Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 4 minutes
Warm-up: What do you like doing at school?
Aims
Ss recall the school activities they already know and get ready to use the target question and answer.
Content
T asks Ss simple questions about their own school activities. T mimes two or three activities (for example reading and drawing) and asks Ss to guess. Ss answer with 'I like + V-ing' to review the pattern learned before.
Expected outcomes
Ss can name at least three school activities in English and use 'I like...' to talk about themselves.
