Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 8 minutes
Warm-up: Summer chat
Aims
Ss recall what they know about summer holidays and activate the topic 'Our summer holiday'.
Content
T shows flashcards of a beach, a swimming pool, a music club and a holiday. Ss say 'I like...' or 'I want to...' about each picture. Then T plays a quick game 'Pass the word': the class says a holiday activity in turn, and the next student must repeat the previous word before adding a new one.
Expected outcomes
Ss say at least three words related to summer holidays and use 'I like/I want to' correctly.
