Ask the students to listen and guess the right number for
each word. Check their answers. Listen again and ask them
to point to the correct photo as they listen.
•
Talk to the students about the names of their teachers and if
they knowwho the school caretaker and cook are. Ask them
to think about the different things teachers, caretakers and
cooks do to help us. Remind them to say ‘thank you’ when
people help us.
Activity 2
•
Look at the pictures of different jobs and ask the student to
name two jobs.
•
Look at the different objects (keys, pot, blackboard) and the
different places in school (dining room, doors, classroom).
Say:
Match the jobs to the places where these people work.
Assessment opportunity
•
Elicit sentences from the students, for example:
The
caretaker has keys. He opens the doors. The cook has a
pot. She cooks our food. The teacher has a blackboard. She
teaches in the classroom.
•
Ask questions, for example:
Who works in the dining room?
Who needs a blackboard?
•
Read the sentence at the bottom of the page.
Extra idea!
The students draw pictures of what different
people do in the school. for example: caretaker, teachers,
cook.

or at home and to describe how this person helps him/her.
Extension
•
Discuss other jobs where people help us.
What does the
head teacher do? Is there a school nurse? What does
he/she do?
•
Show flashcards of places at school and people who work
in the school. Ask the students to think where the different
people work. Ask them to think of additional jobs in different
places at school (caretaker, gardener, secretary, head of
studies).
•
Invite students to make a Thank you card for someone who
works in their school.
How to start
•
Review activities at school giving TPR instructions:
Read a
book. Wash your hands. Play basketball. Write. Eat lunch.
As the students do the actions, evaluate their capacity to
follow instructions.
•
Ask the students where they do the activities, for example:
Where do we wash our hands?
(in the bathroom sink).
•
Ask the students to think about different people at school
and at home and how they help us. For example,
The
caretaker opens the school doors/gates.

Teaching tip
•
Try to make sure that everyone has a turn when doing
activities. Young learners have a huge sense of fairness and
it is important to make sure that introverted or insecure
children have a chance to participate.
