Talk about each frame in turn with the class Ask simple questions, e.g., Who’s this? What’s this? Is it a pencil?
Ask children to look at the poster while you play the recording (Track 12) for them to listen Point to each speech bubble, one at a time, as you hear the text
Play the recording again for children to listen and point to the pictures

Development
Slap
Divide the class into pairs Give each pair a set of the student picture cards and place them face up on the desk
Call out a word, e.g., pen The first child in each group who slaps the correct card and says the word takes it
Repeat with a different word
Continue calling out the words in a random order until you have said each of the four words three times
The child in each pair holding the most cards is the winner
If a number of groups have a tie, play again
Vocabulary Lists
Divide the class into small groups
One child from each group takes a vocabulary card and reads and mimes the word to the rest of their group The group responds by saying the word
Groups score one point for each word they guess
Play the music and continue in this way until several children have had a turn
Note: If you put a pencil in the bag, make sure the tip of it is not sharp

Play a game of What do I have to review vocabulary from the previous lesson

Ask What do I have? and ask students to guess
When the card has been guessed correctly, put it on the board
Hold up a second card and repeat the procedure
Continue until all the cards are on the board
Variation: To make the game more exciting, limit children to three guesses If they name the card within three
guesses, the class wins the card If they don’t, the teacher wins the card Put the cards the class has won and the cards the teacher has won on opposite sides of the board At the end of the game add up the points with the class
Lead-in

Point to each of the flashcards one at a time and ask the class What’s this? to elicit It’s a pen, etc
Ask children which word is missing (It’s) Write It’s in the blank at the beginning of the first sentence
Invite different children to come to the front of the class to do the same with the other sentences
Ask children to look at the sentences in their Student Books Ask one child to read the example sentence for the class
