SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES
Stage 1
Show the writing of greetings and courtesy expressions. Have Ss complete the writing of greetings where one or two letters are missing.
Asks Ss to cut out the letters from magazines to form those words, and then paste them on small cardboards (15cm x 15cm). After that, have them trace the whole word
following directionality. Do choral repetition with the words.
Have Ss cut out from magazines illustrations related to greeting, farewell, and courtesy expressions (or to draw the illustrations themselves) to paste them on their cards.
Then, ask them to circle greetings in green, farewells in red and courtesy expressions in blue.
Review vocabulary related to classroom objects. Play I spy with Ss by saying I spy with my little eye something beginning that begins with W and Ss try to guess the
object (e.g. window).
Have Ss familiarize with the writing of classroom objects. Then, label the classroom pasting the names of different objects incorrectly. Ss work in teams to stick the labels
to the correct objects.
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4
Read the different greetings, farewell or courtesy expressions from your Big Book or other sources and have Ss act them out.
Organize Ss into groups. Make them create a non-verbal way to express the next greeting and farewell expressions: Hi!, Hello, Give me five!, Whats up? Whats new?,
Good morning, Good afternoon, Good night, See you tomorrow and Goodbye (encourage Ss to be original and have fun with this exercise).
Make Ss aware of the different forms to address family and friends, and other people.
Divide the group into two teams, boys and girls. Tell them they are going to play a game in which they have to look for the same phrase using their greeting and courtesy
cards. Explain that a girl turns over a card and the rest of the girls find their match. If they dont find the match, its the boys turn to play. Tell them to continue until all
cards have been matched. The winner is the team with the most pairs at the end of the game
Organize Ss in pairs. Ask them to take their puppets out and act out and repeat courtesy expressions in order to create a short dialogue: Please, Thank you, May I go to
________? Can I go to ________? Nice to meet you, Youre welcome, How are you?, Fine, thank you, and Welcome.
Have Ss display the cards around the classroom and encourage them to use the cards as much as possible to communicate ideas among Ss and teacher.

Thematic Frame
Seek to promote the learning of English language through the contents of different areas, the exploration of each unit, making it possible to develop language skills in tandem to create
interest in issues that promote the imagination of students and sensitize them of the importance of issues such as the appreciation of music, painting as artistic expressions. Big Books also
awaken the student to analytical thinking so as to identify the differences between forms and colors.
Early literacy plays a fundamental part in each unit, taking into account the different learning styles and motivating children to show more self-confidence, which is key in all areas of
development.

Stage 1
Ss choose some rhyming words they know, or from the previously checked exercise. In order to illustrate them, Ss can use cutouts or drawings and then write the words
on another card. Ask Ss to keep their cards and images in folders or boxes.
Ask Ss to recognize and color in yellow the words that rhyme, and to color in green the words that do not rhyme.
Have Ss match rhymes and visuals by connecting columns with a line. They may do this on the board.
Ss match their cards to the corresponding illustrations by looking at the examples on the board. Ss can play a memory game with rhyming words on the board or the floor.
Young learners like to work around large pieces and be able to manipulate them.
Draw a Bingo Board and write words on the squares according to the rhymes; then, have one S in turn read out the words and encourage other Ss to respond with a word
that rhymes. Ss cover their words with their drawings until they finish all their words. The winner is the team that finishes first.

Ask Ss if they know what a rhyme is. Invite them to think about why rhymes are special and if they like them. Encourage Ss to say a rhyme in their own language, and
explain to Ss that rhymes are fun because they have words that sound the same.
Have Ss stamp their feet or clap their hands in time with the rhythm.
Ask Ss to predict the meaning of the words in the rhyme, you can use your books or visual aids according to the rhyme you are teaching.
Have Ss stand up every time they hear the rhyming words (for variety, they can raise their hands, arms, clap or stand up).
Write a rhyme on the board and leave some blank spaces to be completed. Have Ss work in groups and complete the words in the rhyme. Make sure they can copy all
words from the completed rhyme. If Ss are not able to write, have them trace over the letters.
Play hangman on the board with a set of rhyming words; make sure everyone in the class gets to see the blanks and number of letters missing. Add an element of
competition.
Ask Ss to put their cards in the boxes for further use. Provide paper clips or rubber bands to keep the cards in sets.

STAGES
Take a tour around your school in order to recognize the different rooms and areas in it (school yard, classroom, auditorium, teachers room, principals office, restroom,
etc.). Once in the classroom, elicit from Ss the number of rooms at home. Admit different types of houses since Ss ideas of a household may differ.
Expose Ss to cutouts of the different rooms in a house. Also expose Ss to the written form of these rooms to pre-read and match.
Show Ss pictures with furniture. Draw a house frame with different rooms on the board and ask Ss where different pieces of furniture belong to. Have several Ss come to
the front to place the cards. Then, write the words next to or under the drawings and ask Ss to match them with the pictures.
Ask Ss to draw the most common pieces of furniture in each room and label them copying from a model.
Ss can practice vocabulary for rooms, furniture or home items by playing a memory game on the board with flashcards or visuals. Ss match furniture, objects and rooms.
Another option is to ask Ss to match rooms or furniture with typical actions in these rooms, e.g. bed-sleep, kitchen-cook.
Stage 1
Stage 2
Make a model of a house following teachers instructions using a shoe box. Give clear instructions to Ss, e.g. Lets paint the front of the house in green. Now, lets draw
the windows; they are rectangles. Lets draw the door, its an oval. Divide the box into different sections with little pieces of cardboard and label the rooms with the
corresponding names. Ss place the cut outs of items on the corresponding rooms in a house model (a doll house kind of visual aids). T makes sure Ss communicate
language in a given context.
Another option is to organize Ss into teams and assign each team (or ask them to choose) a room in a house. First, they identify the type of furniture found in each. Then,
they cut the necessary images from magazines for the different rooms or areas in a house. Bring some extra images with all kinds of options for furniture and decoration
items (lamps, mirror, etc.). Make sure cutouts are of a convenient size to form a whole house with clearly defined area. Monitor as necessary and encourage Ss to use the
necessary vocabulary.
Ss are provided with the traceable vocabulary strips to be used as labels for items and rooms in their own houses. Have Ss complete the words and paste them to the
house model.
Give examples of specific activities you do in each different room in order to find out the name of it: kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc. Have Ss mime out one action and
the rest of the group guesses the action and the room, for example: you sleep in the bedroom.
Stage 3
Have Ss display their model and feel free to decorate or add any other idea. Insist on Ss deriving language out of these visual aids they have been making.
The different teams share their houses with the rest of the group. Make sure they mention the names of the rooms, some furniture and at least one action carried out in
each room.

STAGES
Stage 1
Ask Ss if they know stories about animals. Encourage them to share their ideas with the rest of the group. Since animals are very appealing to Ss at this age, it is highly
recommended to work with this type of stories.
Choose a story to be read. Encourage volunteers to comment on the characters. Leaf through the story and have children make predictions based on the scenes. Point out other
things in the picture.
Have Ss choose a scene from a traditional tale and draw their attention to people and objects in the scene. You can use visual aids to recall vocabulary for items from scenes.
While reading the story, isolate words under study and present them to Ss graphically on pieces of cardboard or on the board, so that they can identify them.
Show Ss some images from an illustrated story in which they can identify animal characters. Ask them to find and point at small/big animals. Make some questions such as How
many animals can you see? When everyone has identified the characters, count chorally in English (one, two, three, four, etc.), and have children point at them. Show the story
from the book and /or any other sources. Ask your Ss to comment on the pictures.
Show Ss some pictures about different habitats. Ask Ss to look at the illustrations to elicit animals that live in the ocean, near rivers, in the savannah and in the jungle.
Have Ss follow a Listen and draw activity. Choose a story or scene that is very descriptive and contains several adjectives. If necessary, add descriptions in order to make it clear
for Ss. Ask Ss to create a drawing to recreate a scene from the story without seeing the illustrations. Ask Ss to focus on the most important actions or characters of the story, but
tell them there are no correct or incorrect answers.
Have students play "Chinese whisper" using vocabulary for the realia items that are appropriate for the scenes in the stories they read, e.g., a red hood, a mirror, a poisoned apple
etc.
Ask children to draw their own scenes about the chosen story. Compare drawings.
Stage 3
Have Ss find illustrations for the previous reading or chosen story; or draw them.
Arrange Ss desks as to have two stations: one for cutting the illustrations, and the second for pasting the illustrations on cardboard in order to make harder material to work with.
Stage 4
Start associating sounds to the graphic representation of words by showing them on pieces of cardboard, on the board, or forming the words out of alphabet sets (e.g., T-i-t-t-l-e).
Have Ss mind map names of characters and related objects of stories on sheets of paper.
Hand out strips of traceable vocabulary to Ss, so that they can write words naming characters or items from the story on them. Exhibit the strips to encourage Ss to recall different
scenes of a specific story or stories.
Ss put together word strips and drawings to come up with their own scenes or versions of scenes.
Have Ss participate in an interactive version with the chosen vocabulary and scenes.
Instruct Ss to exchange word strips and drawings and organize them as they wish, sequencing scenes and being able to move items or events.
Have Ss realize they can come up with a different, more modern and humorous version of a story by moving characters, objects and/or scenes around.
Have Ss draw items and characters of different scenes out of different stories. Make a memory game to match the object or character to a specific story or tale, e.g., a mirrorSnow White, an apple-poison for Snow Whites story.
Provide Ss with a matching exercise on scenes snapshots (images) and the name of familiar stories for them (written form).

Have Ss socialize the product in pairs by walking around identifying scenes, events, objects and reading captions, as if they were visiting a famous tales museum. Establish roles,
one Ss can be the tour guide and the other an art critic. Monitor Ss to give opinions on one anothers work.

Stage 6
Write seven dashes on the board for Ss to guess the name of the new topic which will be "animals". In teams, play "Hangman" using previous animal vocabulary (activate
previous knowledge). Have Ss point at each animal in visuals, say its name and identify parts of its body, its size, its habitat and check Ss pronunciation. Repeat the same
procedure with different animals.
Play the "Odd one out" game. Show Ss sets of vocabulary on the board, include four words per set. One of the words will not belong to the category of living things, e.g., insectplant-book-flower. Ss cross out and pinpoint the odd word in each set. Ask Ss to create new sets following the model and present them to the group.
Show Ss some pictures of different animals at different places. Ask them to look at the photos and ask them different questions such as: What animal is this? Where does it
live? What story do you remember with this animal? Elicit some simple information about those animals and their habitat. Distribute the pictures among SS and ask them to
hold up the correct animal after listening to a short description, e.g. It is big, green, and lives in the desert.
Draw a chart with two columns one for animals and another for their habitat. Ss place cards which contain illustrated information for the columns in the corresponding one. Do
this until all animals and habitats have been placed.
Divide the class in 2 teams. Use posters or stuffed animals, point at different animals and elicit vocabulary from Ss.
Ask Ss in team number one to close their eyes; a volunteer from team number two removes one of the visuals or stuffed animals. Members from team 1 open their eyes and
attempt to guess which animal is missing. A member from team 2 gives a hint if necessary. Recycle vocabulary. The team that guesses more animals wins. Ask Ss to take out their
animal cards and call out the animal names.
Place a set of animal flashcards on the board. Ask questions and review body parts, sizes and colors; e.g. What is this? It is a_____. What color is it? It is ____. Focus on
intonation. These questions can be included in the chart for Ss product.
Use body language and provide options to help Ss produce the expected answers when the information is enquired, e.g., Is a donut a living being? Is a bird ? etc.
Have Ss classify living and non-living things on a chart using visuals with peers help if necessary. Monitor even interventions for Ss.
Elicit information from Ss on living things to match questions on the board. Make sure Ss go over questions; provide enough practice and lots of modeling on intonation.
Do a Yes/No question exercise to help Ss identify useful information for the chart. Make sure Ss record relevant information (knowledge input), to practice the questions Ss were
exposed to before, and organize ideas in a logical layout in the chart. Engage Ss in pair work so that they get massive practice of the language involved. Signal rising or falling
intonation.
Suggest extra questions to find out more information on living and non-living things: color, size, habitat and body. Ss investigate the required information to provide answers
and enrich their charts.
Write names of animals on the board. Randomly say the name of an animal and have some Ss from each team come to the front and point at it. Distribute copies of different
animal shapes and have Ss complete and color them. Have Ss cut out the animal shapes and paste on pieces of cardboard to create their own visual aids.
Call out names of the different animals and have Ss hold up the corresponding card.
Have Ss identify which animal names are similar to the Spanish names (cognates), e.g. puma, flamingo, iguana. Collect animal cards and store for further use, e.g. a memory
game.
Have Ss exchange and check charts (peer correction) using the provided model as a guide.
Form trios and have Ss compare their charts in terms of visual components and encourage them to include their peers ideas and suggestions to make it more attractive and eye
catching. Help them get organized and prepared to present their product to other teams in the same group. Make sure they feel comfortable and confident while presenting the
information to others. Promote and monitor the use of longer pieces of language discourse (how to link ideas to present information), e.g., Penguins are black and white and,
they are short. They live in the Antarctica. Palm trees are tall. They are green. They grow in tropical areas. Camels are tall and strong. They live in the desert. Rocks are non-living.
They are everywhere.
Ask Ss how they feel, what activities they liked the best, which was the most difficult or the easiest activity, and have them reflect upon their own learning process. Let them
share the positive aspects of collaborative work.

Show the cover of a fictional story. Ask Ss to make predictions about it. Ask them if they think the story is about: a girl, or a boy, if he/she is sad, if it is for fun or educational,
etc. Ask them to identify the characters, the title of the story, the setting, the name of the author, the mood of the characters and objects they observe in the illustrations as
you go through the pages with them.
Use the Ss textbook to show pictures or illustrations of mobiles to Ss, in order to give them different ideas on how to produce a nice, attractive mobile later on.
Choose another story to read aloud. While reading it, point out to the pictures to support the meaning. Make Ss repeat after you. Make sure you mime the sentences while
reading. Be sure to check comprehension before moving along to the next part of the story.
Ask Ss to stand up. Mention and mime some actions using can, e.g., "I can run / I can jump / I can draw." or a structure used in the story. Have children form small groups
and choral drill the phrases and mime the activities too.
Encourage Ss to make their own story. For starters, have the first participant share some personal information, e. g., their name, age, nationality, etc. Then, they can name an
action they are able and/or not able to perform, e.g., I can/cant ride a bike. Ss create a sequence of ideas in order to create a story.
Have Ss record the sentences from the story in their notebooks. If children are still struggling to write, give them cards with dotted words for them to retrace.
After writing the sentences, go over the cards with Ss, have them read each idea out loud; ensure comprehension of what the story is about by stating incorrect data for
them to correct it. Monitor to check Ss comprehension of the story all along. Invite them to express how the actions in the story make them feel.
Ask Ss imagine the most creative images or drawings to illustrate the story. Ask Ss to elaborate the art. Walk around the class to help when needed and to check if the
drawings match with the written text.
Working in the same teams have Ss organize the final version of the cards to arrange the story in a logical sequence. Take full advantage of this Ss handcraft to encourage
oral production from them.
Allow Ss to edit their stories if the feel is necessary (different beginning, end or the sequence of the story). Have them draw on a piece of paper those story alterations. Ask
some Ss to stand at the front of the class to share the new information. Display the new changes around the classroom. In the case of the stories the Ss liked, ask them why
the liked them and share what they learned from them.
With the help of visual aids lead Ss to tell the story in a sequence. Intervene only if the mistakes or omissions interfere with communication.
After some practice the Ss themselves should be able to correct each other. Take a part in this activity only if the type of mistakes interfere with communication.
Ss decide on places to display the mobiles and exploit them whenever necessary. Some mobiles may be exhibited inside the classroom and others can be placed outside.
Organize a "Mobile Exhibition". Invite other groups to come and look at the mobiles and listen to the descriptions.
Encourage Ss to compare on what others can or are not able to do with their own abilities. Make each team come to the front and share what they can or cant do.
Make sure you acknowledge your Ss efforts.

Stage 5
Place a map of the Mexican Republic at the front of the class (some schools are provided with these large didactic maps). Have children look at it. Ask them if they recognize
the place. After identifying what it is, explain to them that maps have borders or limits, also that there are four cardinal points: North, South, West, and East. Invite some Ss to
the front to trace the limits of the Mexican Republic with their fingers. Point at some states and elicit from Ss where they are, (North, South, etc.) Give Ss some more
information about Mexico. Ask them if they have been to any other state.
Provide Ss with enlarged shapes of some states of Mexico and ask them to put them together to make their own map, they can also be asked to color the state they were
assigned.
Previously ask Ss to search information about the characteristics of Mexicos flora and fauna in different parts of the country, divide the class into four and assign a cardinal
point to each group and ask Ss to share the information they found. Provide Ss with flash cards or illustration with animals and plants from different states in Mexico and ask
them to put those illustrations in the correct region in the map.
Show Ss pictures of different flora and fauna environments and ask them to identify the differences and or similarities among them. Elicit where those species of animal,
plants and flowers are found and ask Ss to write down the information. Ask Ss to bring some cardboard and cut-outs of animals and plants for next class.
Draw a wind rose. Divide Ss into 5 groups (one for each cardinal point and another for the center of the country). Ask each group to copy and color the wind rose in their
notebooks. Help Ss when necessary.
In different parts of the classroom hide flashcards of different animals, plants and flowers that belong to different states of the country and play treasure hunter, randomly ask
Ss to come to the board and follow your instruction to find the flashcard, use the words north, south, west, east, etc. so that students can follow directions. Prize the ones
who find the treasure.
Provide each S with the pieces of a complete map and ask them to put it in the correct order to create a map of Mexico, and then tell them that they have to color their map,
assign different colors for each cardinal point. Encourage Ss to say where some estates are e.g. Sonora is in the north, Mexico City is in the center, organize groups and ask
them to write down the location of some states by following the models then ask them to read aloud their sentences to their partners. While Ss do the activity, monitor their
progress, make any correction if necessary and make emphasis on correct pronunciation.
As an alternative activity organize groups of four or five and tell Ss they will elaborate a large map of the Mexican flora and fauna. Assign each team cardboard and a space to
outline their maps and states. Help Ss draw their maps. Ask Ss to color the areas of the map, according to previous information about Mexican flora and fauna. Tell them to
draw or paste the cut-outs of animals and plants corresponding to each area.
Complement information about the flora and fauna in each region of the country e.g. Chiapas is in the south. It's hot. Jaguars and monkeys can be found here
While Ss complete their maps in teams, walk round the classroom making sure that Ss are doing what they were told and help them produce the language needed to describe
their work.
Organize teams and ask Ss to exhibit their maps inside the classroom and describe the different areas they have studied, their location, the climate and the flora and fauna.
Promote respect while Ss make their presentations, invite Ss from other groups or even parents in order to promote interaction.

Stages

Show Ss flashcards with words such as doctor, hospital, nurse, firefighter, police officer, etc. Ask Ss to describe what they see. Help them notice the kind of clothes each
one is wearing. Ask Ss to match the pictures: e.g. doctor/hospital, teacher/school, mechanic/car, etc.
Ask Ss about their parents occupations and write them on the board. Divide the class into teams. Ask a volunteer from one team to come to the front and act out an
occupation from the board. Invite his/her team members to guess the occupation. If their team guesses correctly, they get a point. They have two minutes to guess. If
they are unable to do it, the other teams get the opportunity.
Have Ss in different groups. Have them look at the pictures again and decide which ones are common in their community. Read aloud the words under the photos and
have Ss repeat them. Emphasize the fact that many men and women have the same profession e.g. singers, actors, doctor.
Bring pieces of cardboard with squares pre-traced for Ss to re-trace. You may guide this activity by pointing out directionality: up /down, left/right until they have redrawn all squares. Ask Ss to bring cut-outs of occupations, related clothes and objects. Divide your class into groups. Assign material and ask Ss to create a lottery board.
Ask them to draw in each box of the lottery board a profession, a tool, a piece of clothing, an object, etc. together with the written form. Pay attention to Ss written and
oral production, encourage them to help each other to correct themselves or use direct correction in case they need it.
Put a piece of tape in the middle of the floor to divide the room in two areas. Designate one side as "Yes" and the other as "No". Line up the children and show them a
flashcard of a profession, for instance, a doctor. Tell them "a doctor works in a hospital". Since the answer is "yes", students must jump to the "yes" side but If you say "a
doctor works in a fire station", they must jump to the "no" side. Ss who jump to the wrong side can be asked some questions to review vocabulary and/ or profession
associations.
Provide Ss with materials to create the lottery cards, check the images in the lottery boards match with the images in the lottery cards so that Ss can play with it. This
activity will take some time; so if there are fast finishers, ask them to help their partners.
While Ss perform the activity, monitor and provide them with support in case they need it. Make set of complete lotteries so that Ss can play and exchange sets.
Give instructions and a brief demo for all Ss to understand the game. Ask them to take turns to play their lottery game with their classmates. Have teams switch their
lottery boards.
Play the lottery with the whole group. The teacher calls out the different names showing the card of the image that corresponds. Do this several times to equip the Ss
well enough to embark upon the game by themselves. Make sure there is English production and that several Ss get the chance of calling out the names with a
reasonable degree of accuracy and fluency. You may invite other groups to come and play this lottery game. Ask your own Ss to function as game monitors. Equip them
with language to give instructions and be ready to monitor the game, so that no Ss cheat or misuse the material.
