The document provides details of two lesson plans for an English class taught to 5-year-olds. The lessons focus on teaching vocabulary related to toys. In the warm-up, students sing songs and recite poems. Lesson one introduces new toy vocabulary through flashcards and activities like matching toys to pictures. Lesson two reviews toy vocabulary with flashcards and a coloring activity, then plays a game of Simon Says using the flashcards. Both lessons close with a goodbye song.

LESSON PLAN 7: My Toys
DATE: September the 7th 2015
NAMES: Cielo Sampietro & Gala Tamagni
CLASS: Salita verde 5 años
LENGTH OF LESSON: 1 hour (13:15 to 14:15)

MATERIALS: Flashcards, Coursebook and Photocopies.
CLASS DESCRIPTION:
• There are 31 students in this group, all between 5 and 6 years old. They have
English classes 4 times a week for an hour and most of them have been
studying English for about 2 years. As the English class is the first one they
have it is crucial to develop an active warm up; the main tool for this is the
use of songs as a daily routine in which they do not only sing and get engage
but also use their body.
AIMS:
GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURES:
• Verb to be : There is/ are/ Present Simple ----> e.g.: It is big
and purple
• Where is ----> e.g.: Where is the Robot? – It is on the
ON/IN/UNDER
• Have got/ Has got ----> e.g.: It has got small eyes
• Certain specific adjectives related to physical characteristics
( big, small, blue, red)
LEARNING AIMS:
• We expect not only introduce new vocabulary (Kite, Car, Ball, Doll, Video
Games, Teddy Bear, Robot and Bike) but also reinforce the knowledge the
children already have as regards physical descriptions (It is big, red and it
has lights), parts of the body (It has two legs) and prepositions (in, on,
under).
VOCABULARY:

• The introduction and review of vocabulary related to Toys: As regards
revision, we will work with the main words the children already know to
describe physical characteristics (shapes, colours, and numbers), they also
know the prepositions IN/ON/UNDER and main parts of the body. Plus, we
will introduce new specific vocabulary about toys: Robot, ball, bike, kite,
doll, car, teddy bear and video game/play station.
PRONUNCIATION:
• As the children do not read or completely write yet, it is extremely important
to be focused on their pronunciation. They can actually identify certain
letters and the sound of them, by repeating how the words are pronounced
they can certainly reproduce them very well. For example, they are able
identify and pronounce perfectly the word Monday as it begins with the “M
sound” and they can do that with almost any word.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
• We expect the children to understand, identify and pronounce the new
vocabulary, recognize and name the toys, find similarities and differences
between them. Also we expect to reinforce their vocabulary related to
shapes, colours, numbers and prepositions. The children already recognize
main parts of the body, through the use of descriptions and games we expect
them to reinforce that knowledge.
ANTICIPATED PROBLEMS:
• Usually most of the children get easily distracted and the main reason is that
they really love chatting. When a little group starts to talk it makes the other
students lose their attention or sometimes get bored/sleepy.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:

• It is really important to keep the children active, entertained and motivated
i.e. make them ALL participate in the activities in order to avoid boredom or
distraction.
• It is also fundamental to identify which students usually cause distraction
(talk, bother their partners) and ask them to change places (sit somewhere
else).
• PROCEDURES:
STAGE 1: WARM UP STAGE
DESCRIPTION:
• At the beginning of the class the children are asked to form and sit in a circle
in order to follow the daily routine of singing song and reciting poems to: say
“Hello”, The Weather, Days of the Week, Feelings and Prayers to God.
Usually when the class is on Monday the students are asked to talk about
their weekend. This stage takes around 20 minutes.
“Are you ready to say Hello? Hello to everyone, and How are you Today? We come to
our circle time to laugh and sing and play.
And you are up you are up
And when you are down you are down
And when you re only half way up you are neither up nor down
Now roll your hands so slowly and roll them all so fast
Give our hands a clap clap clap and put it on your lap tap tap”

one by one, ask the children to repeat the words and also, in parallel, ask
them about their colour, size (small, big, tall, fat) and figures (circle, square,
rectangle), number of legs (in they have any) etc. Timing: 15 minutes.
Second activity:
• We will listen to a song related to toys from their course book “Kid’s box
Starter Class Book, Cambridge English (YLE)). After we listen to it and sing it
all together, we will ask the children to do a “Listen and point” activity and a
“listen and colour plus listen and match activity” (Before doing these
activities we will ask the children to sit at the tables). Timing: 20 minutes.
Third activity:
• Finally, if we have time, we will ask them to find 4 toys in abstract drawings.
We will not only ask the children to name them, but also colour the toys that
they find in the photocopy. Timing: 20 minutes.
• Find the Toys and colour them.

CLOSSING THE LESSON:
• Usually when every lesson is finished, the students sing the Goodbye song
and wait until the next teacher comes. We will sing with them this song:
“This is the way we say Goodbye, we say Goodbye, We Goodbye
This is the way we say Goodbye, we say Goodbye to you
And you and you and you”
