Teacher Guide
This is a vocabulary check presented as a cute riddle. Tell them that 2 of the options below won't be used. Have them draw a simple sketch for each of the words provided in the box and check that they've understood each word correctly.
It can be helpful to do a quick review of verbs such as 'drive, stop, talk, live, have lessons, get food, walk'.
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. Have they put them in a logical place or just guessed?
For more advanced students, ask them follow up questions such as "Are there many houses in your street?", "What do you do in your street?" and "Is your street big or small?".
