Teacher Guide
This is a vocabulary check presented as a cute riddle. Tell them that 2 of the options below won't be used.
It can be helpful to do a quick review of 'have got' and 'can' by giving some examples before starting such as 'I have got a blue t-shirt?' 'I can jump' etc.
After they've tried to match the words from below into the gaps, have them read it out loud and check that it makes sense. Check that they've understood each word. Cover up the labels and see if they can name the objects in the pictures. Have they put them in a logical place or just guessed?
For more advanced students, ask them follow up questions such as 'Do you like birds?', 'What do birds use to fly?' and 'Where do birds lay eggs?'.
