Activity 2 Play “Snowball”.

Objectives: to revise the structures: My name’s ...; His name’s...;Her name’s... ;to enable pupils to identify the difference between“he”-“she” and “his”- “her”.

STEP 1: First have the pupils repeat the words “he” and “she”and then “his” and “her” after you in chorus. Ask if they stillremember from Class 1 for whom they used these words. Elicitsome answers. If they cannot remember, remind that they used“he” for boys which means in Uzbek “u” and in Russian “он”,and they used “she” for girls which means in Uzbek again “u”and in Russian “онa”. For consolidation suggest the pupils say“he” when you name a boy from the class or “she” when youname a girl. At first slowly and then quickly name the pupilsfrom the class, the pupils should say “he” or “she”. It is especiallyimportant for the Uzbek children because in Uzbek grammar

there is no gender category in the 3rd person singular. You canrepeat this with the words “his” and “her”.

STEP 2: Ask the pupils to look at the picture. Say that thepupils are playing a game “Snowball”. Say that the girl is sayingthe first boy’s name and own name. The next boy must repeat“His name is Dilshod. Her name is Sevara. My name’s …” etc.You can also play the DVD to show the pupils how to performthis activity.

STEP 3: Divide the pupils into groups of 4-5 (try to makemixed groups – girls and boys). Ask them to practise before theyperform in front of the whole class. Go round and monitor, helpif necessary.

STEP 4: After several minutes stop the groups and ask to performin turn for the whole class. Explain that the group whichmakes no mistakes (or less mistakes) will win.
