Unit my Family Lesson Let’s play! Objectives

Activity 4 Look, listen and say.
Objectives: to familiarise the pupils with the story of a robot
to introduce more commands with new words
to practise the pronunciation of the sound []
STEP 1: Explain that the robot is able to do many things, and that it can be sent to bring some magic apples. But the apples are very far away. At first it must go (here say ‘go’) along the road. (Here you should pause, show a flashcard where the walking robot is drawn. Then repeat the verb “go” several times). Then the robot jumps (here say ‘jump’) over bumps in the swamp. (Here you should make a pause again and show a flashcard with a picture of a jumping robot, and then repeat the verb “jump” several times. Every time you introduce a new action verb, repeat this procedure). Go on telling the pupils the story that then there comes a meadow with flowers in front of the robot across which it had to run (here say ‘run’) (Again make a pause, show the flashcard, have pupils repeat the verb “run”), and then it swims (here say ‘swim’) across the river (Make a pause, show the flashcard, have pupils repeat the verb “swim”) and then it reaches the magical shores. There will be a high tree. The robot now has to climb (here say ‘climb’) it (Make a pause, show the flashcard, have pupils repeat the verb “climb”). And when it picks a magic apple, it has to fly (here say ‘fly’) because it cannot climb down the tree itself (Show the flashcard, have pupils repeat the verb “fly”).
STEP 2: After that, display the flashcards with verbs “Go; Jump; Run; Swim; Climb; Fly” one after another and have the pupils practise their pronunciation, especially the sound [] in “climb” and “fly” in chorus and individually.

Optional Activity 5 Play “Go, jump”
Objective: to recycle the learnt vocabulary
STEP 1: Explain that now the pupils should imagine themselves as robots and take part in the competition. Say that the winner robot must correctly and quickly perform your commands.
After that, select the first group of robots of 3-4 people. Before the competition, ask the pupils whether they still remember the commands, and repeat them again.
STEP 2: Then give a command and after a pause point to the right flashcard. The pause is needed here to allow someone to remember and fulfil the command first. If they find the command difficult, they may have a look at the flashcard. Give 3-4 commands and then the robots take their seats. Instead, new robots come to the blackboard.
Commands: Go! Jump! Run! Swim! Climb! Fly!


Homework:
Explain to the pupils that at home they should colour the robots on the right hand page. Ask them to remember what commands they learnt during the lesson.
