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”). Explain 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 skate.
I can play hockey.
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.

Optional Activity 5 Play “I Can Skate.”

Objectives: to consolidate the new structure
Says that this is a game and at the same time a competition. Therefore, the pupils must show and say as many commands as they can. For example, a pupil can go to the blackboard and say what he/she can do: I can ski. I can run. I can play snowballs, etc.
The main condition of the competition is to say the commands without much pause. If the pupil feels difficulty remembering a command, he/she has to leave the game. Each participant counts the number of their skills which will serve as points. The one who has the highest points will be the winner.

IV. Consolidation. To ask questions, work in pairs, watch interesting cartoons.
V. Evaluation. To encourage the pupils with marks, to praise them.
VI. Homework.
Explain to the pupils that at home they should complete and colour the pictures on the right hand page. Ask them to remember the sentences about what they can do like “I can ski”, etc.
