. You can keep all the pictures in your hands. Quickly take one and show the class. Teams must take their colour. You should correct the children when needed. At the end of the task, each team must answer the question “What season is it?”
