Teacher's activities
Pupils' activities
Teacher
T says: 'Let's play Simon says! Simon says, ride a bike!' T shows the game rules and asks Ss to copy the actions only when T says 'Simon says'.
Pupils
Ss stand up, listen carefully and follow the actions when T says 'Simon says'.
Teacher
T mimes riding a bike, driving a car and sliding. T asks: 'What am I doing?'
Pupils
Ss guess and answer: 'Riding a bike!' / 'Driving a car!' / 'Sliding!' Some Ss may answer with 'ride' or 'drive' and T gently corrects them to the -ing form.
Teacher
T writes riding, driving and sliding on the board and asks: 'Which word is for a bike?' 'Which word is for a car?'
Pupils
Ss point to the board and answer: 'riding' for a bike, 'driving' for a car, 'sliding' for the slide. T models the pronunciation and Ss repeat.
Teacher
T says: 'Today we will chant a rhyme about these words and learn how to say what people are doing.'
Pupils
Ss repeat the three words after T and get ready for the chant.
