Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 5 minutes

Greetings and Outdoor Activity Chain

Aims

Ss revise greetings and classroom instructions and recall the activities they already know.

Content

Greeting, simple classroom instructions (Stand up, please. Sit down, please.), and a quick chain game built on the question 'What do you do after school?'

Expected outcomes

Ss respond to greetings and instructions with the correct actions and answer 'I play ...' or 'I run.' in the chain game.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T greets the class: 'Good morning, class! How are you today?' Then T gives instructions: 'Stand up, please. Hands up. Sit down, please.' T waits for the class to follow.

    Pupils

    Ss answer 'Good morning, teacher! We're fine, thank you.' and follow the instructions (stand up, hands up, sit down).

  2. Teacher

    T models the chain: 'What do you do after school? I play football.' T points to a student and asks the question. Ss pass the question along the row, each answering with a different activity from the flashcards.

    Pupils

    Ss answer in turn, for example: 'I play football.' / 'I play badminton.' / 'I run.' / 'I skip.' Ss who have difficulty can look at the flashcards.

  3. Teacher

    T asks the class: 'Who plays football after school? Raise your hand.' and counts the answers aloud in English.

    Pupils

    Ss raise hands and answer 'Me!' or 'I play football.' to show their activity.

  4. Teacher

    T praises the class: 'Good job! Today we will learn more outdoor activities.' T writes the question 'What do you do after school?' on the board.

    Pupils

    Ss repeat the question and the model answer 'I play football.' together.

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 20 minutes

Look, Listen and Repeat: Outdoor Activities

Aims

Ss recognise, pronounce and understand the meaning of the ten activity phrases, including the phrase fly a kite, which must be read as a whole.

Content

Flashcards of play football, play badminton, run, skip, swimming, skating, riding a bike, jump, kick a ball and fly a kite; chorus and group repetition; mime of the actions, performed only with hands and arms in class.

Expected outcomes

Ss pronounce the ten phrases correctly and perform the matching action; Ss can explain the difference between fly (alone) and fly a kite (the whole phrase).

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T shows the flashcards one by one and models each phrase: 'Look and listen. Play football. Repeat after me.' T says the phrases clearly, pausing between words in longer phrases such as 'riding a bike'.

    Pupils

    Ss look, listen and repeat in chorus, then in groups of four. Ss check the spelling and sound of each phrase.

  2. Teacher

    T says 'Fly' alone, then 'fly a kite', and asks: 'Do we say fly alone for this activity?' T mimes jump, kick a ball and fly a kite and asks: 'What am I doing?' T reminds Ss: 'In the classroom, we only pretend with our hands and arms. Stop if the space is not enough.'

    Pupils

    Ss answer 'Fly a kite.' and mime the actions in their seats. Ss say the full phrase, not just the verb.
    Predicted answer: 'No, we say fly a kite, not fly.'

  3. Teacher

    T calls on groups to stand and say a phrase with its action, for example 'swimming', 'skating', 'riding a bike'. T corrects pronunciation of the -ing forms and the word 'skating'.

    Pupils

    Each group stands and says one phrase with an action. Ss listen and correct each other politely, for example: 'Riding a bike, not ride bike.'

  4. Teacher

    T summarises on the board: 'play + game (football, badminton)' and 'activity verb + -ing: swimming, skipping, skating, riding a bike, running.' T notes: 'Skating here means playing on wheels, not skiing on snow.'

    Pupils

    Ss copy the two patterns into their notebooks and say one example from each group.

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 15 minutes

Hobby Sentences and the Route Diagram

Aims

Ss understand the dialogue 'What do you do after school?' and use His/Her hobby is ... to talk about a friend's hobby; Ss match the names with their hobbies on a route diagram.

Expected outcomes

Ss match Lan with skipping, Minh with riding a bike and Tom with swimming, and say the correct sentence for each: 'Her hobby is skipping.', 'His hobby is riding a bike.', 'His hobby is swimming.'

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T writes the dialogue on the board: A: What do you do after school? B: I play football. T asks a student to read it with T. Then T writes: His hobby is swimming. and Her hobby is skipping. T asks: 'Is Tom a boy or a girl? Which word do we use: his or her?'

    Ss read the dialogue in pairs. Predicted answer: 'Tom is a boy. We use his: His hobby is swimming.'

  2. Teacher

    T projects the route diagram and models: 'Start at Lan's name. Follow the blue line to the activity.' T reminds: 'At a crossing with no dot, keep going straight along your line. Do not change lines.' Ss in pairs trace the routes with coloured pencils on Worksheet 2.

    Pupils

    Pairs trace each line with the correct colour (blue for Lan, green for Minh, purple for Tom) and write the name of the activity they reach. Predicted answer: 'Lan - skipping, Minh - riding a bike, Tom - swimming.'

  3. Teacher

    T asks each pair: 'What is Lan's hobby?' and checks that Ss use Her, not His, for Lan.

    Pupils

    A pair answers: 'Her hobby is skipping.' T asks: 'Is Minh a boy or a girl?' Predicted answer: 'Boy. His hobby is riding a bike.'

  4. Teacher

    T highlights the two rules on the board: 'His = boy, Her = girl' and 'hobby is + -ing form (swimming, skipping, riding a bike).' T praises the pairs who used the correct form.

    Pupils

    Ss copy the rules in their notebooks and say one full sentence about a classmate, for example: 'His hobby is running.'
