Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 7 minutes
Counting Game
Aims
Ss review the numbers one to ten and get ready for the new structure "How many … can you see?".
Content
Ss count from one to ten together with T, then play "Count and Clap": T says a number, Ss clap and say the next number. T then shows flashcards of objects (pens, books) and asks Ss to say the number they see in the picture.
Expected outcomes
Ss say the numbers from one to ten fluently and count the objects on the flashcards correctly.
Procedure
Teacher's activities
Pupils' activities
Teacher
T says: "Let's count from one to ten together!" T claps the rhythm and leads the class. Then T explains the game "Count and Clap".
Pupils
Ss stand up, count from one to ten with T and clap their hands to the rhythm.
Teacher
T shows the flashcards of pens and books one by one and asks: "How many pens can you see?" T models the answer by counting aloud: "One, two, three…"
Pupils
Ss count the objects aloud with T and answer the question in chorus, e.g. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Seven pens!"
Teacher
T calls on 3–4 individual Ss to count the pictures and asks the class to check. T gives praise and a sticker for correct answers.
Pupils
Ss count the objects individually and the class checks the answers together.
Teacher
T writes the numbers from one to ten on the board and says: "Good job! Today we will learn how to ask and answer about how many things we can see."
Pupils
Ss repeat the numbers after T and get ready for the new lesson.
