Procedure
Teacher's activities
Pupils' activities
Teacher
T says: “Let's play a guessing game! I have a secret picture. Can you guess?” T shows the back of the first flashcard and asks, “What's this?”
Pupils
Ss listen and look at the card, then guess: “Is it a cat?”
Teacher
T flips the card, says the word clearly, “a cat”, and asks Ss to repeat in chorus. T continues with a cup, a cake and a car.
Pupils
Ss repeat the words in chorus and clap once when they hear the word starting with /k/.
Teacher
T asks individual Ss: “What is it?” and gives praise.
Pupils
Ss answer, for example: “It's a cup.” “It's a car.”
Teacher
T says: “All four words start with the sound /k/. Today we will learn a chant about them!” T writes the letter C c on the board.
Pupils
Ss say the letter name “C” and the sound /k/ together with T.
