DEVELOPMENT:
• First Activity:
The teacher will show a video with a song about different weather conditions and about different activities we can do
according to the climate. First, they’ll only listen and watch the video and before watching it again the teacher will ask
them what different types of weather conditions are there in the video? And what activities can they do in? Also she will
introduce through images with vocabulary the activities the characters do in the video depending on how is the weather
like. Then the teacher will play the video a second time so as to mime all together the different actions in the different
weather conditions.

TIMING: 15 minutes.
MATERIALS: Projector – Audio system – Computer – Flashcards.
• Second Activity:
The teacher will give the students some copies with a matching exercise in which they will have to match the different
actions performed in the video with their corresponding weather condition. Once they finish the activity the teacher will
ask them to tell her the answers and she will do the matching on the board (with her flashcards) so as they can all check
the exercise.
