Starter Unit Starter Unit Teacher’s Instructions Starter Unit, Lesson – Memory cards This game can be played in small groups The vocabulary comes from Lesson 1Lesson in the unit Each group will need a set of picture cards The pupils mix up the cards and place them face down on the desk One pupil picks up and shows two cards to his/her partners If the cards are a matching pair (picture and word) then the pupil keeps them If the two cards not match then s/he puts them back, face down on the desk The pupils then take turns to pick up two cards until all the cards have been matched The winner is the pupil with the most cards Starter Unit, Lesson – Pair Activity his is a pair activity, and the worksheet is divided into A and B Make sure you cut the page in half and give one half to the A’s and one half to the B’s in the class Student A reads out his/her words and student B listens and writes the words Then they swap over and student B reads out his/her words and student A listens and writes the words they hear Afterwards, the class can check the answers together Starter Unit, Lesson – Song worksheet This is a simple gap-fill activity that could be used after listening to the song and looking at the class book, or before Students can listen and fill in the missing words (prompted by pictures) and then check with their partner before looking in the Class Book Starter Unit, Lesson – Board game The board games are all available in colour and in black and white Colour is obviously more appealing to children If you can print out the games in colour, you can laminate them and keep them to use again and again in your staffroom In Grade all the board games are vocabulary based and just rely on students saying the relevant words when they land on those squares You will need to teach board game language as well, including “roll again,” “miss a turn,” and “go forward or back … spaces.” © Oxford University Press 2011
