Animals Lesson Plan

1) Watch the video and do the while watching tasks.

Students need to guess what animal has been described to them.

2) Zoo Game
This is a fun activity for young learners on the topic of animal noises.  After teaching the animals
and their noises, sit each student in a different part of the classroom and assign them as different
animals (to make it clearer you can give each student a flashcard of the animal they are
representing).  Walk around the room and talk to each student, who can only reply as an animal. 
E.g. Teacher: "Hello Yumi", S1:"Moo! (cow).  Teacher: "What's your name?" S2: "Roar!"
(lion).  Teacher: "How are you, Kenta?" S3: "Hissssss!" (snake).
3) The Hot Potato Game
The way it works is that students pass an object of some kind around the classroom. When the
timer or music stops, the person holding the object has to do something.
In this case, you may want to hold up a flashcard with an animal on it. Beginners may have to
say the name of the animal, while more advanced students could say three facts about it. For
example (horse):
It has three legs
You can find it in the wild or on farms
Horses are many different colors
4) A-Z Alphabet Game
If you know that students already know a fair amount of animal vocabulary, then you may want
to consider using this game as a warmer. The way it works is that students have to try to think of
one animal per letter of the alphabet in a certain amount of time. Most students won’t complete
the activity but the group with the most animals is the winner.
5) Continue your lesson with the interactive exercises (check the link). Use e-board for
demonstration and ask students to come to the board and answer the questions one by one

Recommendations:
Ask them not to use any Russian expressions during the lesson, you are forbidden to use Russian
with kids too (only rarely)
Control the discipline (do not shout or touch the kids), but think of so-called «punishments», e.g.
who behaves badly can do squats in front of the class or will stand during all the lesson and so
on.
Think of motivation for them, for example, you can ask the assistants whether they have stickers
(наклейки с оценками) for kids.
