2 Let's Warm Up with Some Lead-in Activities!

Lead-in activities:
1 Ask the students to work in pairs and discuss the following question: "Have you ever seen
a street performance or circus show? What did you enjoy about it?" After a few minutes,
have the pairs share their answers with the class. Encourage the students to use
descriptive language and express their opinions.
2 Divide the students into small groups and give each group a set of juggling balls (or any
other small objects like bean bags or soft toys). Instruct them to take turns and try
juggling the balls for one minute. After the practice session, ask each group to choose
one representative to demonstrate their juggling skills to the class. This activity will not
only engage the students physically but also encourage them to use English to
communicate their experiences and observations.
3 Provide the students with a list of questions related to the interview with Sarah. Ask them
to work individually and write down their answers based on the information provided in
the interview. After a few minutes, collect the answers and randomly select students to
read their responses aloud. This activity will help the students practice reading
comprehension and provide them with an opportunity to share their understanding of the
interview in English.
