Summary: One day, a big yellow train is carrying lots of toys to some children over a high mountain. Suddenly,
the train stops and it can’t move. A big shiny train appears. The yellow train asks for help, but the big train cannot
help as it has its own freight to carry. A rusty old train then appears but again it can’t help. Then a small blue train
appears and volunteers to help. The blue train, although little, is so determined to succeed that it manages to carry
the yellow train and the toys over the high mountain!
Appoint one of the pupils to be the ‘engine’. Give him/her the vocabulary cards which act as ‘tickets’. Then he/she
circulates and stops at the rest of the pupils, one at a time. In order for the pupils to ‘get on board’ they have to name
the vocabulary items.

Now I can (5 min): Students list what they can do after the 45 min class.
 Reinforce the vocabulary.
