Topic: Daily Routines & Telling Time
Level: Beginner
Duration: 60 minutes
Lesson Objectives:
- Students will learn vocabulary related to daily routines (e.g., wake up, eat breakfast, go to school).
- Students will practice telling time in English (o’clock, half past).
- Students will form simple sentences using “I [action] at [time].”
Materials Needed:
- Flashcards (daily routines & clock faces)
- A large classroom clock with movable hands
- Whiteboard and markers
- Printed worksheets (matching activities)
- A short video (e.g., "Peppa Pig’s Daily Routine" with English subtitles)
Lesson Procedure:
1. Warm-up (10 minutes)
- Greeting & Review: Sing a “Hello Song” and review numbers 1–12 (for telling time).
- Game: “Simon Says” with actions (e.g., “Simon says wake up!”, “Simon says brush your teeth!”).
2. Presentation (15 minutes)
- New Vocabulary: Show flashcards and drill phrases like “get dressed,” “go to bed,” etc. Use gestures!
- Telling Time: Use the classroom clock to teach:
- “It’s 3 o’clock.”
- “It’s half past 7.”
- Video Time: Watch a 3-minute routine video. Pause to ask, “What does she do at 8 o’clock?”
3. Practice (20 minutes)
- Activity 1: Pair students. One acts out a routine, the other guesses and says the time (e.g., “You eat lunch at 12 o’clock!”).
- Activity 2: Worksheet matching clocks to routine phrases.
- Song: Sing “This is the Way We Brush Our Teeth” with gestures.
4. Production (10 minutes)
- Draw & Tell: Students draw their own daily routine and present 1–2 sentences (e.g., “I go to school at 8 o’clock.”).
- Exit Ticket: Each student says one new word they learned.
5. Wrap-up (5 minutes)
- Homework: Interview a family member about their routine (draw or write 1 sentence).
- Goodbye song: “See You Later, Alligator!”
Assessment:
- Observe participation in games/activities.
- Check worksheet accuracy.
- Listen for correct sentence structures during presentations.
Extension: Advanced students can add more times (e.g., “quarter past”) or use adverbs like “always” or “sometimes.”
Notes: Adjust pacing based on student energy. Add more games if needed!
Would you like any modifications (e.g., focus on writing, more games)?
