a student to come and underline the letter tin that word. Do the same for p and a. Then select another student
to read the word out. Now have students open their books to find the same word on the page, then underline
the letter-sounds and read th,e word aloud. Do the same with the other sample word.
Extension Build the Word Play a game to practice spelling the sample words. Prepare letter cards and put them
on the board and make a grid of two squares for the VC word and three squares for the CVC words. Say one of
the sample words, e.g., tap. Ask a student to come up and put a letter card in the first square. Then ask
another student to do the second card and another student to do the third card. Read the word out as a class
and decide if it is correct. Continue until all the sample words have been spelled out.
Listen. Then play. Direct students' attention to the board game and ask questions about the pictures on the
squares. Point and ask, What's this? Prompt students to answer, It's a pink flower. Check that students
remember all the vocabulary on the board game. Pair students. Explain the game to the class. Students use a
die and move along the board game from top to bottom right. When a student lands on a square, he/she looks
at the picture and makes a sentence about it, e.g., It's a blue bird. Students take turns. The winner is the one
who gets to the cake at the bottom first. Walk around the classroom and help students who may be having
difficulty creating these sentences.

after each word they hear. Pair students and have them play a game. One student in each pair turns away
while his/her partner covers up one classroom object with a slip of paper. His/Her partner has to guess which
picture is covered up. Students take turns and practice all the words.
Listen and number. Ask students to look at the classroom objects in the scene. Play the audio and have
students listen first. Play the audio again. Have students number the classroom objects in the boxes as they
listen to the audio. Invite students to give their answers to the class.
Extension What's in my pencil case? Hold up a pencil case and ask, What's in my pencil case? Explain that you
have several items in your pencil case and students should guess what they are. Students take turns to call out
an object. If they guess right, hold the item up, saying, Yes, I have a ruler.
Listen and chant. Hold up some classroom objects item by item and ask students to repeat after you while
holding up their own items. Mention the color of the item, e.g., This is a red pen. Ask students to repeat after
you. Continue with all target vocabulary words. Have students listen to the chant and find the colors of each
classroom item they hear. Play the chant again and have students chant along. Direct students' attention to the
scene. Say, What's on the desk in front of Millie? (A green ruler.) What's on the desk in front of Oscar? (A blue
pen.) What does Waldo have in his mouth? (An orange pencil.)
Listen and number. Then say. Ask students to listen for the classroom objects. Play the audio and have students
listen. Play the audio again and ask students to number the objects in the order they hear them. Then have
students repeat the sentences after you.
Extension Ask and Color Give each student a copy of Activity Sheet 3. Working in pairs, students ask and
answer about the objects. Model the language for students. Student A points to an object on her sheet and
asks, What's this? Student B replies, It's a black pencil. Student A colors the pencil in accordingly. Students
continue until all the items have been colored in. Then they switch roles. Ask students to check their answers
at the end of the activity.

e.g., How many mice? Direct attention to the rulers and ask, How many rulers? How many chairs? What color
are they? Do a TPR activity to review jump and climb. Say, jump, climb. Do the appropriate actions as you say
them and have students repeat and do the actions with you.
Play the song audio and have students listen. Play the audio again and ask students to write the number of
items they can count. Pair students and have them check their answers with their partners. Invite students to
sing the song. Play the audio again and ask students to do the actions as they sing the song.
Extension Vocabulary Line-Up Give eight students a Picture Card with target vocabulary from this page. Call out
the words one by one and have students with the corresponding cards go to the front of the classroom and
line up. Have them line up in the same order as the words were called. Ask the rest of the class if the students
have lined up in the correct order. Repeat with different groups of students.
Listen and circle. Then ask and answer. Ask students questions about the pictures. For example, Are the chairs
yellow? Help students answer, Yes, they are. Ask, Are the backpacks blue? (No, they aren't.) What color are
they? (They're red.) Play the audio and have students listen. They should circle the objects they hear. Play the
audio again, pausing for students to answer the questions on the audio by themselves. Pair students and have
them ask each other about the objects which they haven't circled. Student A says, Are the pencils red? Student
B looks at the picture and answers, Yes, they are. Partners can switch roles and play again until they have
practiced all the target items.
Listen, draw, and color Ask students to listen to the audio and draw what they hear. Play the audio and allow
sufficient time between each item to draw and color. Play the audio again as necessary.
Extension Draw Some More Pass out drawing paper and ask students to take out their crayons or colored
pencils. Have them draw and color three desks, two pens and two rulers in a color they know. Students work in
pairs, not showing each other their pictures. Student A describes the items as above (e.g., three desks), while

dragon.)
Extension Be the Teacher Students work in groups of three, one acting out the role of teacher, the other two
acting the role of students. The "teacher" uses the Student Book (pages 22-26) to ask students to identify
objects. What's this? (It's a pencil case.) What's this? (It's a green dragon.) Remind students playing teacher
that they must only ask questions which they know the answers to. Encourage the "teachers" to say Very
good! when a student gets the answer right.
Listen and check (✓). Tell students to look at the numbered pictures and the Yes/No boxes underneath. Put
students in pairs or small groups, and see if they can predict what they will hear on the audio. Then have them
listen and check the correct box.
Role-play the story. Divide students into groups, making sure there are the same number of students in each
group as there are characters in the story. Give each group a set of Story Cards and have students place them
in order. Invite four student volunteers to come to the front to act out the roles of Zak, Waldo, boy and teacher.
Play the audio while students role-play the story. Ask other groups of students to come to the front to role-play
the story.
Look and stick Read the value, Work hard at school. Direct students' attention to the sticker page. Point to the
picture of the boy and girl in class, answering questions and writing neatly. Say, It's good to work hard at
school. Ask students to stick their stickers on the corresponding box Ask students to look at the remaining
pictures. Say, these students don't work hard. Students complete their sticking.

next to the instrument they hear Play the audio again and ask them to mime playing along to the music. Ask
students, Which music do you like best?
Extension Bingo Give each student a copy of Activity Sheet 4 and ask them to cut each object out to make ten
cards. The students choose six of their cards to place in front of them. They put the other four cards aside.
Turn up the first picture from the pile on your desk (same ten pictures, shuffled) and call out the word, e.g., It's
a backpack. Then students who have a backpack showing turn their picture face down. Continue calling out
objects. The first student to turn over all six cards should shout Bingo!
Mini-project: Have students make a poster of musical instruments, including those featured in the unit and
others of their own choosing. They can work in pairs or in small groups. Ask students to label the instruments.
Listen Have students open their books. Play the audio a couple of times
Listen point and say. Play the audio, pausing after each letter-sound to allow students to do the activity. Repeat
several times.
Listen and blend the sounds. Write a word on the board. Underline each phoneme in the word as you sound it
out, e.g., d-i-p. Now have students whisper the word to the person next to them. Ask for a volunteer to say the
word and encourage the students to cheer if they got it right. As a group, chorus the sounding out and word
one more time, d-i-p. Now repeat with the rest of the words.
Underline d, m, and n. Read the words aloud. With books closed, write sit on the board. Sound out and select
a student to come and underline the grapheme in that word. Then select another student to read the word
out. Now have students open their books to find the same word on the page, then underline the grapheme
and read the word aloud. Do the same with the other sample words.
Extension Scrambled Words Play a game to practice spelling the sample words. Put the letter cards for a word
on the board making sure the cards are scrambled. Sound out and say the word. Have a student come to the
board and unscramble the cards to make the word. To increase the challenge, say the word without sounding it
out. Continue with the rest of the words.
Lesson 13
Time 40 – 60 minutes
Lesson aims
To review unit language with a game
Materials Picture Cards 28-42, die, words cards of target vocabulary
Warm-up Display the Picture Cards 28-42 or realia in the classroom to review classroom object vocabulary. Say,
What's this? (Hold up a pencil.) Is this a yellow backpack? Play a drawing game on the board, in teams. Two
students draw the item you tell them and whoever's team guesses first, scores a point.
Listen. Then color and play. Direct students' attention to the board game and ask questions about the pictures
in it. Ask, Who's this? (Zak.) Who has a yellow backpack? (Rita.) Pair students. Explain the game to the class.
Students first color the different items on their board. Then they use a die and move along their partner's
game board from top to bottom right. When a student lands on a square, he/she looks at the picture and
makes a sentence about it, e.g., It's a blue eraser. Students take turns. The winner is the one who first gets
back to the starting point. Walk around the classroom and help students who may be having difficulty creating
these sentences. Play the audio to model the language.
Listen and move. Play the audio and have students listen to the actions. Play the audio again and have students
do the actions with you. Repeat until students are confident with the routine. Challenge students to be the
leader and call out the actions for the rest of the class.
Extension Match the Cards Have students sit in groups. Give a set of Picture Cards 28-42 and matching word
cards to each group. All cards should be turned face down. Students take turns to turn up two cards at a time
and try and pair a picture with the corresponding word. Whoever makes a correct pair gets another go. The
winner is the student with the most pairs. To make this game easier, have students work in pairs within the
group.
Count and write. Have students look at the pictures. Ask students the names of the instruments and their
colors, e.g., Are they yellow guitars? (No, they aren't. They're blue.) Ask students to write the numbers in the
boxes, along with the colors.
Write and draw. Then listen and color. Ask students to write the name of the objects and draw the pictures.
Then ask them to listen to the audio and color the objects accordingly.
Extension What is it? Divide the class into small groups of four or five and ask students to sit in circles. Pass out
drawing paper and ask students to take out their colored pencils or crayons. Have them draw a classroom
object or musical instrument on their papers. Have them ask and answer after they have finished drawing.
Model the conversation. Turn to one student and ask, What is it? Prompt the student to answer, It's a (ruler),
depending on what he or she drew. Be sure every student has an opportunity to ask and answer in his/her
group.

seven. Review family vocabulary with Picture Cards 43-48. Ask students to tell you the people in Zak's family.
Listen to the story. Ask students to look at the story and answer questions: Who's this? (Vava.) Is this Vava's
mom? (No, it isn't. It's Vava's sister.) Ask students what occupations Vava's dad and mom have. What's Zak's
dad? (Students can turn to page 35 for another clue). Play the audio and have students listen to the story as
they follow along in their books. Play the audio again. Check students' understanding of the story by asking
questions: Is Vava's dad a pilot? Is Vava's mom a doctor? How old is Zak? How old is Rita?
Extension This is my family! Divide the class into groups. Explain that each group is a family. Pupils each choose
a member of the family they wish to be. They create a name and an age for themselves. One member of each
"family" introduces the family to the class. This is my sister. She's called (Ella). She's (5). Students could also
include jobs when introducing mom and dad, e.g., He's a doctor.
Who's at the airport? Give each student a copy of Activity Sheet 6 and some glue. Explain that they should cut
out the images of the people below and choose five people to stick onto their airport scene. Demonstrate the
game. Say, Close your eyes. Ask, Who's at the airport? and see if students can guess, e.g., a pilot. After they
have guessed the five people at the airport, show them the picture. Have students play in pairs and their
partner guess. Then change roles.
Listen and number. Tell students to look at the pictures and number what they hear on the audio. Students
check their answers in pairs.
Role-play the story. Divide students into groups, making sure there are the same number of students in each
group as there are characters in the story. Give each group a set of Story Cards and have students place them
in order. Students act out the story in groups of six. Rotate the speaking part (Vava) and other parts between
all the students so that everyone gets a turn at being someone different each time. As an alternative, they can
tell the story from Zak or Rita's point of view. Students can mime the doctor and pilot roles or impersonate Zak
and Rita. Ask one group to show the class its story. Encourage students to say the lines from memory using
prompts.
Draw your family and write. Read the value, Love your family. Direct students' attention to the picture of mom
and dad and me. Say, It's good to love your family. Ask students to draw a picture of their own family in the
space and embellish it with illustrations. They can add pets they love, too. Ask them to add the family name of
each member.
Extension Hot Potato Use the occupation Picture Cards (50-57) and a bean bag or a stuffed animal as a "hot
potato." Students sit or stand in a circle and pass the "hot potato" around while music is playing. Suddenly stop
the music. When the music stops, the student left holding the "hot potato" has to answer a question about the
Picture Card or the story to stay in the game. Ask questions like, Who's this? (An artist.) How old is Rita?
(Eight.) Is Vava's dad a teacher? (No, he isn't. He's a doctor.)

Lesson aims
To integrate cross-curricular content (social science) into English class To develop cross-curricular content
through a short project
Additional language dancer, baker, actor, sailor
Materials Props associated with the new occupations on this page, Picture Cards 50-57
Warm-up If you can, bring in some props (e.g., a bread roll, a rolled-up map/binoculars, a mask or make—up
set/ stage props, a tiara/women's tights) associated with each of the occupations in Activity 14. Ask students to
open their Student Book on page 40 and point to which occupation as you show them the props. As they
answer, say actor, dancer, baker, sailor. Write the words on the board and ask students to repeat them after
you. Ask what other occupations they remember from earlier in the unit. Write them on the board, too.
Listen and number. Direct students' attention to the photos and ask questions about them, e.g., Is she a
dancer? (No, she isn't. She's a baker.) Play the audio. Ask students to listen as they look at the photos and write
the numbers in the boxes. Play the audio again. Ask students to listen and say the word they hear.
Draw and say. Ask students to look at the four small pictures on the left. Each picture represents something
missing in the four big pictures. Ask students to tell you which one goes where and name the occupation (book
to teacher, cat to vet, stethoscope to doctor, cap to pilot).
Extension Memory Chain This game requires students to listen and repeat what the previous student said and
add on another action. For example, the first student acts out an occupation and says a sentence to the
student next to him or her, e.g., I'm a dancer. The second student then acts out two actions and says them,
He's/She's a dancer. I'm a cook. The third student then acts out three actions and says them, He's/She's a
dancer. He's/She's a cook. I'm a vet. Continue until students have said all the occupations. Allow students to
help each other remember.
Mini-project: Ask students what they would like to be when they grow up. Use Picture Cards 50-57 to remind
them of all the occupations discussed in the unit so far. Ask them to draw a picture of what they want to be
and label the occupation. Put the pictures up and make a poster for discussion. Which occupation was the
most popular? Have students draw what is missing in each picture, then ask them to repeat the occupation
words.
Listen, point, and say. Play the audio, pausing after each letter—sound to allow students to do the activity.
Repeat several times.
Listen and blend the sounds. Put the g card on the board and sound out g. Have the students repeat after you.
Then do the same for a and s. Now sound out g-a-s while tapping your finger under each card and have the
students repeat. Finally blend and say the word, g-a-s, gas a few times, eventually having students join in with
you. Now repeat with the rest of the words. Turn to the book and do the activity on the page.
Underline c, g, and o. Read the words aloud. With books closed, write cap on the board. Sound out c and select
a student to come and underline the grapheme c in that word. Then select another student to read the word
out. Now have students open their books to find the same word on the page, then underline the grapheme
and read the word aloud. Do the same with the other sample words.
Extension Five Lives Play a game to practice spelling the sample words. Prepare word cards for the Unit 3
sample words. Write the numbers 1-5 and a grid of three squares on the board. Put all the introduced letter
cards on one side of the board. Take a word card (e.g., top) from a box but do not show it. Explain that
students have five chances to guess the word on the card. Ask a student to call out a letter-sound. If this is in
the word, show the student where to place the letter card in the grid, if it isn't, the class loses one life. The
students win if they can make the word before their five lives are over.

ask them to modify their mime to show, e.g., a sad doctor. Then say, Happy. and ask them to modify their
mime to show, e.g., a happy cook
Extension Think Fast Display the Picture Cards for this unit all over the room. Divide the class into two or more
teams. Alternate asking each team to point to one of the cards and say the name of the word. Give each team
a maximum of 10 seconds to speak. Make it a rule that a different member of the team must speak each time,
but can get help from his/her team members. Teams are not allowed to repeat words. If a team gets a word
correct, it gets five points. Keep up the pace. A team loses a turn if it does not answer in time
Listen and check (/). Have students look at the pictures. Ask students the names of the occupations and family
members. Ask students to listen to the audio and check the boxes they hear.
Extension Same or Different For this game, students will look at three items and choose the one that is in a
different category from the other two. Call three students to the front of the class. Then select three Picture
Cards, e.g., grandmother, teacher, dancer and give one to each of them. As you say each word, ask the
students to hold up their card. Then point to teacher and dancer and say, Same. Point to grandmother and
shake your head and say, Different. Teacher and dancer are occupations, but a grandmother isn't. Next, give
three more Picture Cards, e.g., mom, sister, pencil, to three new students at the front of the class. Ask these
students to say the name of their card as they hold it up. Point to mom and sister and prompt students to say,
Same. Point at pencil and shake your head. Prompt students to say, Different. Put together groups of three
Picture Cards in which one is different. Give three cards to three students and ask them to hold up their card
one by one and say the name. Have the students name all three items and then the rest of the class to call out
some or different.

brother, sister. Hold up the house Picture Card and say, This is a house. Use the main illustration to point to
various items and ask questions, e.g., Who's this?(Rita.) What's this? (A window.) Then consolidate the new
vocabulary house, bedroom, kitchen, living room, bathroom, door and window by pointing to the pictures on
the page and having students say the words.Play the audio and have students listen. Play the audio again and
have students speak along with the audio. Then attach the Picture Cards (door, window, living room, bedroom,
kitchen, bathroom) to your house outline on the board. Let students fill in the missing words as you introduce
your house, pointing to the rooms or objects in turn. Say, This is my .... (let students say, house). This is the ....
(let students say, kitchen) and so on, for the rest of the house.
Listen and say. Students look at the pictures at the bottom of the page and identify the following: door,
window, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room, house. Play the audio. Students point at the items as they
hear them. Play the audio again and have students repeat each item
Listen and number. Ask students to look at the pictures of Zak's family again. Play the audio and have students
listen first for the names of the rooms and objects. Play the audio again and have students write the numbers
in the boxes for the rooms and objects they hear. Ask students to check their answers in pairs.
Extension Hide from the Monster Write the words for four rooms on cards or slips of paper and stick them on
the walls in different parts of the classroom. Put the Picture Cards (matching the four rooms) in a bag. Choose
one student to be the monster. Divide the class into four groups and have each group hide from the monster in
one of the "rooms", while you and the monster count to 10. The monster then takes a Picture Card from the
bag and visits that room. Everyone in that room loses one life (out of five). The winner is the group with the
most "lives" left.
Listen and chant.Ask students to point to each of Zak's family members. Say, e.g., Point to Dad. Have students
mime the activities that the family members are doing. Teach the word bed by pointing to the bed where Zak
and Waldo are sleeping.
Play the audio and have students listen. Have students point to the people in Zak's house as they are
mentioned. Ask them to listen again and say the chant, one group asking the questions, e.g., Where's my
mom? and the other group saying the answers, e.g., She's in the living room.
Listen and write ✓ or X. Then say. Play the audio and have students listen. Where's Waldo? He's in the kitchen.
Where's Waldo? He's in the living room. Where's Waldo? He's in the bedroom. 4' Where's Waldo? He's in the
bathroom. Play the audio and have students write ✓ or x in the box below each picture according to whether
the answer on the recording is true or not. Check the answers. Have students ask and answer about each
picture in pairs using, Where's Waldo? He's in the (bathroom).
Extension Where are they? Cut out enough characters and sentences from Activity Sheet 11 so that every
student has either a picture or a matching question. Ask students holding the questions to try and find the
answers by asking other students their question as they walk around the class. If a student doesn't know,
he/she can say, I don't know. Continue until all the students have found their matching pictures and then ask
them questions, e.g., Where's Mr. Voom? (He's in the dining room.)
Lesson 28
Time 40 – 60 minutes
Lesson aims
To identify household objects To practice locations with the preposition in using a song To use household
vocabulary
Target language bed, stove, refrigerator, TV, sofa, lamp, tub, sink
Materials Picture Cards 1-4; 16-22; 58-69; 70-78; 88-95, mouse puppet
Warm-up Put students into three teams. Place a selection of the Picture Cards across the board (70-78, 88-95).
Have students line up in three rows and face the front. Go to the back of the room. Ask the last student in each
row to turn to you. Silently say the name of one of the Picture Cards (or show the word matching the Picture
Card). Have each student whisper the name to the student in front of him or her. The last student in the row,
runs to the board and taps the Picture Card as they say the name. The first student to do so correctly, gets five
points for their team. Repeat the activity until each student has had a turn at touching the board.
Listen and say. Hold up the Picture Cards (bed, stove, refrigerator, TV, sofa, lamp, tub, sink) one by one and say
the names. Ask students to repeat after you. Ask, What's cold? (refrigerator) What's hot? (stove/lamp) What's
pink? (sofa) What's long? (Bed.) Play the audio and have students point in their books as they hear the
vocabulary. Play the audio again and have students repeat after the audio. Use the Picture Cards one by one
and ask, e.g., What's this? (stove), etc.
Listen and write. Then sing and act. Before class, draw a house with a garden and a path leading to a small
shed. Also draw a bath in the bathroom and a bed in the bedroom of the house. Now draw a mouse (or use a
mouse puppet) which you can move around the house and attach to different places as needed. Start with the
mouse in the garden. Point and ask students questions about the pictures to recycle known vocabulary. What's
this? (house, mouse, chair, flower, bed, bedroom, bathroom, etc). Is it (big/ small)? Pre-teach hippo and ask
why students think the hippo is standing on a chair (mime scared). Say, e.g., It's scared of the mouse. Show
students your prepared picture of a house and garden. Teach the words garden, shed, shrub, path and tub by
pointing to the words, saying them several times while students repeat. Also remind students of the word bed.
Point to the mouse in the garden. Ask, Where's the mouse? (It's in the garden.) Now move the mouse into the
bed in the bedroom and ask, Where's the mouse? (It's in the bed.) Do the same for in the tub/shed. Continue
until students are confident with these new sentences. Play the song and have students listen. Play the song
again and have students complete the missing words. Play the karaoke version of the song for students to sing
and mime along to. Tell them to point when they hear the word "Look!" and mime searching for the mouse.
Extension Pass the Bag Put a mix of Picture Cards (1-4,16-22,58-69, 88-95) in a bag filled with shredded paper.
Students sit in a circle and pass the bag around while music is playing. Stop the music. The student who is
holding the bag picks out a card and identifies the picture. Play the music again and repeat.
Listen and check (✓). Then say. Ask students to tell you what they can see in the pictures. Point to the TV in
Picture la and ask, Where's the TV? Play the audio and have students listen. Play the audio again, pausing for
students to check the correct pictures. Pair students and have them ask each other about the location of the
objects in each picture. Partners can switch roles so they both practice asking and answering.
Listen and stick. Then play. Ask students about the pictures. Point and ask, What's this? (a tub), What's this? (a
sink). Play the audio, allowing time for students to stick the correct sticker on the pictures. Put students in pairs
and have them play. Use the model sentences to demonstrate the activity.
Extension Draw the Word Divide the class into two teams. Two students come to the front of the class and pick
a Picture Card (96-103). The students then have to draw the vocabulary item on the board while their team
tries to guess what the word is. Whichever team guesses correctly first, wins a point, and the turn moves to
the next members of each team and a new picture card.
Lesson 29
Time 40 – 60 minutes
Lesson aims
To consolidate target language in a story
1 Additional language This is my bedroom. Hi! Come in. cool
Materials Picture Cards 28-34; 43-49, Activity Sheet 12
Warm-up Hide several different classroom objects around the room, or use Picture Cards 28-34. Then divide
students into two teams and have them find the objects. Be sure to tell students beforehand what objects to
look for. Afterward, each team shows its objects to the class and names each object. The teams get 2 points for
each object they find. They get 5 points for each object they name correctly. Review family vocabulary with
Picture Cards 43-49. Ask students to tell you the people in Zak's family.
Listen to the story.Look at the story pictures and talk about the characters and where they are. Ask some
questions about the pictures, Who's this? (Mr. Voom.) What color is the chair? (Purple.) Where is Zak? (In the
kitchen.), etc. Ask students to briefly tell you what they think happens in the story (Millie comes to visit Rita).
Ask, Are Millie and Rita friends? (Yes, they are.)nPre-teach cool and Hi! Come in. Point at a student's backpack
and say, That's a cool backpack. Explain that cool means something attractive/nice. Mime opening your front
door and greeting a friend, saying Hi! Come in. Play the audio and have students listen to the story as they
follow along in their books. Check students' understanding of the story by asking questions: Is Waldo in the
kitchen? (No, he's in the bathroom.) Is Vava's mom in the bedroom? (No, she's in the kitchen.) Play each line of
the audio one by one, stopping after each. Encourage students to repeat the words of each character.
Extension Silly Sentences Put students in small groups. Ask them to use words they know to make silly
sentences. Model the activity by saying a few silly sentences yourself, e.g., There's a hamster on my foot. Ask
groups to tell you their sentence and write them on the board. Ask the class which they like best. What's in my
bedroom? Divide students into small groups. Give each group a copy of Activity Sheet 12 and have students
color the items and cut them out. Demonstrate the game. Say, Close your eyes. Stick a few items into the
different rooms of the house. Ask, What's in my bedroom? and see if students can guess, e.g., There's a blue
door. Have students play the game in their groups. One student puts items in his/her house and the other
students have to guess. Then have them switch roles so each student has the chance to "dress" his/her house.
Look and match. Have the students tell you the names of the characters in the pictures. Then ask them to look
at the photographs and match the characters to their location. Do the first one with students. Say, e.g.,
Where's Zak? He's in the kitchen. Students check their answers in pairs.
Role-play the story. Divide students into groups, making sure there are the same number of students in each
group as there are characters in the story. Give each group a set of Story Cards and have students place them
in order. Divide students into seven groups and give each group a character, either Rita, Zak, Millie, Mrs. Voom,
Mr. Voom, Vava or Waldo. Each group should practice its lines/mime in class. Encourage students to say the
lines from memory using prompts. Then invite a member from each group to come and role-play the story.
Repeat with new sets of students and, if possible, give every student the opportunity to participate.
Look and stick. Read the value, Be neat! Direct students' attention to the picture of the two rooms. Talk about
the differences between the two rooms. Ask about what's on the floor and what's on the bed. Have students
tell you which picture shows neat and tidy. Say, It's good to be neat. Have students find the stickers in the back
of the book and stick them onto the correct places.
Extension Hot Potato Use a bean bag or a stuffed animal as a "hot potato." Students sit or stand in a circle and
pass the "hot potato" around while music is playing. Suddenly stop the music. When the music stops, the
student left holding the "hot potato" has to answer a question about the story to stay in the game. Ask
questions like Who's this? (Millie.) Who is her friend? (Rita.) Who is Mr. Voom? (Zak's father.) What is in Rita's
bedroom? (A cool bed.) etc.
Home-School link: Read the directive with the class: Clean your bedroom. Show your family. Ask students to do
this at home.

To integrate cross-curricular content (social science) into English class
To develop cross-curricular content through a short project
Additional language store, library, playground, cafe, zoo, garden It's a playground.
Materials pictures (store, library, playground, cafe, zoo, garden)
Starting the lesson Play a version of Simon Says. Clear a space for students to stand up. Have students follow
the directions that Millie says, e.g., Millie says touch your nose (students touch their nose). Say, Millie says
touch your head (students touch their head). Say, Millie says stand up (students stand up). Say, Sit down!
(students shouldn't sit down because Millie didn't say sit down). Those that do the wrong action are out.
Continue until there is one student left. Demonstrate the prepositions in, on, under using objects on your desk.
Ask students, e.g., Where's the book?
Listen and number. Then say. Pre-teach store, library, playground, cafe, zoo and garden by using your own
photos of local places familiar to students and miming what you can do in each place, e.g., mime drinking a
cup of tea/reading a book/paying for something/petting animals. Point to the photos at the top of the page
and ask, Where's the (store)? Students find the store. Repeat with the other places featured. Have students
listen to the audio and point in their books. Play the audio again and ask students to listen as they look at the
photos and write the numbers in the boxes. Get students in groups to act out one of the places and see if the
others can guess what it is.
Listen and match Look at the photos and ask students to say what the places are. Then they look at the
pictures of the children. Ask questions such as, Who has books? Where is he? Is he in a library? (Yes, he's in a
library) Ask students to guess where they think each child is. Then have students listen to the audio and draw
lines to match.
Extension Memory Chain This game requires students to listen and repeat what the previous student said and
add on another sentence. For example, the first student says a sentence to the student next to him or her, e.g.,
I'm in the bedroom. The second student then says, He's/She's in the bedroom. I'm in the bathroom. The third
student then says three sentences, He's/She's in the bedroom. He/She's in the bathroom. I'm in the garden.
Continue until students have said all the locations. Allow students to help each other remember. Mini-project:
Ask students to draw a picture of themselves in their favourite place. Help them label their pictures then make
a display on the wall. Talk about places students have drawn.
Listen. Explain to students that when f and /come at the end of a word the letters are doubled to ff and // but
the sound is the same. Have students open their books. Play the audio a couple of times
Listen, point, and say. Play the audio, pausing after each letter-sound to allow students to do the activity.
Repeat several times.
Listen and blend the sounds Stay silent. Show the group the first letter card for a CVC word, e.g., bell, and elicit
the phoneme b. Place it on the board. Now repeat this for e and for IL Now tap your finger under each card to
prompt the students to blend the letter-sounds. Finally make a 'What is it?' gesture to elicit the word and then
look delighted when they get it. Now repeat with the rest of the words.
Underline f, ff, 1, g, and IL Read the words aloud. Have students work individually. First they should hide the
illustrations with a ruler or notebook. Once they have underlined the graphemes and read the line of words
aloud, they can reveal the illustrations. Continue with the second line. Follow up as a whole group asking for
volunteers to read the words aloud.
Extension Fingers Play a game to practice spelling the sample words. Say a word, e.g., off, and sound out o-ff,
holding up two fingers for each sound in the word. Have the students use their fingers to sound out the word.
As they do so, write the word on the board. Now do the same with other VC and CVC words, but this time have
the students write the words themselves on a piece of paper. At the end, put the word cards on the board so
students can check their work in pairs.

Materials Picture Cards 50-57; 70-78; 88-103
Warm-up Divide the class into teams. Have a team member from each team come up to the board. Face the
team members at the board and show them a Picture Card (Pets, Occupations, Classroom objects). Make sure
the class cannot see the card. Have the students begin to draw the item. The first team that guesses the item
correctly wins a point. Repeat with other team members. Put the Picture Cards 88-103 on one side of the
board and write the matching words in a jumbled up column on the other side of the board. Call students to
the board to match a picture of their choice with the corresponding word.
Listen. Then check (✓) and say. Direct students' attention to the picture and ask questions about the characters
in it. Point and ask about the characters below the scene, e.g., Who's this? (Zak.) Who's this? (Mrs. Voom) etc.
Explain the game to the class. Students play in pairs, taking turns to ask about each character. As they ask
about the characters they should check the boxes. Play the audio to model the language. When students have
completed the activity, ask individual students, Where's Vava? Where's Mr. Voom? Where's Millie? etc. to
check their understanding. You can also ask questions about the animals, Where's the dog? (In the
playground.) Where's the rabbit? (In the playground.) Where's the bird? (In the tree.) Where's Waldo? (In the
playground.)
Listen and act Play the audio and have students listen. Ask students what places they hear mentioned and
write them on the board. Play the audio again. Pause the audio and have students mime the location by doing
actions connected with the places, e.g., reading in the library.
Extension Picture Tic-Tac-Toe Put students into 4-5 teams. Place nine Picture Cards that students have learned
face down on a table in the form of a Tic-Tac-Toe board (a 3 x 3 grid). The teams take turns turning over a card
and naming the picture. If students are right, the card remains face up. If not, the card is turned face down
again. The first team to identify three cards in a row wins. Repeat the activity with nine more Picture Cards.
Look and write. Have students look at the pictures. Ask students the names of the rooms and household
objects they see in each picture. Point at 1 and ask, What's this? (Bathroom.) Point to 4 and ask, What's this?
(Tub.) Ask students to write the words of the objects and rooms they see. Check spellings by having a few
students write their answers on the board.
Listen and draw. Ask students what they see in the pictures. Point and say, What's this? (A desk.) What's this?
(A chair.) What's this? (A table.) Have them listen to the audio, allowing time between each sentence for them
to draw the items. Play the audio again and have students check their work. Extend the activity by asking them
to color the items according to your instructions, e.g., Color the books blue. Color the desk brown. Color the
puppies black, etc.
Extension Find Your Match Divide students into two teams. Write the unit target vocabulary on slips of paper.
Students in one team each get a word. Cover the words on Picture Cards 88-103 with pieces of paper. Give
each student in the other team a card. Students mingle to find their matching word or card. Remind students
with the word cards to call out the words written on their cards. Afterward, swap the items and repeat the
activity.
Unit wrap-up I can: Read the two statements with students and invite students to check the boxes. Say, Good
job! Then walk around the class and initial the page.

Warm-up Review parts of the body vocabulary by playing a sentence chain game. For example, one student
says, This is my eye. and the next student says This is my ear. Students continue to say sentences about their
body parts without pausing. Those who pause too long are out. Ask a student to drill the class on animals by
holding up Picture Cards 70-78, one by one, at the front of the class, as students call out the name of the
animal. Reverse the procedure and allow students to call out an animal and the student at the front to find and
hold up the matching card.
Listen and say. Introduce the new words with the Picture Cards. Hold them up one by one and ask students to
repeat the words after you. Then ask students to look in their books and point at the words as you say them.
Play the audio and have students say the words after the audio. Point to individual pictures and ask student to
tell you the food name.
Listen and write. Then sing and act. Draw a picture of a bear on the board and pre-teach bear. Ask what bears
like to eat (elicit the fact that they like sweet things and like eating people's food). Draw some bees on the
board and a pot of honey or a honeycomb. Teach the word honey and remind students of the word bees. Draw
a happy face and a sad face at the top of the board. Say Yum! I like (honey). Mime to show the meaning of like
and draw a pot of honey below the happy face. Then make a horrible face and say Ugh! I don't like (cheese).
Draw some cheese below the sad face. Alternatively, use Picture Cards 114-121. Ask individual students, Do
you like (honey)? (Yes/No.) Play the song audio and have students listen. Play the audio again and ask students
to write the missing words in the spaces. Have students check their answers with their partners. Have students
do the actions (mime eating jello and cake, etc.) as they sing the song.
Extension What food is it? Divide the class into pairs or small groups. Students choose one of the foods from
the unit and mime eating it. His/Her partner guesses which food it is. In my backpack, I want ... Put students in
pairs and give each pair a copy of Activity Sheet 13. Explain the game. Students take turns to throw the die and
travel across the board game, picking up things they want for their backpack. When they land on a picture,
they should say, In my backpack, I want (chocolate). Check students understand Move forward/back one space.
The winner is the first person to reach the finish. Students switch partners and play the game again.
Listen and write ✓ or X. Then ask and answer. Play the audio and have students listen. Play the audio again and
ask students to write ✓ or A', depending on whether Millie likes a food or doesn't like a food. Have students
check their answers in pairs first. Ask students to add ✓ or X to their chart in the Student's Book, depending on
if they like the foods in the box. Pair students and have them ask and answer about the foods, recording the
results in the box.
Listen and guess. Then play. Play the audio and have students listen. Stop the audio after Who am I? and ask
students to guess the animals' identity. Then play the audio so students can check if they were right.
Extension Food Bingo Write a list of the foods and drinks from this unit on the board. Students choose four of
the items and write or draw them on a piece of paper. Call out the words in turn and have students cross out
the words/ pictures they have drawn as you say them. The first student to cross out all of his/her

cheese clap their hands and repeat the sentence. Continue with the other foods Play the song on page 80 (CD
track C:11). Have students sing along and put their hands up when they hear a food word..
Extension What's next? Divide the class into groups. Students decide what happens after the last frame of the
story. Give each group a piece of paper and ask them to draw a final frame for the story. Invite the groups to
the front of the class to share their drawings with the class. Find what I don't like. Make copies of Activity
Sheet 14 so that every student has a picture card. Explain to students that they shouldn't show their card to
anyone, but look at it, then put it their pocket. Then pair students (for example boy and girl, by same first letter
of name, by same color of pants, etc.) Tell students the aim of the game is to discover what their partner
doesn't like. They can ask using the question, Do you like (chocolate)? The answering student must reply, Yes,
unless he/she is asked about the picture on his/her card, in which case he/ she is "discovered" and the answer
is "No, I don't." Then pairs switch roles. Have students change partners and play again.
Look and circle the food they like. Have students work in pairs. They should look at each character and based
on the story so far, decide which items of food the characters like. Check students' answers. Ask, e.g., What
does Zak like? (Cake, fruit.)
Role-play the story. Divide students into groups, making sure there are the same number of students in each
group as there are characters in the story. Give each group a set of Story Cards and have students place them
in order. Divide students into groups and have them role-play the story. When you say, Change, they should
change character and role-play a new character. Rotate through the characters giving students the chance to
play each one. Read the value, Be polite. Ask students how they can be polite. Have them mime asking for
juice or cake. Remind them to say please and thank you. Have students look at the pictures in their books.

Extension Let's Go Fishing Divide students into two teams. Have all students draw and cut out a selection of
paper foods. Have students attach a paper clip to their shape and stick it down with tape. Scatter the paper
shapes on the floor or put them in a box. Give each team a fishing line with a magnet, and show students a
food word. Have students catch whatever they read (e.g., cake, salad, honey), calling out the word as they
catch the food. The first student to catch the food and correctly name it, gets a point for their team. New team
members take turns fishing for what you show them.
Mini-project: Have students make a poster drawing of healthy and unhealthy food. Stick Picture Cards 104-121
on the board to remind them of the words. Students can organize their poster into two parts and draw a heart
above pictures of food which is healthy and a heart with a cross through it above pictures of food which is
unhealthy. Encourage students to write labels for their food.
Listen. Explain to students that when s comes at the end of a word the letters are doubled to ss but the sound
is the same. Have students open their books. Play the audio a couple of times.
Listen, point, and say. Play the audio, pausing after each letter-sound to allow students to do the activity.
Repeat several times.
Listen and blend the sounds. Before turning to the book, do this activity as a whole group. Blend the sample
words one by one in a different order to the one in the book, by writing them up on the board. Model the
blending yourself. Now have students turn to their books and do the same blending activity in pairs. Monitor
their progress. Then play the audio for students to check.
Underline j, ss, v, and w. Read the words aloud. Have students work individually. First they should hide the
illustrations with a ruler or notebook. Once they have underlined the graphemes and read the line of words
aloud, they can reveal the illustrations. Continue with the second line. Follow-up as a whole group asking for
volunteers to read the words aloud.
Extension Build a Wall Put all the introduced letter cards on one side of the board. Then draw three bricks in a
row toward the bottom of the other side. Say a sample word e.g., jam and then sound it out, j-a-m. Ask a
student to find the j card and put it into the first brick, then a and then m. Now write the letters into the spaces
and put the cards back. Draw the next row of bricks and do the procedure again. Continue building the wall
with more CVC words until you reach the top of the board. Challenge the students to read out all the words in
the wall from top to bottom.

To review unit language with a game To find the unit's quest item
Materials Picture Cards 88-121, die and shaker, drawing paper, crayons or colored pencils
Warm-up Ask a student to come to the front of class. Divide the other students into two teams. The teams take
turns asking the chosen student questions using Do you like... ? The goal is to get the student to answer only,
Yes, I do. The team with more "yes" answers wins. The answers should be at least three words long such as
Yes, I do. Play a version of Simon Says, only this time use Waldo says. Commands can include: Waldo says, "Flap
your wings." Waldo says, "Eat cake." Waldo says, "Squeak like a mouse."(draw examples from the Student's
Book). Students have to follow the commands, but only when preceded by Waldo says. If students react to the
command when you do not start with Waldo says, they are out of the game.
Listen. Then play and draw Direct students' attention to the game board and ask questions about the pictures
on the squares. Ask, What's this? Prompt students to answer, Chocolate. Say, Look at Mrs. loom. Does she like
chocolate? Prompt students to answer, No, she doesn't like chocolate. Point to Rita. Say, What's this? (Jello.)
Does Rita like jello? (No.) Pair students. Explain the game to the class. Students use a die and move clockwise
around the game board from top left. When a student lands on a square, he/she looks at the picture and
makes a sentence about it as if he/she was the character depicted, such as Dike milk. They can draw a happy
face for like, or a sad face for don't like. Students take turns. Play the audio to model the language. Pair
students again and have them play the game with new partners.
Listen and act. Play the audio and have students listen. Play the audio again and have students do the actions
with you, pretending to be the animals. Repeat until students are confident with the sentences. Then call out
an animal name and ask students to remember the line for that animal.
Extension Match the pictures and words Hand out a selection of Picture Cards 88-121 and matching word
cards, so that each student has one word or one picture. Explain to students that they need to find the
matching picture or word to their card. When students have found their partner, ask them to line up. Ask each
pair to present heir word and picture. Then shuffle and redistribute the cards and play again.
Listen and circle. C:24 Have students look at the pictures. Ask students to identify the food in each picture.
Point and ask, What's this? (Tea.) Show students the smiley face. Say, I like tea. Show students the sad face.
Say, I don't like tea. Point at each of the foods in turn. Elicit the name of the food from students, then point at
either a sad or happy face to elicit like or don't like. Have students to listen to the audio and point at the food
they hear and the happy or sad face. Play the audio again for students to circle the answers. Pause the audio as
necessary to give students sufficient time. Pair students. Have them ask and answer about the pictures they
circled. Check the answers as a class.
Draw and write. Ask students to write sentences about their own likes and dislikes using the guides. Do a few
examples with them. Draw a happy face. Write Dike fruit. on the board. Then draw a sad face beneath. Write I
don't like bread. Ask students in pairs to read their sentences to each other. Make a tally of how many students
liked (e.g. vegetables) and count the number. Ask students to find the matching number card.
Extension Pass, Stop and Say Sit students in a circle. Make up cards with several easily confused letters on
them. Make one card for each letter. Fold each card. Play music and distribute the cards to students around the
circle and motion them to pass the cards. Stop the music. The students holding cards open them, show them
to the class, and say the letters and words that start with the letters. Students fold up their cards. Start the
music again and have students pass the cards.
Unit wrap-up I can: Read the two statements with students and invite students to check the boxes. Say, Good
job! Then walk around the class and initial the page.
Tests: You may wish to give Unit 7 Test (see page 214) at this time. Students can now go online on Family
Island.

To listen to a conversation To identify emotions and feelings
Target language hungry, thirsty, tired, scared, excited
Materials Picture Cards 79-87; 122-126, flashlight
Warm-up Review adjectives that students know from previous units. Ask students to mime
tall/short/young/old/big/ small. Point at some pictures of characters in earlier units and ask Is he/she tall?
Listen. Teach the words hungry, thirsty, tired, scared and excited by miming (or using Picture Cards 122-126).
Mime each adjective and say the word. Students repeat the words several times. Then say the words and
students mime the emotions. Teach the word shadow and flashlight by creating a shadow with a flashlight or
light, if possible. Point to Waldo and ask students to find the shadow he's created with his flashlight. Ask
students to look at the scene in their books and listen as you play the audio. Play the audio again and have
students speak along to the audio. Ask, Who's tired? Who's hungry? Who's excited?
Listen and say. Play the audio and have students listen. Then have students say the words together as they
point to each picture. Students play a game in pairs. One student secretly chooses a character and mimes
him/her, while his/her partner has to guess which character it is, e.g., Rita. Students take turns miming and
guessing.
Listen and number. Ask students to look at the picture again. Play the audio and have students listen first. Play
the audio again. Have students number the boxes according to what they hear on the audio. Pair students and
have them compare their work with their partners. Invite pairs to give their answers to the class. Have them
point and say, e.g., He's hungry. She's scared.
Listen and chant. Review the names of the characters. Then play the recording of the chant and stop after the
first part of each line, e.g., He's hungry. Students point to the correct character, e.g., Zak in the scene. Continue
the recording to confirm the answer. He's hungry. Zak. She's thirsty. Rita. He's tired. Oscar. She's scared. Millie.
He's excited! Waldo. Divide the class into two halves and play the chant again. One half says the first half of
each line (She's thirsty) The other half calls out the name of the character (Rita).
Listen and number. Then say. Ask students to identify each character. Then point to the picture in the thought
bubbles and ask, e.g., What's this? (Food.) Have students listen to the audio. Play the audio again and have
students number the boxes. Students talk about the characters in pairs. Student A chooses a character secretly
and says, She's excited. Student B identifies the matching character by name —Rita. Students take turns
Extension Unscramble and Match Have students work in pairs and give each pair a copy of Activity Sheet 15.
Have students first unscramble the adjectives then cut out the pictures and sentences and match them up.
Have students write the correct sentences.
Lesson 38
Time 40 – 60 minutes
Lesson aims
To practice adjectives To practice actions with a song
Target language happy, sad, cold, hot, sick, hurt, angry, bored
Materials paper, colored pencils or crayons
Warm up Review parts of the body. Say, Show me your hands, feet, fingers, toes, arms. Challenge students to
remember an action associated with each of these parts of the body from previous units (clap, stamp, wiggle, click,
etc.) Write the actions on the board to help students remember. Review numbers 1-10 (or more, depending on the
number of students). Write ten or more pairs of numbers (i.e., two ls, two 2s, two 3s, etc.) on separate slips of paper.
Divide the class into two teams and give out one of each pair of numbers to a student in each team. Do this randomly.
Every student should have a number and every number should have a match somewhere in the class. Tell students
you will call out a number and the students with that number (and only that number) should race to the front of the
classroom. The first student to touch the board (with the correct number) wins a point for their team.
Listen and say. Play the audio and have students listen as they look at the vocabulary in their books. Play the audio again
and have students repeat the vocabulary. Have students work in pairs. Student A covers over four photos with coins or
slips of paper while his/her partner looks away. Then Student B has to remember which emotions are covered up.
Students switch roles.
Listen and stick. Then sing and act. Teach the new action turn around by demonstrating and asking students to copy you.
Now jump a few times and say, Jump up and down! Say the actions several times and have students do the actions and
say the words. Say, Click your fingers. and have students do the action. Say, Drink and eat. and have them mime. Ask
them to wiggle their toes. Say, Let's all lie down. and demonstrate the action. Then say, Roll over once. and demonstrate.
Add, Now Turn around. Play the song audio and have students listen. Play the audio again and ask students to find the
stickers for the spaces. Allow sufficient time for them to stick them on the correct spaces. Have students check their
answers with partners. Play the audio again and have students sing along and mime the actions.
Extension My Picture Students draw a picture of themselves displaying an emotion — happy, sad, excited, bored, etc. and
a thought bubble or picture explaining why. Have students present their pictures to the class, saying, I'm
happy/sad/excited. etc. Talk about why.
Listen and check (✓). Then ask and answer. Have students work in pairs, looking at the pictures and guessing what's
wrong. Have students read the adjective options aloud for each picture. Play the audio and have students listen. Play the
audio again and have students check the boxes. Then point and ask, Is he sick? Elicit, No, he isn't. He's angry. Do the
same with the other pictures. Have students practice asking and answering about the pictures in pairs.
Look and write. Then play. Ask students to look at the pictures. Point to Number 1 and ask, Is she excited? Elicit, Yes, she
is. Point to Number 2. Ask, Is he happy? (No.) Ask a student to make a question (Is he sad?) and answer it yourself Yes,
he is. Point to Number 3 and ask, Are you happy? Elicit, No, I'm not. Point to Number 4 and mime cold. Say, What can
you ask? Are .... (you cold). Answer, Yes, I am. Brrr. Have student write in the missing words. Ask several students to
write their answers on the board for class checking. Have students work in pairs asking and answering as they point to
individual pictures.
Extension Object Search Hide several Picture Cards (1-5, 16-22, 104-121) around the class. Then divide students into
two teams and have them find the cards. Be sure to tell students beforehand what to look for. Afterward, each team
shows their cards to the class and names each item on the card. The teams get 2 points for each object they find. They
get 5 points for each object they name correctly.
Lesson 39
Time 40 – 60 minutes
Lesson aims
To consolidate target language in a story
Additional language Phew! Oops!
Materials Picture Cards 43-49; 88-103, blocks, Activity Sheet 16
Warm-up Divide the class into two teams. Get a set of building blocks and give each team an equal number of
blocks. Ask a vocabulary or comprehension question using the Student Book or Picture Cards. The first team to
answer correctly gets to start building a tower with their blocks, one block at a time. The aim is to have the
highest tower at the end of the game. If the tower falls over during the game, the team has to build it again.
Have students sit in a circle. Assign each student the name of a food. You may start with only two kinds of
food, e.g., cake and milk. Stand in the middle of the circle and call out the name of one food. If you call out
cake, all students who are "cake" will get up and change places with one another. Once the class is familiar
with the game, take the place of one of the students. The student without a seat calls out the name of a food
and tries to take a seat as the others change places
Listen to the story. Look at the story and talk about the characters and where they are. Ask some questions
about the pictures. Point and ask, Who's this? (Waldo.) What color is he? (Green.) Ask, Where is Waldo now?
(In the forest.) Point to the dragon at the end of the story. Ask, Who's this? (Waldo's mom.) Ask students to
briefly tell you what they think happens in the story. Play the audio and have students listen to the story as
they follow along in their books. Point to each of the story frames one by one and ask students how Waldo is
feeling in each. Point to the first frame and ask, Is he sad? (No, he's happy.) Now say sentences about Waldo
and how he is feeling and students say the number of the relevant frame. Say, Waldo's scared. Elicit, Number
4.
Extension Picture Tic-Tac-Toe Put students into two teams. Place nine Picture Cards (43-49, 88-103) face down
on a table in the form of a Tic-Tac-Toe board (a 3x3 grid). The teams take turns turning over a card and naming
the picture. If students are correct, the card remains face up. If not, the card is turned face down again. The
first team to identify three cards in a row wins.
Puzzle Put students in pairs. Prepare sufficient copies of Activity Sheet 16 for each pair to have one copy. Then
cut out the picture of the six children. Then cut them up into 4 pieces (do this by drawing 1 vertical and 1
horizontal pencil lines across the sheet before cutting out). Give each pair of students a set of puzzle pieces
and ask them to assemble the 6 puzzles. Once the puzzles are assembled they should make a sentence about
each child, e.g., He's hot. To make this activity easier, color the Activity Sheet first and then make color
photocopies of the puzzle for students.
Look and circle. Point to each picture of Waldo and ask, Is he (tired)? (yes/no) Elicit the emotion Waldo is
feeling in each picture. Play the audio and have students number the boxes accordingly. Check students'
answers.
Role-play the story. Divide students into groups, making sure there are the same number of students in each
group as there are characters in the story. Give each group a set of Story Cards and have students place them
in order. Divide the class into four groups – one group tells the story, one group plays Waldo, one group plays
big dragon and the last group plays Waldo's mom. Play the audio while students act it out, or say the lines and
students repeat. Rotate the identity of the groups so students have a chance to speak/mime each part. Divide
students into small groups of three. Each student should mime and speak his/her part (Waldo, Waldo's mom,
Big Dragon). Encourage students to say the lines from memory using prompts. Then invite groups to come and
role-play the story in front of the class.
Look and write. Read the values, Respect feelings. Help others. Ask students to look at the pictures. Point and
ask, Are you happy? (No.) Are you scared? (No.) Are you sad? (Yes.) Point and ask about Number 2 in the same
way. Ask students what is happening in Number 3. The girl is offering to help the boy with his work. Teach the
question, Can I help you? (write it on the board). Then have students fill in the missing words in their books.
Divide the class into two groups. Have the first group say the line in the Student Book and the second group
follow up with Can I help you? (for Numbers 1 and 2). For Number 3 have them say, Yes, please. as a follow-up
answer. Discuss ways in which students can help others and respect each others' feelings.
Extension Role-play Ask students in small groups to perform a short role-play of a situation where they can
help others. They can use the language from the Student Book in Activity 13 or supply their own adjectives.
Stick the adjectives up on the board as reference. Walk round the class monitoring and offering help with
language where necessary. Have groups perform to the class.

To integrate cross-curricular content (science) into English class To develop cross-curricular content through a
short project
Additional language Look at my shadow. It's a long/short shadow.
Materials Flashlight, paper, pencils, card
Warm-up Review animals. Put some scrambled animal names on the board and ask students to spell them out
correctly. Have students sit in a circle. The first student says, e.g., I'm sad. The second student says, He's/She's
sad. I'm happy. The third student says, He's/She's sad. He's/She's happy. I'm scared. etc. Students continue to
say sentences without pausing. Those who pause too long are out. If the game is played in teams, the team
loses.
Listen and number. Introduce the theme of shadows, if possible within the classroom, by asking a student to
stand with the sun behind him/her (or another light source, e.g., a flashlight or a lamp), so that a shadow is
formed. Remind students of the word shadow and talk about how shadows are formed when an object blocks
the light. If it's not possible to see shadows within the classroom, look at examples of shadows in the Student's
Book. Play the audio. Students listen and point to the photo described. Play the audio again pausing after each
line and have students repeat. Play the audio again. Ask students to listen and number the boxes.
Match. Ask students to identify each of the pictures on the left side of the page (a violin, a book, a flower, an
apple). Students match each of the items to its shadow on the right side of the page. Ask, What's this? Is it
(big)?
Extension Students make shadow puppets. Prepare a few templates of animals or people using sturdy card or
cardboard. Give each student a piece of sturdy card or cardboard. Students trace around your template and
cut out their own puppets. Students attach a rod or straw to the back of their puppets. Students hold their
puppets in front of a light source to cast a shadow on a wall or flat surface. Students can create simple
dialogues to use with their puppets, e.g., Hello, I'm (Aisha). Hello, I'm (Tom). etc.
Mini-project: Have students work in groups to make a shadow puzzle album. They can draw around each
other's shadows or the shadows of classroom objects to make shadow drawings. They will need a light source,
e.g., a flashlight and a piece of paper. Students then position a pencil in front of the light source and draw
around its shadow on a piece of paper. They can experiment with different positions and see what happens
when the light source is moved nearer/further from the object (shadow gets bigger or smaller). Have each
group draw four shadow puzzles. Then display them in the class and talk about them. Students practice saying,
It's big/ small. It's a (big) (eraser). etc.
Listen. explain to students that q and u are best friends and always stick together to make the qu sound, and
when z comes at the end of a word the letters are doubled to zz but the sound is the same.
Listen, point, and say. Play the audio, pausing after each letter-sound to allow students to do the activity.
Repeat several times.
Listen and blend the sounds. Stay silent. Show the group the first letter card for a CVC word (e.g., quick) and
elicit the phoneme qu. (These are in fact two phonemes, but for simplicity, they are treated as one here. The
same applies to x.) Place it on the board. Now repeat this for i and for ck. Now tap your finger under each card
to prompt students to blend the letter-sounds. Finally, elicit the word and then look delighted when they get it.
Now repeat with the rest of the words. Note that taxi is the only CVCV word in Level 1.Underline qu, x, y, z, and
zz. Read the words aloud. Have students work individually. First, they should hide the illustrations with a ruler
or notebook. Once they have underlined the graphemes and read the words aloud, they can reveal the
illustrations. Continue with the second line.
Extension Relay Race Play a game to practice spelling the sample words. Put the group into two teams and
have them form two lines at the back of the class. Call out a word, e.g., mess. The first students in each line
must race to the board and write the first grapheme, m, then race back and hand the pen to the next students
and go to the back of the line. The next students must race to write e and then the next students to write ss.
The team to write the word first is the winner. Continue with the rest of the words.

To review unit language with a game
Materials Picture Cards 122-134, bag or small box with die, drawing paper, crayons or colored pencils
Warm-up Display a selection of Picture Cards (e.g. Parts of the Body, Numbers, Food). Tell students to look
closely and try to remember what they see. Ask them to turn around so that they cannot see the cards. Take
one card away. Tell students to look and tell you the missing item. Allow students to act out the item if they
can't remember the name. To increase the difficulty, take away two cards. This can be a team game. Make a
sticky ball with crumbled-up paper and double-sided tape. Display Picture Cards 122-134. Ask a student to
come to the front of the room and take the ball. Say one of the words and tell the student to throw the ball at
the correct picture. Repeat with other students.
Listen. Then play Explain how to play the game in pairs. Students throw a die and move a counter (or coin)
around the board. If students land on a standard square, they make a sentence about the character in that
square, e.g., It's Rita. or He's scared. Each time a player makes a correct sentence he/she puts a check in the
check box. If students land on a corner square, they go to the matching card in the middle of the board try to
name all the items in the picture within 30 seconds. The aim of the game is for students to check off all 12
main squares on the board. The winner is the player with the most checks in their color. Each time a student
lands on a corner square he/she needs to do the recycling challenge, but he/she does not need to name an
item on a standard square if it is already checked off by his/her partner. Play the audio to give students an idea
of the language they will need to play the game.
Listen and act. Play the audio and have students listen. You're excited! YA Y! YA Y! Now you're sad. BOO HOD!
You're thirsty. PANT! PANT! Now you're cold. BRR! BRR! You're hurt. OW! OW! Now you're tired. YAWN! YAWN!
You're bored. HO! HUM! Now you're hungry. YUM! YUM! Play the audio again and have students mime the
actions with you. Challenge individual students to be the leader and call out the actions for the rest of the
class, in any order they wish.
Extension Touch It Relay Place various Picture Cards along the board. Have students line up in rows and face
the front. Go to the back of the room. Ask the last student in each row to turn to you. Silently say the name of
one of the Picture Cards (or show photocopies of the Picture Cards). Have each student whisper the name to
the student in front of him or her. The last student runs to the board and taps the correct card. That student
then runs to the back. Repeat.
Listen and check (✓). Then write. Have students look at the pictures. Point and ask, Is she scared? (No, she's
thirsty.) Is she bored? (No, she's hungry.) Check that students can correctly identify the emotions/feelings in
each picture. Have students listen to the audio and point to the picture. Play the audio again for students to
check the boxes. Check the answers and then have students fill in the missing words.
Extension Secret Picture Take a Picture Card and piece of paper. Using the paper, cover up the card so that only
a small part of the picture is showing. Ask students to guess what the picture is. If students find it hard to guess
the picture, show a little more until they are finally able to guess.
Unit wrap-up I can: Read the two statements with students and invite students to check the boxes. Say, Good
job! Then walk around the class and initial the page.
Tests: You may wish to give Unit 8 Test (see page 217) at this time. Students can now go online on Family
Island.
