Lesson 3

Objective

Activities in group; correction of mistakes. Flashcards from this unit, decorated bottle.

Materials

on the two cards you mention. Continue naming other children, with the first ones who played on the same position. Whoever loses balance must leave the game.

Playful activities

1 | Begin this lesson putting all the cards in a circle on the floor. Taking turns, each child will name an image and then they will jump on top of it. The idea is that each student who participates will remain still until their classmates place themselves in the circle. You might have to divide the students in small groups, so that everybody has the chance to play.

2 | Give away the flashcards among the students; after that indicate the order in which the children must make a line holding the cards. If the number of children is higher than the flashcards you have, divide them in small groups and start over each time:

Teacher: Good Afternoon! Good Morning!

Good Night! Good Morning!...

3 | Suggest playing Twister: the cards will be on the floor and the child you name will place their feet

4 | Show a flashcard and name it making a mistake. The children must correct your statement:

Teacher: (show the card of Good Afternoon)

Good Morning!

Children: No, no, no! Good Afternoon!

5 | We suggest you to use a small, plastic bottle that could be painted and decorated as you wish. With the children sitting in a circle, spin the bottle in the middle: both of the students who get pointed by its cup and bottom must rise and introduce themselves. Continue the procedure until all the students can perform the activity.

Child 1: Hello! My name is...

Child 2: Hello! My name is...

Objective

To learn how to interpret a dialogue; to learn how to express one’s full name.

Materials

Flashcards from this unit, Waving hands (Games), paper tape, fibers or chalk, circle made in white construction paper (one for each student).

Playful activities

1 | Let the children take turns to hold the Waving hands in order to greet you. To each of them ask them about their first name and gender. We also advise you to request about their surname, and full name. It is wise to start talking about yourself, so as to set the example. Remember how important this part of the lesson is, and always pay attention to your students’ answers.

Teacher: Hello!

Child: Hello!

Teacher: Are you a boy or a girl?

Child: I am a boy.

Teacher: What’s your name?

Child: My name is Facundo.

Teacher: What’s your surname?

Child: My surname is Díaz.

Teacher: What’s your full name?

Child: My full name is Facundo Díaz.

2 | This time the children will be in a line on the floor, with their legs spread. In this way the first student will hold the feet of the second child, and so on. Also, select two flashcards and stick them on the board, one above the other. When you mention the first image your students will have to move forward, and if you name the other card they will move backwards, making sure nobody let goes their classmate’s feet. Continue mentioning the flashcards, faster each time. Later on replace these cards and continue the activity. The game ends when all of the flashcards have been used.

3 | Draw a large window on the board, inside which you will stick a card of greeting. Your students will have to mention the image exposed.

4 | Keep a flashcard of greetings to yourself and stick the rest of them on the board. Then mention a volunteer and stick that card on their back. Their classmates will make a circle around him/her to help this child guess which is the card they are carrying.

5 | Suggest playing Chinese Whisper: the students will be sitting on their chairs in a semi circle. Mention an item from this unit to the first of them, as a whisper. This secret will be repeated along all the children, until it reaches the last of them. This child will have to go to a corner of the classroom where you will have placed the flashcards before, to pick up the mentioned image. Continue playing with them, making everybody have the chance to be the first and last children on the line.

Page 11 - Let’s draw!

Provide a circle of white construction paper to each child so that they can draw their own face. Once the work is finished they will take turns to show their drawing to the rest of the students, while they introduce themselves.

Then play the audio so that the children listen to the dialogue it contains. Request the students to tell you the characters’ full names. As a final activity, the children will paste the circle they turned into their face on the page. Encourage them to write down their name as well. Make sure you will have enough time for all these activities.

Audio Script

Listen and work in pairs:

Hi! My name is George.

What’s your name?

Hi! My name is Rose.

And what’s your full name?

My full name is Rose Jones. And yours?

My full name is George Jones.

The other students can only say ‘No!’ or ‘Yes!’ to guide them.

Objective

Final checking of the vocabulary learnt. Flashcards from this unit, Waving hands (Games), blindfold, ball, Magical Bag, Finger puppet play (Games).

Materials

Playful activities

1 | As the first game of this lesson you can place the flashcards on the floor: name a volunteer and hand them a Waving hands. As you mention the cards this child will have to touch the mentioned images with the element you gave them, while they repeat the words:

Teacher: Touch the teacher!

Touch the teacher and the boy!

Touch the teacher, the boy and the school!

2 | Name a student, blindfold their eyes, and mention a second child to greet the first one. The objective for the student with the eyes covered is to infer who is the child greeting them. If this second volunteer changes the tone of their voice, the activity will be more challenging and much funnier. Once this child greets, he/she must return to where the other students are. Remove the blindfold of the first student and let them guess who greeted them.

3 | For our next suggestion the children must make a line. Take a ball and hand it to the first student. Also, expose a flashcard: if this child recognizes and mentions the image correctly, the ball will pass to the student behind; otherwise it will stay there until the first child guesses other card. The objective is for the ball to reach the end of the line.

4 | Put all of the flashcards inside your Magical Bag: take them out one by one and stick them on the board. While you do this action your students must mention each image they see. Once all the cards are stuck ask the children to keep their eyes shut for a moment: remove a flashcard, and then let them infer which one is missing.

Teacher: What’s missing?

Children: Boy!

5 | This time stick on the board the Finger puppet play of boy and girl. Then select a card and stick it below one of the puppets: your students will have to deliver the appropriate sentence.

Children: Good Morning, girl! /Good Af ternoon, boy!
