3. CLIL — 4 Color Corners (Student Book pg 21)
- Objective: students choose a color corner and stay safe by not matching the color the teacher picks from the box.
- Materials: color cards for corners, small colored papers in a box.

- b) Play the [Let’s Chant] song while students dance in the middle of the room.
- c) When the music stops, students must quickly go and choose one of the four color corners.
- d) The teacher closes their eyes and pulls out one colored paper from the box.
- e) Students standing in the corner that matches the teacher’s paper are “Out!” and sit in the waiting area.
- f) Continue the rounds until only a few winners are left.
4. Wrap-up

W2 P2Phonics (Workbook)
Lesson Goals
- To introduce the phonics sound U u
- To support early phonics awareness through listening and speaking activities
- To reinforce phonics learning using familiar vocabulary and visuals
Students will be able to
- Identify the sound /ʌ/ for U u
- Recognize words that begin with U u from pictures
1. Warm-Up
Hello Song · “How are you?” · “How’s the weather today?” · Day of the week check
2. Phonics Introduction — U u
- a) Demonstrate pronunciation. Write uppercase “U” and lowercase “u” on the board. “The letter U makes the /ʌ/ sound.” “To make the /ʌ/ sound, keep your mouth relaxed and open it just a little. Imagine you are surprised and saying ‘Uh-oh!’ or like you’ve been lightly tapped in the tummy: ‘Uh!’” “Let’s make the sound together: /ʌ/, /ʌ/, /ʌ/!” Exaggerate the sound.
- b) Direct students to the pictures on workbook page 8. “/ʌ/, /ʌ/, /ʌ/ like in up, /ʌ/, /ʌ/, /ʌ/ like in umbrella, /ʌ/, /ʌ/, /ʌ/ like in uncle.”
- Up — point your finger high toward the ceiling and say “Up!” Umbrella — pretend to hold an umbrella handle and “pop” it open above your head, then say “Umbrella!” Uncle — draw a diagram to explain the family connection, “Uncle!” Encourage students to copy your actions.
- c) Practice saying these words numerous times. If some students have difficulty with a certain aspect of pronunciation, focus on that again and again until it is understood.
3. Workbook pg 8 — Phonics
- Guide students to find and circle the letters U/u and the U-words (umbrella, up, uncle) in the picture.
4. Workbook pg 9 — Phonics
- Direct students to color the umbrella with the big U, add the stickers around the small u to complete the umbrella, and then color the Uu at the bottom.
5. Activity (Phonics) — Draw the words!
- Objective: students demonstrate their understanding of current and previous phonics vocabulary by quickly illustrating and writing target words on whiteboards during a team competition.
- Materials: whiteboards, markers, erasers.
- a) Go over current and previous phonics vocabulary words with the students.
- b) Once everyone has had a turn to practice a word, split the class into 2 or more teams (depending on the number of students).
- c) Give each team a whiteboard, marker and eraser.
- d) Call out a phonics word. The students then draw a picture related to the word.
- e) The team with the correct picture gets a point. To make it more difficult, the students also have to write the word clearly underneath their drawing.
6. Wrap-up
- Review target words with the [Let’s Chant] song, then finish the class with the Goodbye song.
