A. EXPLORATION

Let’s play a game called 4 pics 1

1. Motivation word.
Are you familiar with this game class? “Yes/No, teacher”

Okay, that’s good! This game is a

word puzzle game wherein you are
going to guess the word out of the four
pictures I will be showing.

Let’s begin the game.

So, I have here a set of pictures:

water, food, house, air.

What do you think is the right word

that relates to these things I have
mentioned?

The one who could guess the correct

word will receive a chocolate after our
class. *Raise their hands
2. Presentation Alright! The word that we are looking
is “needs.” These pictures show the
needs of humans, animals, and
plants, which will be our topic for this
morning.

Now, I want you to watch and observe

3. Pre-Activity the video that I am going to play.

While you are watching, take down

notes of important needs you’ll see in
the video.

Later on, I will group you into 4 groups

and each group will assign a reporter
to share your learnings about the
video.”

Did you get it class? Yes, teacher.

Great! Let’s watch this. *The students watch

the video.

*Start the groupings

4. Activity Proper Now, each group will list all the basic
needs of humans, animals and plants
you have seen from the video.

BASIC NEEDS OF

HUMAN ANIMALS PLANTS

B. EXPLAIN

1. Group reporting I will give each group 5 minutes to

present what you have gathered with *Each group will
your group. report

Great! Your works are correct.

2. Discussion The basic needs to live:

Water- is the most essential element

of life. Our bodies is made up of 70%
water, that’s why it is so important to
stay dehydrated.

Air- Without oxygen, humans and

animals will die. Without Carbon
Dioxide, plants won’t survive.

Shelter- Provide protection from

predators or harsh elements.

Food- Give us energy to function

Apart from that, humans and animals,

sunlight to warm their self. Plants
cannot make their own food without
sunlight and without plants, we have
nothing to eat.

We also need some clothes to cover

our body or for us to protect our body
from bad weather.

So, these are some important things

that we need in order to survive.
Without it, we will definitely die.

C. ELABORATION
All right!
1. Generalization To sum it up, again what are the 4
basic needs of living things? Food, water, air,
shelter

Very good! Aside from those things Sunlight, Clothes

you have mentioned, what else?

That’s right. So again, why are these It helps us to survive.

things important to us? To gain energy.
For our protection.
You are all right, very good!

I could see that you have really

understood our lesson for this
afternoon.

2. Application This time, I want you to meet your

group again for we will play another *Meet their group
game.
This game is called “I need it, provide
it.” Basically, this game is about
providing what I am asking based on
the statement or scenario I will be
sharing to you later on. So with your
group, you have to gather ideas and
write the right thing that you should
provide based on what is being
asked in the statement. I will give
each group a piece of chalk and a
small cardboard where you will be
writing your answers. Understood?
Yes, teacher.
Okay, that’s good!

So let’s have this example.

-The dog is barking too loud because

he is hungry, what does the dog
need?

What do you think is the answer Food/Water,

class? teacher.

Correct! So that’s how the game

works. You just have to write your
answer in the card board and after 5
seconds, all group should raise their
answers, otherwise, your group will
not earn a point. The group who will
accumulate the highest points will
receive a price after the class. So I
have prepared here 11
statements/scenarios.

Shall we start now?

Yes, teacher!
Alright! Let the game begin.
