I will show the video “Hockory, Dickory dock”. they know the song
because the teacher sang it in previous lessons but they have never
watched it. So, they will sing while watching the video. I will ask
students to watch it twice
Development (20 minutes)
I will show them some pictures, of the animals:
Teacher: This is the mouse, which´s first in the song! And What´s next?
Student: the snake!!
Teacher: Yes, Mijael!! Very good it is the cat!! And what´s next? Do you
remember?
Student: Ardilla
Teacher: In English is … yes! It´s squirrel
After that I will ask them about the colors of the animals:
Do you remember (when I made my observation I realize that the teacher

6. always ask them “do you remember and they answer: yes…. Al together) what
color is it?
(I will show them a red PENCIL).
Yes, it´s red!!
What color is it? (green)
I will show them all the colors known: red, green, yellow, and blue. Then
I will show them a brown pencil:
T: Do you know this color? The will most probably say in Spanish
“marron” ok, but in English we say BROWN, repeat brown(they repeat all
together)
Then I will show them an orange penCil. And this one? What color is it?
“Naranja” I will say: ok, yes but in English is orange, what color is it?
Students will answer: “Orange!”
T: “Very Good!!!”
T: Know let´s sit on your chair.
I will give them some copies of the animals (one animal for each
student), I will say “the monkey is?” They will answer “marron” yes but
do you remember in English brown… ok paint brown the monkey.
The snake is (I will show them a red pencil) so they will say “red”, Ok
yes!! It is red!
The squired is… (I will show them a yellow pencil) Yellow, Yes!! Very
good it is yellow!!(miming and making them to repeat the color of the
pencil)
The same with the cat(green) and the elephant (blue)
After that I will check if they are doing well painting correctly each
animal and after a few minutes I will say: “Ok it´s time” I will pick up
their copies by asking: “What´s your name?” each student will answer I
will write the name on the page and I will put it all together on my desk.
T: Very Good to all of you!!! Beautiful animals!!
Ok everyone to the carpet!!!(they will run to sit in the carpet)
T: Quiet, quiet as a mouse and no one knows we´re in the house!!
(gesturing silence) so, the children say: shhhh!! With their finger in the
mouth. (they feel comfortable with the song as the teacher always sing
that song to make them shut up and pay attention to the next activity)
Closure (10 minutes)
T: Ok, do you remember? I will show them the new colors to check if they
understood.
Revising the animals: I will ask them, Do you remember? which was first in the
song? They will answer: “the mouse”
T: and what color is it? Yes!! It is brown!!!And, what´s next? I will point with my
finger…

7. S: snake
T: yes, very good!! What´s next?... (with the six animals seen)
I will sing the good bye song and the put on your jacket song too.
Homework
On their communication book I will write to their parents:
Hoy aprendimos una canción en nuestra clase de Inglés. Me gustaría si es
posible que busquen en internet la misma y la traten de repasar en casa. Se
llama “Hickory, Dickory, Dock”, les encantó. No importa si ustedes no saben
Inglés solo pongan la canción y ellos seguramente la van a cantar.
Muchas Gracias!
