My pencil case
How to start
•
Ask the students to take out three classroom objects
and place them on their desks. Say them (pencil, pencil
sharpener, scissors, crayons, glue, rubber) one by one. If
they have the object on their desk, they stand up and show
it then sit down. Repeat with other objects. Ask questions,
for example,
What colour is the pencil sharpener? Do you
have a rubber in your pencil case? Can you show me your
scissors, please?
