Teaching and Learning Activities

5.1 What are they doing?

1. Teacher shows a picture of the hopscotch game.
2. Teacher draws pupils’ attention towards the picture.

Instruction
“Pupils, Please look at the picture in front.”

3. Teacher asks pupils what can they see in the picture and what is the name of the game.
Teacher gives the correct answer and asks pupils related questions regarding the hopscotch
game.

Instructions
“What can you see in the picture?”
“What is the name of this game?”
“Do you know how to play hopscotch?”
“Do you play it often?”
“Who do you play it with?”

Managing Mistakes and Errors

 If pupils give the wrong answer, the teacher will give the correct the answer.
E.g. P: It’s a jumping game.
T: Yes, he is jumping. The game is called hopscotch.

4. Teacher continues the same steps for every lexical item.

5.2 Hangman
1. Teacher shows a picture of a football game on the board. Ask the pupils the name of the
game.
2. Teacher draws 8 blanks on the board for the letters. Teacher asks the pupils to say out letters
to fill in the blanks to spell the word ‘football’.

Instruction
“How do you spell ‘football’?”
“Can someone say out a letter to spell the word ‘football’.”
“Can someone else say out another letter to spell the word ‘football’?”

Managing Mistakes and Errors

Whenever a pupil says out a wrong letter, the teacher says “Oh-owh / Ting tong”.

Reward System
Whenever a pupil says out a correct letter, write the pupil’s name at a corner of the whiteboard
and draw a star beside the name. If the same pupil says out another correct letter, draw
another star beside his/her name.

3. Repeat the same steps with every lexical item.

5.3 Having Fun Chant

1. Teacher says what she likes to do with a happy expression a few times. Teacher turns to a
pupil and asks what does he/she like to do? The pupil answers using the same sentence
structure that the teacher used earlier. Teacher asks the same questions to some other pupils.
To make it easier for the pupils, write the sentences on the board.

Instructions
“I like singing” (3X)
“What do you like to do?”

Managing Mistakes and Errors

If the pupils are having problem answering, teacher has to repeat the step slowly and clearly
until the pupil gets the idea of how the activity goes.

2. Teacher does the same step but this time by repeating the last word of the sentence three
times and saying the sentences based on a certain rhythm. The sentences will be written on
the board.

Instructions
“I like singing. Singing, singing, singing!”
“What do you like to do?”

3. After all the pupils get the idea of how the chant goes, teacher pairs the pupils up and the
pupils have to decide who should be pupil A and pupil B.
 Instructions
“I want you to find a partner and sit facing each other.”
“Now, one of you will be A and the other one will be B. Please decide now.”

4. Teacher asks pupils A to chant the question and pupils B to chant the answer. The pupils
exchange their lines after that. E.g

Instructions
“I want all pupils A to ask the question and all pupils B to answer the question.”
“Then, I want you to exchange your lines. For example;
Pupil A : What do you like to do?
Pupil B : I like playing chess. Chess, chess, chess!
What do you like to do?
Pupil A : I like reading. Reading, reading, reading!

Note: The chant will be written on the board.

5. After all the pupils manage to recite the chant, teacher asks pupils to repeat the same chant
but this time by replacing the word ‘love’ or ‘enjoy’.

Instruction
“Now, I would like you to recite the chant again but this time, you replace the ‘like’ with the
word ‘love’ or ‘enjoy’. For example,;
‘I love playing chess. Chess, chess, chess!’ or
‘I enjoy playing chess. Chess, chess, chess!’

Note: The chant will be written on the board.

6. Teacher asks the pupils to repeat the same chant and this time, asking their partner what one
of their family members like to do.

Instructions
“Now, I would like you to recite the chant again but this time, you ask you partner what one of
his/her family members like to do. For example;
Pupil A: What does your father like to do?
Pupil B: He loves playing football. Football, football, football!
What does your sister like to do?
Pupil A: She enjoys singing. Singing, singing, singing!

Note: The chant will be written on the board.

Managing Mistakes and Errors

This step will be challenging for some pupils. The teacher can first demonstrate this step with
a pupil a few times in front of the class before letting the other pupils attempt it on their own.
Then, the teacher can call out a pair of pupils who manage to do it well and ask them to
demonstrate it in front of the class. The teacher must also go around the class to observe each
pair and guide pupils who face difficulties in completing this step of the task.
