Unit 1 Greetings

Activity 4 Play “It’s Summer. I Can Swim.”

Objective: to recycle the commands, seasons and activities

Divide the class into four teams. Explain that each team gets a picture of one season. Further, say that you will put on the blackboard all the flashcards with the commands “Ski!”, “Play snowballs!”, “Fly a kite!”, “Jump!”, “Run!”, “Swim!”, “Play football!” and “Jump a rope!”

From each team (the teams are called as Winter, Summer, Spring and Autumn) the representatives come to the blackboard in turns and choose a command that matches their season. If the action is a right one for their season, you can give them the flashcard with the command. In this case, they should say the command, for example, “Fly a kite” and sentences using it as, for example, “It’s summer. I can fly a kite”. Also explain that many games can be played in summer, autumn and spring. Therefore, if a team is first to take a flashcard, it will remain with that team. It is necessary to explain that kites are usually flown only in spring, and one can swim in summer. So, there will be 8 flashcards on the blackboard in total, 2 for each team.
