INTRODUCTION



(Weather Report: Weather songs or chants (“What’s the weather like today?”- the song downloaded from YouTube)
- Teacher asks three questions:
* What’s the day today?
* What’s the month?
* What’s the weather like today?
- Teacher answers each question and asks students to repeat, then writes the date and draws the weather symbol on the board. ( You do not need to ask the students to repeat fluently because they will answer these questions every English lesson)
(Warm up and review: sing the “Hello” song
( Freeze game
- Ask students to stand up.
- Give a series of instructions, e.g. wave, run, jump. Students mime the actions.
- When you say Freeze!, the students must stop what they are doing and stand still.
- The students who are the slowest to stop are out and have to sit down.
- Continue the game until there is one winner left standing or a group of winners if you prefer.
(Lesson presentation:
( Introduce new vocabulary
- Set a meaningful context to introduce new vocabulary ( Everyone. Let’s go to the garden. Imagine! We are in the garden now. What can you see in the garden?).
- Give a chance to students to think and guess.
- Lead students to the colour of the flowers.
- Use the flower cards with five colours to introduce red, green, blue, black and white.
- Play the recording track 14 for students to listen and point to the pictures in their Class book p. 10, then listen and repeat after the recording.
- Students practice chorally and individually.


( Word chain
- Place five coloured word cards on the board in a given sequence, e.g. red, black, green, blue, white, one, two.
- First, point to a student. He/ She says the first word in the sequence, e.g. red.
- Next, point to another student. He/ She says the next word in the sequence, e.g. black.
- Continue with each student saying the next word in the sequence, returning to the beginning when necessary.
* Optional activity: Remove one flashcard. The class repeats the sequence, including the missing word. Remove one more flashcard each time, until students can say the whole sequence from their memory.
( Vanishing Flashcards Game
- Place a number of flashcards in front of the students. 
- Give them a moment to memorize the pictures and then tell them to close their eyes. 
- Take away one of the flashcards and then tell the students to open their eyes again. 
- The first student who guesses the missing flashcard correctly can win that flashcard (for 1 point) and takes away another flashcard in the next round.




DEVELOPMENT



( Listen and chant
- Play the recording track 15 for students to listen and chant.
- Play the chant the second time for students to say the words. Demonstrate actions for each line of the chant (hold up a crayon with the correct colour). After finishing line 1, clap your hands three times. After line 2, stamp your foot three times. After line 3, tap the desks three times.
- Practice the chant with 3 groups. Each group chants a line and does the appropriate action.
( Point and say. Stick the stickers
- Have students open their Class book p. 10.
- Ask students to identify the characters in the picture.
- Point to the coloured bricks and ask students to say the colours.
