Activity 1 Listen and repeat.
Objective: to warm up
Remind the children that the New Year is approaching and we are all waiting for Santa Claus/Father Frost, who is sure to bring us gifts. So offer the pupils to memorise a small rhyme. Also add that if they learn it well and recite it in the morning exercises or at home, Santa Claus/Father Frost can give them an extra gift.
New Year! New Year! Father Frost, Come here!
While reading the rhyme, you can make gestures and translate the rhyme into mother tongue. After the first line, when you speak about Santa Claus/Father Frost, gesture as if you are carrying a big bag with gifts on your back. As to the last line, gesture as if you are inviting Santa Claus/Father Frost.
Then, together with the pupils, read the rhyme line by line with gestures. Learning it by heart in the classroom is not necessary. However, if someone has learned it by heart, you should listen to them and praise.
III. Main Part
Activity 2 Look and say.
Objectives: to recycle previously learnt material to consolidate the words “cold, hot, warm, cool” Hang the pictures of the seasons on the blackboard and repeat the questions for each picture.

1. 
   - What season is it? - It‟s winter. / It‟s spring. / It‟s summer. / It‟s autumn.
   
2. 
   - What colour is winter? - Winter is white.
   
3. 
   - Is it hot? Is it cold? - Yes. / No.
   

You must remember that it is not necessary for the children to learn the questions by heart. They need to understand each question and answer it correctly. The children should be taught not to remember the whole question, but only keywords. In the question “What season is it?”, emphasize the “season”. As to the question “What colour is winter?”, make emphasis on the two keywords and pronounce them clearly. Activity 3 Look and do.
