Exercise 4.
a) Guess what. A pupil describes one of the mentioned places with own words and
other children should guess and write the name in their copybooks.
b) Missing cards. Teacher places five cards (photos 1-5) on the blackboard. Pupils
turn around or close their eyes. At that moment teacher turns one card over. Then
children try to guess the ‘missing’ card. It can be repeated many times. This game
works well as a whole class activity or in small groups. At the end teacher can turn
all cards over and pupils should name everything.
Exercise 5. Play time. One pupil comes to the blackboard, stands in front of the
class, thinks about some place from the topic “My Village” and, listening to the
classmates’ questions (for example: Is it a post office?), tries to give the answer:
“Yes” or “No”. The person, who wins, comes to the blackboard and changes the
player. And so on (the photos 1-5 on the blackboard can help children to guess).
