Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 4 minutes
Playground Chat
Aims
Ss get ready for the lesson, review the words for playground activities and feel comfortable speaking English.
Content
T shows the playground picture from the Student's Book and asks simple questions about the activities. Ss answer with the words they already know (ride, bike, car, slide, play). Then Ss sing the song 'Hello, friends' or a short greeting chant to start the lesson.
Expected outcomes
Ss name at least three playground activities in English and answer the teacher's questions in short phrases such as 'A bike.' or 'Kids are playing.'
