This document outlines a lesson plan on Pancake Day for English language learners. The objectives are for students to learn about Pancake Day traditions, learn and sing a song about Pancake Day, and participate in a pancake toss game. A variety of activities are outlined, including singing the song both standing still and walking, practicing tossing and catching a pancake toy with a pan while standing and walking, and running a pancake race in small groups. Assessment criteria focus on students' ability to sing the song and perform the motions and activities at different skill levels.
