Lesson 1
Task One (5 minutes)
Do an alphabet chain around the class. Repeat
the alphabet two or three times and make sure
that every child is included in the chain.
Tell children that you are going to play a song
they know. Ask them to listen to the song as
you do the actions.
Play Head and Shoulders (Song CD 3.1). (Children
first learnt this in English for Me 1A) Some
children may be able to join in with the words
at this stage. Do the actions to the song and try
and elicit the words from the class as you touch
or point to each part of the body: head,
Children will:
• listen to and join in with a song
• revise the names of parts of the body
• correct wrongly spelled names of parts ,of
the body
• practise spelling with a partner
• take part in a group spelling competition
• label a picture using parts of the body
You will need:
• Poster: Biff’s Body
• Word cards: parts of the body

Play Head and Shoulders twice.
Task Two (5 minutes)
Do a quick TPR activity revising facial features
(eye, ear, nose, mouth), other parts of the body
(hand, finger, arm, leg, knee, toe, feet), left and
right. For example, Hold up your right hand,
Touch your nose, Close your eyes, etc.
Task Three (15 minutes)
Step one
Put the poster of Biff as on page 22 of the
Classbook on the board. Ask children to look at
page 22 of their Classbooks. Give children a few
minutes to study the picture.
Unit 3 63
Point to the various parts of Biff on the poster.
Elicit the names of all the parts of the body and
face. As you point to each part of the body, elicit
the name of the part, point to the word and get
children to repeat it with you. Elbow and tongue
are new words. Get children to identify and
repeat these several times.
Step two
Tell the class that you are going to put a word
card with a name of one of the parts of the body
on the board. Encourage children to try and find
the matching word in their books, and then read
it aloud. Looking at the written word with the
visual reminder of the part of the body, and then
reproducing the word orally, will aid children’s
ability to memorise vocabulary. Make this a quick,
lively activity.
Step three
Tell children that you are now going to write the
words on the board, but that they must watch
very carefully in case you make a mistake. Write
the first word eye correctly. Then write the word
nose, but incorrectly – noes. Wait and see if
children notice the mistake after they have
checked the word in their book. If they see the
mistake, ask them what’s wrong and encourage
the class to help you write the word correctly on
the board. Spell the word out using the letter
names as you write them on the board: n – o – s
– e. If children can’t see the mistake, point it out
to them.
Point to the word nose and ask the class How do
you spell ‘nose’? Encourage the class to spell out
the word with you. Get the class to repeat the
question with you How do you spell ‘nose’? and
then spell the word.
Write nee on the board. Ask children to read it
out. Ask them if you have written it correctly.
Highlight the fact that you missed out the letter
‘k’, because it is a silent letter. Let them give you
the correct spelling k-n-e-e. Do the same with
tose. Children often make these kinds of errors
and they need to be shown.
Write the word tongue on the board. Point to
the word and help the class to ask the question
How do you spell ‘tongue’? Encourage the class
to spell the word with you.
Identify the hard spot ‘ng’ and the following
letters ue. Show these to children and ask them
to be extra careful when using these letters.
Write several more body part words on the
board and get the class to ask you the
appropriate question, using How do you spell …?
Spell out the words as the class ask you the
correct question.
Write a body part word on the board and get a
confident child to ask another child the question.
Encourage the child who asked the question to
spell out the word. For example, write the word
elbow on the board. One child asks another How
do you spell ‘elbow’? and the other child spells
out the word e – l – b – o – w. Repeat this with
two or three more pairs of children.
Step four
Remove the poster from the board. Tell children
to close their books and get into their groups.
Each group should have a piece of paper and
write the numbers 1-11 on it. Tell children that
you will dictate words and that they must discuss
in their groups how the word is spelt. The first
child that has the paper must then write the
word beside number 1. The other children in the
group should check the spelling and offer support.
The piece of paper is then passed on to the next
child in the group.
Dictate a word for the first child to write down.
Members of the group should check what has
been written and offer help and support as
necessary. Do this for all the eleven words.
Quickly correct the pieces of papers after the
dictation and declare a winner. Retain the pieces
of paper so that you can analyse which words
children have problems with in order to give
further coaching.
Task Four (5 minutes)
Ask children to open their Skills Books at page 13.
Children have consciously learned to spell parts of
the body using Biff’s body. Ask children to label
the body parts of the clown. It will be interesting
to see if children can transfer this knowledge and
information to a different picture. Ask children to
try to do the work without looking at their
Classbooks. Once they have completed the
exercise, they can consult their Classbooks to
check their spellings. Ask them to correct their
work.

Lesson 2
Task Two (10 minutes)
Step one
Ask children to look at page 23 of their
Classbooks. Give children a few moments to
study the pictures.
Hold up your Classbook, point to one of the
pictures and ask children to name the characters
in the picture. Elicit Sami and Biff. Explain that
Soot is giving the other characters instructions
and that they are trying to follow them.
Read the first instruction to the class – Put your
hands on your head. Ask children to do this.
Now ask children to look at the written
instruction in their book. Write the instruction
on the board. Get the class to read the
instruction aloud with you. Make sure you track
under the words with your finger or a ruler as
the children read off the board with you. Ask
children to look at picture 1 again and ask them
who is following the instruction correctly. Elicit
Sami.
Repeat this procedure with each picture until
children have followed all six instructions, read
them off the board and named the character in
each picture who is following them correctly.
Children will find instruction 6 amusing and will
enjoy trying to do it.
Step two
Tell the class that they will hear Soot giving the
instructions on the CD. Ask them to listen and
match which instruction goes with which
sentence. Children will therefore be matching
the spoken word with the written word in this
activity.
Play Listening CD 3.1. Pause after each
instruction and ask children What sentence?

Task Three (10 minutes)
Ask children to look at pages 24 and 25. Give the
class a few minutes to study the picture, then ask
children to name anything they recognise. Hold
up your Classbook and point to the items as they
are named by the class. After you have elicited as
much language as possible, point to one of the
clowns in the picture and say a clown. Point to
the other clowns and get children to repeat a
clown with you.
Put the flashcard of the clown on the board. Get
the class to repeat a clown with you again. Point
to the clown’s hat and say Look at his hat. What
colour is it? Elicit black.
Tell children to look at the picture on pages 24
and 25 again. Ask How many clowns can you

and then elicit six. Ask children What colour are
the clowns’ hats? Elicit the colours of the different
hats.
Put the happy clown and sad clown flashcards on
the board and teach the words happy and sad.
To check that children understand the meanings,
ask them to tell you what things make them
happy and what things make them sad. Allow
children to respond in L1 as well as English.
Ask children to look at the picture again and find
and point to a happy clown. Give children time
to look, and then go round the class to check
that if they are pointing to the happy clown. Ask
What colour is the happy clown’s hat? Elicit the
colour – pink – as a further check for children to
know they have identified the correct clown.
Repeat this procedure for the sad clown.
Put the thin, fat, tall and short clown flashcards on
the board. Point to each flashcard in turn and say
a thin clown, a fat clown, a tall clown, a short
clown. Get the class to repeat these descriptions
with you. Point to the flashcards in random order
and elicit the appropriate descriptions. Make sure
the class describes each flashcard at least twice.
Ask children to look at the picture again and find
a thin clown. Give children time to look, and then
go round the class to check that children are
pointing to the thin clown. Ask What colour is the
thin clown’s hat? Elicit the colour – orange – as a
further check for children to know they have
identified the correct clown. Repeat this
procedure for the fat, tall and short clowns.
Remove the clown flashcard from the board at
the end of this activity, but leave the other
flashcards (happy clown, sad clown, etc.) up.
Task Four (10 minutes)

Point to your eyes. Ask What are these? Elicit
eyes. Ask What do we use our eyes for? You
may need to repeat this in L1. Allow children to
respond in L1.
Explain to the class that We use our eyes to see
the world around us. Hold up a pencil and ask
What is it? Elicit a pencil. Say Yes. It’s easy
because you can see the pencil.
Now ask children to Close your eyes. Tell
children to keep their eyes closed until you tell
them to open them. Hold up a ball and ask
What is it? Say Listen as you bounce the ball on
the floor. See if any children can guess what it is.
If anyone guesses correctly, ask the class to
open their eyes and show them the ball. Ask
the child how they knew it was a ball. Help
them to explain that they recognised the sound
of the ball.
Explain to the class that when people can’t use
their eyes, they use their other senses to identify
things. Repeat some of the lines from the rhyme
the children have learnt. Mime the actions as
you say the words: My eyes can see, My ears
can hear, My nose can smell, My tongue can
taste. Write these four sentences on the board.
Then pick up the ball, close your eyes and make

Biff pouring words into a big pan. Get children
to read out all the words in the pan first.
Children should read these words and classify
them under the four headings. Get children to
read the heading words aloud. Revise the
meanings of hear, smell, taste and feel if
necessary. Get children to explain what they
have to do. They have to sort the words
according to the correct heading. Do the word
drum with the class as an example. Ask
children where to write it and elicit under
‘hear’. Get children to classify the rest of the
words.
Activity two is a consolidation activity. Children
should look at each picture, then look at the
first few letters of the word beside it. They
should then try to complete the word by
matching the correct ending and writing in the
missing letters.

hands can feel. Write this sentence on the
board.
Organise the class into pairs. Ask children to
look at pages 24 and 25 of their Classbooks
again. Tell them that you are going to play the
CD and that they will hear the characters talking
about what they can hear, smell, or taste. The
children must listen and find the matching
picture on the page. Explain that this is a
listening race. The first child to point to the
correct picture is the winner. If a child points to
the wrong picture, they lose a point.
Play Listening CD 3.2. Pause after every sentence
to give children time to find the picture. Get
children to point to the picture and then show it
to their partner as soon as they have found it.
Hold up your Classbook and point to the
corresponding item so that children can check
Children will:
• listen to and join in with a rhyme
• do a listening race
• talk about sounds made by objects
• listen to and identify sounds
• complete sentences using words in a box
You will need:
• Flashcards: 95, 101, 158, 180, 181, 187,
189, 190 (a car, the sea, a dog, drum, radio,
mobile phone, bee, thunder, )
• Realia: a ball
to see if they were correct.
Task Two (10 minutes)
Say Let’s use our ears to hear. Close your eyes.
Sshhh! Be very quiet. Now listen. What can you
hear? Encourage children (with their eyes
closed) to name any sound they recognise inside
or outside the classroom. Allow them to
respond in L1 and English. You may want to
prompt them with Can you hear children
talking/birds singing/doors closing/cars going by?
etc.
Tell children to look at page 26 of their
Classbooks. Give them some time to study the
picture and then ask them to name anything
they recognise. Try and elicit a drum, a radio, a
mobile phone, bees, a dog, birds, a car, a ball,
the sea, thunder.
Explain that in the picture there are some things
which make noises, and others which don’t. Tell
children to study the picture again for a few
minutes and then close their eyes and imagine
they are in this place. Ask What can you hear?
Give children time to imagine they are in the
scene, and then say Tell me the things you can
hear. Elicit ideas from the class. Remind children
to keep their eyes closed. As you elicit ideas,
put the corresponding flashcard, or draw a
simple picture, on the board.
Tell children to Open your eyes. Point to the
flashcards on the board and say These are the
things you think you can hear in this picture.
Elicit the name of each item again. Elicit any
words the children did not say using the
flashcards, and then put them on the board.
Tell the class that they are going to hear the
sounds of the things in the picture on the CD.
Ask them to look at the picture and listen.
Play Listening CD 3.3. straight through. Children
should listen and look this first time.
