4. Workbook pg 11 — Review

Have a look at the grassland picture and find the hidden friends (in animal costumes). Ask the students to circle them and ask: “Who is hiding in the tree?” “Can you find the Roo zebra?” “How many lions can you see?”

5. Workbook pg 12 — I Can Say

a) Ask and answer with a partner. Guide students to use the word bank to practice the dialogue. Student A: “Where do you want to live?” Student B: “I want to live in the Arctic. It’s cold and icy.” Have students switch roles.

Teacher Tips: creating new sentences can be challenging for young learners. Keep the atmosphere light and playful so they feel safe to make mistakes. Encourage students to imagine creative homes.
