The lesson plan is for a kindergarten class of 17 five-year-old students learning English as a beginner level. The 60-minute lesson focuses on pets and teaches students to identify common pets, say what pet they have, and imitate the sounds of different pets. A variety of activities are used including singing songs, watching a video, playing a dice game, and completing a worksheet. The lesson follows the PPP structure and aims to develop students' speaking, listening, and motor skills through an engaging lesson about pets.

2. Teaching approach: The lesson is based on the Natural Approach, and
organized through the PPP procedure (Harmer, 2010)
Materials and resources: pictures of different pets, a song video,
flashcards, a pet dice, computer, audio material, emotion flashcards.
Pedagogical use of ICT in class: In this lesson, a video will be used to
support the presentation and exposure of the students to the teaching
point. Activities will be organized through the combination of audio and
video (audiovisual material) which will enhance language learning and
acquisition.
Seating arrangement: During the lessons the students will be sitting on
the floor, they will move around the class imitating the different pets, and
they will also sit down on the chairs.
Cooperative work: learners of this age are in the parallel play stage, which
means they can play together, but still find it difficult to carry out
cooperative or group work activities.
Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the
class: Children may get too excited during the activity. In that case, I´ll
remind them we should be careful so that no one is hurt. I will also clap
my hands and sing a chant for them to get quiet.
Potential problems students may have with the language: They may not
understand the teaching points, so I’ll guide them by pointing to the
pictures and modeling the vocabulary first.

3. Purpose: to start the lesson, get students into the mood for work, establish
rapport.
I’ll get into the classroom and greet students: “Hello! How are you today?” EA:
“Hello!” We´ll do a circle. “Please kids give me your hand!”
I´ll introduce myself: “Hello kids. I´m Miss Jime. I´m here to learn and play with
you. What´s your name?” The children say their names. “My name is Carmela or
Carmela” and I´ll say “Hello Carmela”.
The, I’ll present students a new welcome/hello song: “Let´s make a circle”
While singing the students will act out and follow the teacher who will use body
language and mimes to aid comprehension.
“Let´s make a circle”
“Time to make a circle
Make a circle big, big, big
small, small, small
big, big, big

Once the students and the teacher were sat down, they will sing another song,
one that they already know. The teacher will use body language and mimes to
aid comprehension.
“Hello hello! Can you clap your hands?”
Hello hello! Can you clap your hands?
Can you stretch up high?
Can you touch your toes?
Can you turn around?
Can you say, “Hello”?

After the song, we sit down on the floor and I ask them: “How are you today? Are you happy?”
Showing a big smile on the face and also showing a happy face flashcard. I´ll listen their
answers and then I´ll show them other flashcards and I´ll ask them: “Are you sleepy? Are you
angry?”
Warm-up 5’:

5. Purpose: to introduce the topic and the teaching points
Now the T shows different photographs with her pets: “Look at this photograph. This is my
pet”
I have a pet.She is a DOG and she says WOOF, WOOF, WOOF, WOOF. Hername is Fiona.
I have a pet. He is a DOG and he says WOOF, WOOF, WOOF, WOOF. His name is George.
Look! I have a pet. She is a CAT and she says MEOW,MEOW,MEOW,MEOW.Her name is Tita.
Transition: The teacher arranges the classroom seating as a horseshoe on the
chairs. “Please, kids bring the chairs and sit down here” The children sit on the

6. chairs. Then, the teacher says: “Now it is Video time. You´ll watch a beautiful
video song” So, the teacher creates the proper atmosphere (proper light, voice
and gestures)
Presentation 10´:
Purpose: to further expose the learners to the target language, to listen and
watch a very simple video about pets.
The T says “Now enjoy the video!” The students watch the video while the T
encourages them to sing and say aloud the pet´s sounds.

After watching the video the T sticks on the board pictures with the pets from
the video and elicits their names. “Look at this pet! He/she is a …..cat, dog,
mouse, bird, fish and lion. And she/he says….woof, meow, squeak, tweet, glub
and roar”
The T elicits vocabulary in chunks (He/she is a cat!). I´ll encourage them to repeat
after me: “She is a cat and she says meow” pointing to the corresponding pet.
Here I´ll encourage them to do some gestures as if they were the pets. For
example, for fish the learners will move his arms
Transition: After eliciting the pet´s names the T says: “Now I have a surprise for
you! Look! It´s a dice! Let´s play a game”
Development 15’:
 Activity 1 – 10’:
Purpose: this activity and the following are aimed at fostering
contextualized practice of the teaching points
The T explains the activity: You´ll listen to some music and you´ll have to pass the dice
to your partner. But when the music stops the dice will be rolled. Then, the student will
say the pet´s name that the dice shows and its sound. For example: “She is a bird. She
says tweet, tweet” After that, the game will continue and so on and so forth till some
students can roll the dice.

7.  Activity 2 – 5’:
Now the T sticks pet´s pictures around the classroom, then she gathers
the students in the center of classroom and says: I have a pet. He is a
MOUSE. Here I´ll encourage them to go towards the correct picture and
then I say: and he says…. In order the students complete the
sound…”squeak squeak”

8. Closure 15’:
The teacher invites the children to the table: “Now let´s go to work”
The students sit on the chairs and they prepare to complete a worksheet. I´ll explain
the activity giving the follow instructions:
1. I´ll point at the line where the pets are and say: “Color the pets, please
kids”
2. Once they have colored the pets I´ll ask them to “cut the pets”
3. Finally I´ll give them some glue to “Paste the pets”
I´ll be nearby in case they need some help or new instructions.
Worksheet: I´ll hand each student a copy.

9. Once the students finish the activity I´ll say: “Oh, no! Look at the time” (pointing
the clock on the wall/ the watch on her wrist) It´s time to say good bye. We sit
on the floor and then I´ll say: “Let´s sing the goodbye song”
Bye, bye, Goodbye
Bye, bye, Goodbye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, Goodbye
I can clap my hands
I can stamp my feet
I can clap my hands
I can stamp my feet
Bye, bye, Goodbye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, Goodbye
