Unit my Family Lesson Let’s play! Objectives

Activity 2 Look, listen and repeat.
Objectives: to introduce the new vocabulary (cat, dog, tractor);
to introduce the sounds of the animals
to practise the pronunciation of the sounds [] and [u]
Say that now the children know how the cows and ducks talk, but we still have other animals. So offer the pupils to learn their language. Hang the pictures of animals on the blackboard including a tractor, a cat and a dog. Say that people use tractors in rural areas, and although it is not an animal, it also seems to “talk”. Cats and dogs are true human companions. Therefore, they need to learn them, too. Then you can have the pupils practise the words “dog” and “cat”.
This is a cat.
This is a dog.

After that, introduce the sounds of animals. Also have the pupils practise the words, especially the sounds [] in “quack” and [u] in “moo” in chorus and individually.

This is a cow. Moo-moo
This is a horse. Neigh-neigh
This is a goat. E-e-e
This is a sheep. Baa-baa
This is a rooster. Cockle-dockle-doo
This is a duck. Quack-quack
This is a cat. Meow-meow
This is a dog. Woof-woof

Then announce a competition for the best tractor driver. It is a fact that the tractor can speak differently. Trrr or frrr or prrr. If there are volunteers to imitate a working tractor, try to find out who among them is the best.

This is a tractor. trr-trr-trr.
Say that you have not included the chick in the list as it is very small. And there is no a rabbit as well, because rabbits do not make sounds.


Activity 3 Look and do.
Objective: to do physical exercise and energise the pupils
You can do any energising activity you like.


Activity 4 Play “Who Says Meow?”
Objective: to consolidate the sounds of the animals
Say that now the pupils will play a game. The first team will look at the picture and say the animal. The second team should not see the picture, but hear the name of the animal and say the right sound.
In order to make the game successful, show the flashcards with animals again and have the pupils repeat their names and sounds in chorus. Then divide the class into two teams. Say that the second team must turn while you are showing the first team the flashcard, for example, the cows. The first team must say “cow”. The second team turn around and say “Moo-moo”.
Then they change roles. The first team turn, and the second say an animal, etc. It is necessary for you to remember that you need to help the children constantly. It is better to whisper to prompt so as not to interfere with the game.
