Playful activities

1 | Present the new words, Boy /Girl, with the help of the Happy kids. Place yourself next to each child and perform the same question to all of them:

Teacher: Are you a boy or a girl?

Child: I’m a boy

2 | Each boy will point to himself while repeating the word that represents them. The girls will do the same with the word Girl.

3 | The objective for this activity is for the students to make a line. Call them by using the words boy, girl:

Teacher: Boy, girl, girl, girl, boy, girl…

4 | Make all the children sit in a circle, with their legs crossed. Tell them that they must clap their hands when each word of the expressions is mentioned.

In this way they will make questions to their classmates:

Teacher and students: What’s your name?

Child: My name is…

5 | Provide each student with the printed hands they prepared the previous class. Mention a greeting so that they will raise the hand that belongs to this expression (for example Hello). Do the same with the other greeting (Bye-bye). Alter the mentioning of these greetings faster to make the activity funnier to them. It is also a good idea to use your own big hands while carrying on with the game.

Teacher: Hello, boys! (only the boys will raise the printed hand that belongs to this greeting).

Bye-bye, girls! (now the girls will raise their hands).

Hello, girls! (only the girls participate).

Bye-bye, boys! (now the boys follow the command).

Hello boys and girls! (both, boys and girls will raise their printed hands)

Bye-bye boys and girls! (the same here).

1 | Using the Happy kids plus a greeting flashcard, ask the children to say the corresponding sentence.

Children: Good Afternoon, girl!

2 | Place your students on a circle. At the center of it put the flashcards of greetings and the faces of boy/ girl. Next choose a child and tell him/her a sentence. This student will have to pick up the flashcard and face which correspond to your expression.

Teacher: Good Morning, boy!

3 | Using paper tape, stick a flashcard of greetings on the back of one of your students. He/she will have to guess what the expression is.

Child: Good Morning! / Good Afternoon! / Hello!...

4 | Place on the floor all the flashcards of the unit, and choose a student, who after listening to your sentence (that must be formed by a salutation and a character), will set a foot on one flashcard and the other one on the second image.

Teacher: Good Morning, girl! Good Afternoon, teacher! Repeat the procedure with the rest of the students, changing the structures in order to check that the learning process has been successful.

5 | With the help of Mr. Lion, say one of the greetings you have taught, which will have to be answered by the children. Then ask one student to go to the front, take the puppet and reproduce one expression. Also, in this case the rest of the children will have to answer back.

Page 11 - Color and cut

Request your students to color the figures of a boy and a girl (page 107). Cut them out and place a popsicle stick behind. Once they are ready start naming the words boy/girl to make the children raise the corresponding puppet.

As a way to end this first unit, it would be nice if you listened together to the dialogue, while they act out with their figures.
