Our motto classes will be a proverb: East or West, Home is Best. (Being a guest is good, but being at home is better.)
Phonetic warm-up:
Let's guys remember the fairy tale about the tongue that lived in cozy warmth home, in the mouth of its owner. Do you remember how inquisitive he was? How he loved to listen to everything that was happening outside.... The tongue listened to how the hedgehog ran, snorting, [f] how the flies buzzed... (practicing dental sounds)
You know guys, I recently received a letter (Letter) from our friend from the UK, listen to what he writes to us (I take out the envelope and read the letter). I will read, and you guys will translate the letter.
"Hello! I am Nick. I am a boy. I am from Great Britain. I have got mine family. I have got my mother. My mother's name is Ann. I have got my father. My father's name is Mike. I have got my sister. My sister's name is Sue. I have got my grandmother. My grandmother's name is Kate. I have got my grandfather. My grandfather's name is Tim. I love my family very much!»
(PowerPoint Presentation)
Now let's play a little! Stand up, please!
A game "Big Ben" (physical education minute)
Big Ben is a tower
We wouldn't mind playing with her!
For mom, dad, son, daughter!
(similar game "The sea is agitated once". I call all family members children. Children should pretend that mother – she cooks, does housework; father – repairs furniture, reads a newspaper, etc.)
Sit down, please!
Children! Remember, you and I drew our family tree (Family tree) Look, now it’s autumn outside the window, and this is what a sad tree I have... Let’s all make it happy together, hang leaves on it, and the tree will become green and cheerful again. But first you need to guess who we are talking about, and for each correct answer, I will give you leaf:
My mom's dad (grandfather) My grandparents' daughter (Mother)
My mom's son (Brother) My brother's sister (sister)
My grandparents' son (dad)
My dad's mom (grandmother)
(on a pre-prepared tree (made of paper or wire, etc., we will hang green leaves on which all family members are written).
A game "The reporter"
The teacher throws a ball to each child and asks questions. The children answer.
(Have you got a father? What is your sister’s name? How is your brother)
Well done! We completed all the tasks, repeated the words and consolidated our knowledge. Let's sum it up result.
Do you agree, children? So what is family to us? (Power Point Presentation)
Family is what we share among everyone,
A little bit of everything: both tears and laughter,
Family is something that is always with you.
Let the seconds, weeks, years rush by,
But the walls are dear, your father’s house -
The heart will forever remain in it!
The lesson is over. Good Bye!
Children receive stickers as a reward (emoticons, etc.)
