Introduction
Weather report: Ask the class about today's weather.
Song: Play a warm-up song.
Warmer







Say Hello and smile to students. Encourage them to say Hello in response.
Ask one child to stand up, and say Hello to him/her. Encourage the child to respond with Hello.
Point to yourself and say My name’s… Ask a child What’s your name? He/she answers My name’s…
Say Hello. My name’s… and then encourage children to do the same in pairs, greeting each other and saying their
names.
Say Stand up! and indicate to the class to stand at their seats. Say Sit down! and indicate for them to sit down again.
Play a short game with children, where they have to follow your instructions. Shout Stand up! and Sit down! several
times. The last child to complete the action is “out” each time.

Lead-in






Put Flashcards 1–4 in an envelope. Bring them out one at a time, and say the names for children to repeat in chorus.
Once children have learned the characters’ names, model the greeting Hello, Rosy! etc., and ask children to repeat.
As you bring out each flashcard, children respond with Hello, Tim! etc.
Divide the class into two. When you reveal a flashcard, half of the class says What’s your name? The other half
responds with My name’s Billy, etc.

Presentation
Listen, point, and repeat. (Exercise 1)
Say Open your books and model the action for children to open their Student Books. Point to the characters.
Play the first part of the recording (Track 01, Listen and point). Hold your book up and demonstrate that you are
pointing to the pictures along with the audio. Children listen and point to the appropriate picture.
Note: The first time through, the recording follows the order of the pictures on the page; the second time the order
is out of sequence. This is also true in subsequent word presentations.






Play the second part of the recording (Track 01, Listen and repeat) for children to point to the pictures and repeat the
names.

Hello, Rosy. Hello, Tim. Hello, everyone.
Hello, Billy and Miss Jones. Come and have some fun!
Personalized chant





Write the chant on the board, replacing the names of the children with blanks and the name of the teacher with your
own name. Read the chant with the class. Each time you come to a blank, point to a different child for the class to say
the name in chorus.
If your class if fairly confident, ask children to work in groups of three. They say the chant together, putting their own
names into the blanks. Each time they say a name, they point to the appropriate person.

Ask questions to check comprehension, e.g., Who is in the class? How old is Billy? Is Billy in the class?
Play the recording again for children to listen and follow the text in their books with their finger.

Development
Ball Circle






Divide the class into groups of 5–10. Each group sits in a circle. Give each group a ball.
One child asks What’s your name? and throws the ball to another child, who answers.
This child then asks What’s your name? and throws the ball to another child.
Continue until every child has had a turn.

Mingle





Play some music and encourage children to dance or walk around.
Stop the music suddenly. When the music stops, each child finds a partner.
They ask their partner What’s your name? and answer their partner with My name’s… .
Play the music and continue in this way.

Repeat the activity with other pairs of children.

Scratch it! Mingle







Give each child a blank piece of paper.
Write the names of everyone in the class on the board. If some children have the same name, add middle names or
middle initials (e.g., M. Anh and V. Anh). Have children copy down all the names.

Children mingle around the class and ask each other What’s your name? and answer My name’s… . Encourage them
to follow up with How are you? I’m fine, thank you.
Once they know the other child’s name, they cross it out on their paper.
Once they have crossed out all the names, they have finished.
If your class is motivated by competition, you can divide them into teams before starting the activity, and make the
first team to cross out all the names the winners.

Consolidation
Pair snap!





Divide the class into pairs. Give each pair of children a set of Student Phrase cards.
Children divide the Phrase cards equally between them, and each child places his/her pile of cards face down in front
of him/her.
Children turn over their top cards at the same time.
If the Phrase cards match (e.g., What’s your name? and My name’s…), the children shout Snap! The first child to shout

an older child.
Ask some of the pairs to stand up and ask and answer questions while the other children listen.

One child from each group takes a vocabulary card and reads and mimes the word to the rest of their group. The
group responds by saying the word.
Groups score one point for each word they guess.

Consolidation
Feely Bag
Put some school objects in a bag. Children sit in a circle. Play some music and ask children to pass the bag from one
child to the next around the circle.


Stop the music suddenly. The child who has the bag when the music stops feels an object in the bag and says It’s a
pen / pencil / eraser / book. Then the child pulls the object out of the bag to see if he/she was correct.

Play the music and continue in this way until several children have had a turn.
Note: If you put a pencil in the bag, make sure the tip of it is not sharp.

Culture note: Schools in the United States

Children start elementary school at the age of four or five (depending on when their birthday is) and stay there until
they are ten or eleven. The first year of elementary school is kindergarten, followed by first through fifth grade. In

elementary school, children usually stay with the same class all day and are taught by the same teacher for most
subjects.
When children leave elementary school, they go to junior high or middle school for sixth, seventh, and eighth grade.
Children usually have different teachers for all of the subjects.
Students have different teachers for all subjects in high school as well. High school is usually ninth, tenth, eleventh,
and twelfth grade. Students are seventeen or eighteen when they finish high school.
