Activity 2 Play “It’s Cold.”
Objective: to consolidate the previously learnt vocabulary and structure
Repeat the game in Activity 3 of the previous lesson. Select new chief forecasters. Offer them to report the weather for seasons by adding the previously learnt words: cold, hot, warm, cool. e.g. It‟s cold. It‟s snowy. After that, you can have the pupils repeat them after you in chorus and individually.
Activity 3 Look and do.
Objectives: to do physical exercise and energise the pupils; to recycle the commands
Repeat the commands learnt in the previous lesson “Ski!, Skate!, Play hockey! and Play snowballs!” and the old commands “Go! Jump! Run! Swim! Sleep! Climb! Fly! Dance! Stand up! Sit down!”
In order to repeat the old commands, use the flashcards with pictures of commands. You need to mix and stack them up on your table. The children come up to your table one by one, take one flashcard and give a quick command to the whole class.
IV. Post-activity
Activity 4 Look, listen and say.
Objectives: to introduce the new structure “I can ski.”
STEP 1: Ask the pupils who can skate or ski in real life. Receiving the answers, offer the pupils to learn how to talk about it using the structure “I can ...”. Here you can use gestures to explain the structure. To do it, at first, show yourself (I) and then throw your fist up (as if you are proving “I can”). Explaipn that it does not matter whether the pupils are able to ski or not. They can imagine that they can do.
Next show the pictures of the commands “Ski!”, etc. and work on their pronunciation in chorus.
I can ski. I can play hockey.
I can skate. I can play snowballs.
STEP 2: Then ask volunteers to go to the board and show off what they can do. Explain that it is possible to use both the old and new commands but it is necessary for them to show an action. For example, the volunteer says “I can run” and runs in his/her resting place. Or he/she says “I can fly” and flaps his/her arms like wings.
