Unit 1 Greetings

Activity 1 Listen and repeat.

Objectives: to introduce a poem;

to introduce a technique for memorisation

Jumping rope is full of fun

It’s a game for everyone.

Tell the children that this little poem is about how fun it is jumping with a skipping rope. Although the poem is more suitable for girls than boys, they also can learn it to tell their parents or sisters.

As the lines of the poem is quite long, it is better to start memorising it from the end of the first line, i.e. begin repeating from the last word and gradually adding other words to it one by one.
