T greets the class with 'Hello, everyone! Let's play a Mystery box game.' T shows the box and says 'Who wants to guess?'
Pupils
Ss greet T back ('Hello, teacher!') and raise their hands to volunteer.
Teacher
T lets one S take a card from the box, look at it secretly, and describe it by making a gesture or saying 'It's yummy!'. T asks 'What is it?'
Pupils
Ss guess the food. Expected answers: 'Pizza!', 'Popcorn!', 'Pasta!'. Other Ss repeat the word after T.
Teacher
T asks 'Is it pizza?' and points to the card. T praises Ss with 'Good job!' or 'Excellent!'.
Pupils
Ss answer 'Yes, it's pizza!' or 'No, it's popcorn!'. Two or three Ss take turns.
