Teacher
T greets the class: 'Good morning, class! How are you today?' T asks Ss to stand up and put their hands on the desk.
Pupils
Ss greet back: 'Good morning, teacher! We are fine, thank you.' Ss stand up and get ready.
Teacher
T says 'One, two, three, four, five!' and raises one finger for each number. T invites Ss to chant and count with their fingers.
Pupils
Ss chant together 'One, two, three, four, five!' and raise the same number of fingers as T.
Teacher
T holds up three fingers and asks: 'How many fingers do I have up?'
Pupils
Ss answer: 'Three!' Some Ss may say 'Three fingers!' T repeats the answers to check pronunciation.
Teacher
T praises the class and introduces the aim: 'Today we will learn to say and count numbers from one to ten.' T writes the title 'Numbers 1–10' on the board.
Pupils
Ss look at the title and repeat 'Numbers one to ten' after T.
