Unit my Family Lesson Let’s play! Objectives

Optional Activity 5 Play “What season is it?”
Objective: to consolidate the new vocabulary and structure
STEP 1: Then hang the 4 pictures of the seasons on the blackboard and ask the questions:
“What season is it?”
Is it hot?
Is it cold?
The children answer ‘Yes. / No.’


STEP 2: If time allows, you can organise the chain drill activity to practise the new vocabulary and structure learnt in Activity 4. This time a pupil makes a gesture for a kind of weather, the next pupil guesses and says “It’s cold”, etc.
See the instructions in the Introduction (the section 7) for how to organise the chain drill activities.

Homework:
Explain to the pupils that at home they should draw and colour the picture on the right hand page. Ask them to remember how to say a season and the kind of weather.

Activity 1 Listen and repeat.
Objective: to warm up
Remind the children that the New Year is approaching and we are all waiting for Santa Claus/Father Frost, who is sure to bring us gifts. So offer the pupils to memorise a small rhyme. Also add that if they learn it well and recite it in the morning exercises or at home, Santa Claus/Father Frost can give them an extra gift.


New Year! New Year!
Father Frost,
Come here!

While reading the rhyme, you can make gestures and translate the rhyme into mother tongue. After the first line, when you speak about Santa Claus/Father Frost, gesture as if you are carrying a big bag with gifts on your back. As to the last line, gesture as if you are inviting Santa Claus/Father Frost.

Then, together with the pupils, read the rhyme line by line with gestures. Learning it by heart in the classroom is not necessary. However, if someone has learned it by heart, you should listen to them and praise.
