LESSON PLAN – GETTING TO KNOW YOU

You need: a puppet (Cookie or one from another book) or just a toilet roll with a face !!

A soft ball or bean bag

Portrait worksheet

Coloured pencils

A story book with lots of characters.

As the children come into the class have Hello song “Simple Songs” playing

Sit the children on the floor in a circle.

2. Introduce yourself - Hello, I’m ……

3. The puppet introduces itself. Hello, I’m ………

4. The children introduce themselves, one by one.

5. The Hello Song ESL Super Simple Songs (Youtube)

6. Introduce yourself again Hello, I’m….. and say

Hello…(+name) to one of the students and throw the

ball/bean bag to them. They continue by doing the same,

introducing themselves, throwing the ball (VERY gently!!)

and saying Hello to another student etc..etc.

7. Give the children a blank A4 with I’m …… printed on the bottom (or photocopy the attached )and ask them to

draw a picture of themselves. Encourage them to fill the page

and not do tiny little drawings. This is a good time to test to

see what colours they know, as they are drawing.

8. Students write their names, or you do it if they can’t, on

their drawings, after I’m ...

9. Show the story to the children and introduce all of the characters. The children say hello to all of the characters in turn. Then you can read the story!

10. If there is still time, play the “Guess who” game – one student covers his/her eyes and another student says Hello

The first student has to guess who spoke.

Orange and purple and blue,

I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow

· Bingo : Use the bingo photocopy. Get students to colour in two squares for each colour, (or one square if they know enough colours) by dictating. Then let them choose the colours for the last four squares. Play Bingo.

· Use the cut out Hello/Apple photocopy, cut out a hole where the dotted line is, put your finger through, draw a face on tip of finger and Voila! You have a talking worm !

CHANT FOR CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
