How to start
•
Place five or six family flashcards on the board. Tell the
students to look for 30 seconds and to memorise the cards.
Say:
Put your heads down, close your eyes.
Mix up the order
of the cards on the board and remove one of the cards. Tell
the students to open their eyes and ask different individual
pupils:
What’s different?
or
What’s missing?
•
Ask the students to think about things that can be done
with family members and how different family members
help us. For example, ask:
Who do you come to school with?
Do you read with your mother?
Activities: step-by-step guide
Activity 1
•
Ask the students to look at the photos at the top of the page
and to trace the words. When they have finished, in small
groups encourage them to talk about the things they do
with different members of their family. For example:
I play
with my brother and sister. I eat with my mother and father.
I walk with my grandmother.
•
As students are tracing the words and talking to their
classmates walk around the class asking questions, for
example:
Do you eat with your family? Who do you read
with?
Informally check progress.
Activity 2
•
Look at the pictures. What are the people doing? Elicit
answers. (playing football, reading, going for a walk, going
to school). Look at the second row. Say, for example: Point
to father. Point to grandfather.
•
Track 10.
Play the audio track and tell students to
listen and match. Play the track again for students to check
their answers. When they have finished, they can compare
their answers with a partner. Check answers with the whole
class.
Activity 3
•
Do!
Organise students in pairs or small groups. Explain
that they need to take turns acting out things they do with
different members of the family. Their partners can try to
guess the action and ask questions, for example:
Do you
read with your father?
•
Every time they mime an action that they do with their
family members they colour a star. When they have mimed
three activities and coloured three stars, they have finished.
•
Read the sentence at the bottom of the page
What’s this?
•
Students look at the photo at the bottom of the page. Say:
What’s this?
Hands up to answer (a toy). Invite students to
think about what they will talk about in upcoming lessons
based on the image.
