What's your favourite sport?
Elementary (Year 3) Lesson 5
Teacher’s notes and lesson plan
The aim of the lesson is to get kids proficient in the form “My/his/her/their favourite xxx is xxx,” here starting with sports vocab. Like Plato says, when teaching anything to kids, make learning as close to play as possible. Make everything a game, a race, any kind of competition and things will go well with kids of this age (8 and 9 years old).
Phonics (for non-readers) Reading (the likes of Oxford Kipper books etc)
Warm up (Missing cards/3 hint quiz)
Flash Cards— model the vocab
Relay (split students into two teams, get them to pass the flashcards to the next student in the line repeating the vocab. Fastest team wins)
Paper, Scissors Rock game with the flashcards or real objects in the classroom
Worksheet (get students to write the correct answers using the pictures as hints)
Stamp Rally/Spot the difference - the aim here is to expand “My favourite sport” to “My favourite food/game/music/colour, etc… is”
