Pupils' activities
Teacher
T greets the class: "Hello, everyone! Today we go to the seaside." T asks Ss to look at the colour words on the board and says: "Let's play Colour Bingo!"
Pupils
Ss greet T back: "Hello, teacher!" Ss look at the board and get ready with their bingo cards.
Teacher
T calls out colour words (blue, white, yellow) in random order and asks: "What colour is it?" T models the answer: "Blue!" and then demonstrates the forehead gesture while saying "I can see…".
Pupils
Ss point to the matching colour on the bingo card, say "Blue!" / "White!" / "Yellow!", and copy the forehead gesture. Expected answer: "It's blue!"
Teacher
T asks a few Ss to say the colour they found and to show the gesture: "Who can show me 'I can see'?"
Pupils
Some Ss stand up, show the gesture and say: "I can see blue!"
Teacher
T praises the class and says: "Great! Now we are ready to see the sea." T writes the word see on the board and points out the gesture.
Pupils
Ss repeat after T: "See!" and get ready for the new lesson.
