 Procedure
1. Flash cards  Print the playground flashcards. Hold up the swings picture and say I like playing on the swings. Do you like
(10 min) the swings? Tell the ss to put up their hand if the answer is YES. Do the same with the other picture cards.
Now ask the ss to listen and repeat the playground words after you as you show them the cards. Spread out the
picture and word cards face up on the floor. Ask for volunteers to match the pictures with the correct words.
Now pull all the picture and word cards face down on the floor. Invite ss to choose two cards. Can they find
matching pairs?
2. Song  Ask the children to tell you playground activities in English and write them on the board. Play the song and
( 10-15 minutes) ask ss to stand up each time they hear one of the activities on the board. Play the song again- this time
children follow the words and join in with just the last words of each line. Play the song again and encourage
them to sing along.
3. Story  Play the first section of the story to the class. Pause and ask the children about what they can see on the
( 10-15 minutes) screen, e.g.Where are they? Is this a cat? Who is this? Click on the next button to play a little more of the
story and stop when they reach the park. Now ask the class what they can see in the park. Ask for hands up to
give answers. Play the rest of the story. Did the children like the story? Ask them if the dog was happy? Why?/
Why not? An optional activity worksheet can be used.
4. Games  Choose an easy game or a more difficult one, depending on the level of the class. Ss take turns to answer a
(5-10 minutes) question each. Ask for volunteers.
5. Speaking  Ask the ss to tell activities they do in the playground/park/at home. Write the activities on the board. Ask
( 5-10 minutes) individual students Do you like….? Encourage them to answer YES, I DO/ NO, I DO NOT. Drill questions and
answers the same questions in pairs, using the prompts on the board. Get 2 stronger ss to demonstrate this first
to the class. Walk around the class, listen, help if necessary and praise your ss.
6. Writing  Homework setting: Children have to write a 15 lines essay about their free time activities. Their writings will
(5-15 minutes) be collected and displayed in the classroom.
