Unit my Family Lesson Let’s play! Objectives

Activity 4b Play “I’ve Got Four Legs”
Objective: to introduce new words in structures in the plural
Ask the pupils if they have paid attention to the fact that some animals have two legs and some others have four. Therefore, ask the pupils to divide the animals into 2 groups.

2 legs duck rooster chick parrot

4 legs hare bear crocodile dog cat tiger elephant

When you talk about a monkey, explain that monkeys, like humans, have two arms and two legs: I’ve got two hands and two legs.

Then ask the pupils to look at the two columns with the animals and talk about the animals with 2 and 4 legs. After that, have the pupils practise the pronunciation of the following sentences.
1
I am a duck. I’ve got two legs.
I am a rooster. I’ve got two legs.
I am a chick. I’ve got two legs.
I am a parrot. I’ve got two legs.

2
I am a hare. I’ve got four legs.

I am a bear. I’ve got four legs.
I am a crocodile. I’ve got four legs.
I am a dog. I’ve got four legs.
etc.
Optional Activity 5 Play “I Am a Tiger”
Objective: to consolidate the animal vocabulary
Tell the pupils that they can imagine themselves to be wild animals in the jungle and speak a lot about themselves. However, it is necessary for them to speak according to a plan.
1 Identifying oneself.
2 Saying how many legs, arms or wings one has.
3 What can one do.

For example, I am a tiger. I’ve got four legs. I can run.

I am a parrot. I’ve got two legs. I’ve got two wings. I can fly, etc.

You may offer the stronger pupils to add the colour and size from the first lesson for describing the animals. For example, I am a tiger. I am big. I am orange and black. I’ve got four legs. I can run.

Homework:
Explain to the pupils that at home they should colour the pictures on the right hand page. Ask them to remember and say sentences about birds as they did in the class. For example, I am a tiger. I am big. I am orange and black. I’ve got four legs. I can run.
