Teacher Guide
It's time to revisit adjectives and extend the students' vocabulary. Help them to connect a suitable adjective from the word bank for each animal, in order to complete the crossword. While they colour the pictures, talk to them - review and repeat. Have them spell the words out loud and check their pronunciation of the letters.
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.
Choose a student to stand up, and ask the other students: What's his/her name? Where is he/she from? Where is he/she from? Repeat this process until every student has had a turn.
10mins: Review: 'Days of the week' - Ask each student what their favourite day of the week is, and what they do on that day.
10mins: Review: Animal words and adjectives - Guess the animal! The teacher will use adjectives to describe animals, students try to guess what animal it is, and then spell it correctly.
15mins: Worksheet: 12 animals and adjectives
