Procedure
Teacher's activities
Pupils' activities
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).
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.
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.
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.
