Class : 4 a / 4b date

Activity 2 Work in pairs. Check your partner’s homework.
Ask the pupils to take and swap their Workbooks in pairs. Then ask them to open the Workbooks to Page 34 and look at Homework. Explain that when they finish with Homework 1a, they can read the text about a holiday in Homework 1b and write what holiday it is under the text.
Activity 3 Work in groups of 5. Play “Flashcard Touch”.
In advance prepare 4 sets of the following picture flashcards: New Year’s Day, New Year tree, Father Frost, snowman, snowballs, present
STEP 1: Revise the vocabulary: New Year’s Day, New Year tree, Father Frost, snowman, snowballs, present by showing the picture flashcards one by one and having the pupils shout out the names. Help them name the flashcards if they have forgotten them. Repeat the procedure once more.
STEP 2: Make groups of 5. Give out 1 set of flashcards to each group. Lay the picture flashcards on their table face up.
STEP 3: First demonstrate with one group. Tell them: ‘Put your hands in the air.’ Then call out a flashcard (e.g. “New Year tree!). The pupils have to touch the card as quickly as they can.
Extension: Tell your pupils: ‘Close your eyes’. Take away a flashcard and tell the pupils: ‘Open your eyes’. Ask: ‘Which picture is missing?’ The pupils have to shout out the missing flashcard. Play a few rounds.
Activity 4a Look, listen and repeat.
STEP 1: Ask the pupils to look at the pictures and guess the meaning of the new words. Accept any reasonable answers. If necessary, help them with the meaning.
STEP 2: Have the pupils repeat the new words after you in chorus, rows and individually.
Activity 4c Listen and put the pictures in order.
STEP 1: Ask the pupils to open their books and look at the pictures in Activity 4a. Explain that now they are going to listen to a text and then put the picture in order.
STEP 2: Play the DVD. After listening, the pupils write the order of the pictures in their Workbooks.
