Teacher Guide
After reviewing / preteaching simple action words with the students, help them to identify which of the words in the picture are verbs. For less advanced students, have them first colour the shapes that contain a number, using the key below. Then they can repeat out loud the remaining words, and act them out to emphasise that these verbs are action words. They should colour those sections with their favourite colour.
10mins: Introduction - Beginner questions: What's your name, age, and where are you from? Have you got any brothers or sisters? Ask questions to each student in a circle. When a student has answered the question, they must ask the next person in the circle the same question.
10mins: Review: Days of the week and 'before' and 'after'. Ask some example questions to the class such as 'what day is before Monday, what day is after Thursday etc.' Then, split the students into two teams. The first student from each team comes to the front of the classroom. The teacher asks a question about the days of the week using 'before' 'after' and 'between'. Award one point to the team that answers first. Play until each student has a chance to answer.
10mins: Pre-teach: Verbs - 'Listen and repeat' do an action and say what verb it is, then point to a student. The student should say and do the action, then point to another student. After every student has repeated, move on to the next verb.
05mins: Review colour - hold up different coloured markers and ask student what colour is is. Ask every student what their favourite colour is. Help them write it on their workbook page.
15mins: Worksheet: 08 verb colouring - finish for homework
05mins: Activity: Verb charades - each student acts out a different verb. The other students must guess what verb it is.
05mins: Warm Down: Goodbye + points
The verb segments form a spaceship and sun shape and should all be coloured with the student's favourite colour. The other segments should be coloured according to the key provided.
