Unit my Family Lesson Let’s play! Objectives

to practise the pronunciation of the sounds [] and []
Tell the children that they are very athletic and are performing the exercises excellently. Also say that all boys love playing football and flying kites, and the girls love jumping/skipping over a rope. Then offer the pupils to learn the words “fly a kite”, “play football” and “jump a rope”.
Using the pictures (3 pictures: a picture of a kite, a picture of a boy playing football, a picture of a girl with a skipping rope), spend some time on practising the pronunciation of all the phrases, especially the sounds [] in “jump” and [] in “cold” in chorus and individually.

Activity 2b Play “Fly a Kite”.
Objectives: to consolidate the new words and expressions
Invite some volunteers to come to the blackboard and imitate one of the actions from Activity 2b. The rest of the class have to guess and say: fly a kite; play football and jump a rope.
After that, spend some time on practising the pronunciation of the following sentences:
I can fly a kite.
I can play football.
I can jump a rope.

While saying the sentences, the pupils may accompany their words with gestures.

Activity 3 Look, listen and do.
Objectives: to do physical exercise and energise the pupils;
to recycle the commands
This time repeat only the commands “Ski!”, “Play snowballs!”, “Fly a kite!”, “Jump!”, “Run!”, “Swim!”, “Play football!” and “Jump a rope!”
In order to repeat the commands, use the flashcards with pictures of commands. You need to mix and stack them up on your table. The children come up to your table one by one, take one flashcard and give a quick command to the whole class.


Activity 4 Play “It’s Summer. I Can Swim.”
Objective: to recycle the commands, seasons and activities
Divide the class into four teams. Explain that each team gets a picture of one season. Further, say that you will put on the blackboard all the flashcards with the commands “Ski!”, “Play snowballs!”, “Fly a kite!”, “Jump!”, “Run!”, “Swim!”, “Play football!” and “Jump a rope!”
From each team (the teams are called as Winter, Summer, Spring and Autumn) the representatives come to the blackboard in turns and choose a command that matches their season. If the action is a right one for their season, you can give them the flashcard with the command. In this case, they should say the command, for example, “Fly a kite” and sentences using it as, for example, “It’s summer. I can fly a kite”. Also explain that many games can be played in summer, autumn and spring. Therefore, if a team is first to take a flashcard, it will remain with that team. It is necessary to explain that kites are usually flown only in spring, and one can swim in summer. So, there will be 8 flashcards on the blackboard in total, 2 for each team.
