I Introduction

1 Greeting The «Hello» song ~ 2 min

2 The topic and the objectives of the lesson. ~1 min

The topic of our today’s lesson is ‘My birthday’. We’re going to recollect the memories of your last birthday and share them with everybody. So, we’re going to sing and talk using the grammar of the topic ‘Simple Past of the verbs’. You’re going to do small research work on the topic. At the end of the lesson, you’ll give marks to your classmates and appreciate their work during the lesson.

3 Warmer “Cross the river” Group work ~3 min

           Draw a river on the board with two sets of four stepping stones across the river (if you like drawing you may add dangers like crocodiles, sharks, snakes in the river, etc.). Write team A and Team B underneath the two sets of stepping stones. Divide the class into 2 groups. Tell children the rules- you are going to show each team different flashcards, and they must guess the words correctly to move across the river. Show one team a flashcard, choose one child in that team to give the answer, he/she may consult friends and then should give the answer. If the child answers correctly, write the word on this team’s stepping stone, if the answer is incorrect, ask another team to tell you the word and write the word on this team’s stepping stone. The first team to complete the four stepping stones with words crosses the river and wins.
