This lesson plan is for an English class of 11 students aged 5-7. The lesson will focus on teaching vocabulary related to summer weather like sunny, rainy, windy and snowy. There will be two activities - a skipping game to review the vocabulary and a cut and paste activity where students match weather pictures to the words. The plan aims to develop students' vocabulary, listening, visual and interpersonal skills over a 60 minute period through interactive games and individual work.

swing if we hear "windy".
