Collage “Fruit and Vegetables”
Words and patterns: a hare, a bear, a hedgehog, a goat, a pig, a monkey; 
words for “Fruit and Vegetables”. Hedgehogs like apples. Hares like carrots. 
Monkeys like bananas and oranges, etc. I am going to cut out the cabbage 
/ the potato / the oranges, etc.
Materials: animal toys or pictures (a hare, a bear, a monkey, a hedgehog, 
a goat, a pig) a big sheet of paper, pictures of diff erent fruit and vegetables 
from magazines, booklets (it is good if there are several vegetables or fruit 
of the same kind, they are to be of diff erent size too), scissors, and glue 
sticks per each child. 
1. The teacher announces that animals from the forest have come to 
their lesson. They heard that the children had a lot of fruit and vegetables. 
She says that now they have only pictures not real fruit and vegetables: 
Let’s show them to our guests. The teacher and the children discuss the 
following: What is this? This is a carrot. Who likes carrots? — Hares like 
carrots. The children give this picture to the toy hare.

Possible variants are: 
Monkeys like bananas and oranges. 
Hedgehogs like apples. 
Pigs like apples. 
Bears like carrots. 
Goats like cabbage. 
The animals thank children and leave. 
2. The teacher collects the pictures and suggests that they use them 
to decorate their classroom. She says that they are going to make a beau-
tiful picture which is called a collage:
A collage is a picture in which many smaller pictures are glued closely 
so that they cover all the surface of a sheet of paper. First of all we should 
cut out these pictures. Look! I have brought many pictures with fruit and 
vegetables. Now tell me: what is this? Yes, this is a lemon. Is this a potato 
or a cucumber? Etc. The teacher puts the pictures in front of children. They 
throw the cube for dice and a child takes that picture on which it drops. 
She or he has to say: I am going to cut out the apple. 
After all the children have got the pictures they form two teams: those 
that cut out fruit and the second team is “vegetables”. The fi rst team will 
place their pictures on one half of the sheet and the other — on the sec-
ond half. 
3. While the children are working the teacher talks to some of them: 
What are you doing: cutting it out? Do you like to cut or to glue pictures? 
Do you like this fruit? What vegetables do you like? She also helps the 
children to place the pictures on the sheet of paper. 
That team, which fi nishes faster and makes everything better, are the 
winners.
