Procedure:

2. T tells the Ss that they are going to be given the pieces of a puzzle and, in groups of four, they
have to put them together to make a picture.
3. When the Ss have finished the puzzle, the T checks the correctness of the task and asks Ss to
predict the theme of the new lesson – Farm Animals.
4. T announces the topic of the new lesson ’Farm Animals’.
Procedure:
1. T introduces the vocabulary related to farm animals by playing a song on the video projector.

2. T asks Ss to name the farm animals they have just watched.
3. T shows Ss some flashcards representing farm animals and asks Ss to name them.
Procedure:
1. T shows the Ss the farm animals and asks them to recognize and count the animals.
2. T presents the singular and plural forms for the animals on display.
Procedure:
1. T gives Ss a handout representing animals. T explains the activity, emphasising the ’s’ at the end
of the word (one dog, two dogs, three dogs, etc.). Then, T explains that sheep doesn’t have an ’s’
at the end even when there is more than one (one sheep, two sheep, three sheep, etc).
2. In pairs, Ss practise counting the animals. S1 points to the pictures and S2 says how many animals
there are.
Procedure:

a song called Old MacDonald had a
farm. First, they listen to the song so

2. Then, T gives Ss a bag of animals and tells them that while they are listening to the song again
they have to choose the animals that they hear in the song and arrange them in the order they
appear in the song. In the bag there is also an ’intruder’ which they have to discover. The Ss work
in groups. When they have finished, T checks as a class.
3. T plays the song again for Ss to join in.
Procedure:
1. T asks Ss if they know / remember another song about an animal.

chocolate to the little children.
