8 Handout: Teaching vocabulary and structures Ideas for activities related to the topic of animals and the Cambridge English: Starters word list. Describing an animal E.g. This is an elephant. An elephant has a tail. An elephant is grey. Elephants are big. Elephants can swim. Children could draw the animals and put the drawings and descriptions together to make a mini-book. Describing likes and dislikes E.g. I like elephants. I don t like giraffes. Children could do a classroom survey of likes and dislikes, and make a graph/chart. Drawing a plan of a zoo and making labels for it E.g. There are three hippos in the zoo. The hippos are next to the tigers. A role-play about going to the zoo E.g. Let s go to the zoo! What s the hippo doing? She s swimming! Children could make up and then act out a role-play using words you have given them. Guess the animal gap-fill See the examples A cat and A horse in the Cambridge English: Starters Sample Papers Volumes 1 and 2, Reading Part 4. Song: At the Zoo A) Watch the video of a song and write down the names of all the animals you see or hear. B) Now decide whether the following sentences are true or false. 1) The family goes to the zoo in a blue car. 2) Mummy says Here we go. 3) The giraffe is looking. 4) Grandma looks at two lions. 5) The elephant is sleeping. 6) The brother likes snakes. 7) The bird is under the lion. 8) The cousins say Wow! 4 USING A TOPIC-BASED APPROACH FOR CAMBRIDGE ENGLISH: STARTERS

9 Classroom activity: Habitats Topic The world around us Timing 10 minutes Materials worksheet: Places and animals Rationale To activate vocabulary related to the world around us and animals, and practise speaking and writing skills. Procedure 1. Give out the worksheet: Places and animals and identify the habitats in the picture (sea, jungle, grass, farm). 2. Say: You re an animal and you live in the sea. What kind of animal are you? Choose an animal but don t say anything. Note: Learners don t have to move around the classroom, but they can pull faces or use their arms to mime movement through water. You may want to choose an animal and move too! Write any acceptable answers on the board in random order. Do not write the answers in their groups. 3. Ask: What are you? Suggestions: fish, dolphins, sharks, whales. Write any acceptable answers on the board so the animals do not appear in their categorised groups. 4. Say: You re not in the sea now. You re walking in the jungle. Be careful! Which animals are near? Suggestions: monkeys, snakes, tigers, spiders, lizards, bats. Write any acceptable answers on the board. 5. Say: You re hiding in some tall grass in Africa. Shh! Which animals can you see? Suggestions: giraffes, lions, lizards, hippos, elephants, crocodiles, parrots, frogs, spiders. Again, write any acceptable answers on the board. 6. Say: You live on a farm. Ask: Which animals live on your farm too? Suggestions: horses, cows, sheep, ducks, chickens, goats, dogs, cats, flies. Write any acceptable answers on the board. 7. In pairs, learners must copy the animals that are on the board into the appropriate parts of the circle on the worksheet. Walk around, check spellings and accept any reasonable answers. 8. Ask learners to write three animals they are frightened of, three of their favourite animals, and an animal they would like to be on the lines on the worksheet.

10 Follow-up Ask children to mime animals and have others guess the animals. Children play guess who? with animals (Child 1 thinks of an animal, and Child 2 asks questions to guess the animal OR Child 1 describes an animal and Child 2 listens and guesses). Children choose an animal and write or record a description of the animal. Children choose a habitat (e.g. the sea) and write about the habitat and its animals. Further activities Researching and describing a country: its rivers, mountains, forests, lakes, waterfalls, cities. Children could write a guide about the country. A diary entry about a trip: a day at the beach, a day in the countryside, a day in the city. Texts could go on the school blog with some photographs. Researching and writing about how plants grow. Texts and pictures could be displayed on posters. Creating a map of an imaginary island. Children could make a model of the island. If your class is taking the Cambridge English: Movers test, use the Sample Papers Volume 1 Reading and Writing, Part 6 task, where children read a factual text on the topic of zoos and complete the text with grammatical words chosen from three options below. See also the Sample Papers Volume 2, Listening Part 2 task, where children listen to a conversation about a trip to a zoo and complete the words in a page of a notepad. The Sample Papers and audio recordings are available from the Teachers Resources section of the Cambridge English website USING A TOPIC-BASED APPROACH FOR CAMBRIDGE ENGLISH: MOVERS

12 Handout: Materials Work with a partner and complete the second column of the table with as many examples of things made from this material as possible. card Material Example objects glass gold metal paper plastic silver wood wool USING A TOPIC-BASED APPROACH FOR CAMBRIDGE ENGLISH: FLYERS 7

13 Classroom activity: Materials and objects Topic Materials Timing minutes Materials worksheet: Materials and objects; at least one object made of one of the materials on the worksheet (e.g. a plastic bottle) Rationale To activate vocabulary related to materials and everyday objects, and practise speaking and writing skills. Procedure 1. Teach or review words for materials (card, glass, gold, metal, paper, plastic, silver, wood, wool) using pictures of appropriate objects or real things. 2. Give out the worksheet: Materials and objects. Alternatively, show the table on a slide on the IWB, or draw the table on the board and ask the children to copy it. 3. Show an object you have brought to class (e.g. a plastic bottle) and say: This is a bottle. What s it made of? Elicit the answer (plastic). Say: This bottle is made of plastic. What things are made of plastic? 4. Elicit some objects made of plastic and write them on the board. Tell children to write the names of the objects next to the word plastic in the table (i.e. the second column). 5. Divide children into pairs. For each material, they should think of as many objects as they can that are made of that material. If you wish, the children could look through their coursebook to find pictures of suitable objects. They should write the names of the objects in the second column of the table. 6. Allow up to 5 minutes for the activity. Monitor children as they do the activity, and help where necessary. 7. Elicit feedback (see suggested key to step 7, below). Encourage use of the phrase made of (e.g. What s made of glass? A mirror s made of glass. Is a postcard made of glass? What s it made of?) Suggested key (step 7) Suggestions (from the Cambridge English: Flyers word list in the Handbook for Teachers): card: box, birthday card, calendar, postcard glass: bottle, mirror gold: ring, necklace metal: bridge, bicycle, motorbike, key, knife, spoon, fork paper: envelope, book, map, newspaper, magazine, stamp 12 USING A TOPIC-BASED APPROACH FOR CAMBRIDGE ENGLISH: FLYERS

14 plastic: comb, ball, bottle, toothbrush silver: ring, necklace, crown wood: chopsticks, chair, guitar, violin, bowl, cupboard wool: scarf, sweater, blanket, socks, gloves Further activities Children can collect or draw pictures or take photographs of objects made of certain materials. They then stick and label pictures on to a collage (e.g. This is a bottle. It s made of glass). Children find out about one material (e.g. where it is from, how it is made, what it is used for, how long people have used it).they make a physical or digital poster to present their research and pictures. Children can play the game in the activities for children section for A2 learners on the Cambridge English website. In the activity called What is this made from? (available here: what-is-this-made-from/story.html), learners look at five pictures of objects and answer a question. As they click on the correct object, the monkey picks a banana and moves up the tree. Children can do this and other similar activities to practise different areas of vocabulary either at home with parents or collaboratively in class if you have an IWB. USING A TOPIC-BASED APPROACH FOR CAMBRIDGE ENGLISH: FLYERS 13

15 Handout: Classroom activities The following activities for the classroom are based around six topics from the combined thematic vocabulary list for Cambridge English: Starters. This list can be found in the Cambridge English: Young Learners Handbook. The activities integrate vocabulary and language structures appropriate for this level, and help children to develop their language skills. Classroom activity: At the zoo Topic Animals Timing minutes Materials worksheet: At the zoo; video: At the zoo (available at: Rationale To activate vocabulary related to animals and practise reading skills.

Tell children that they are going to watch a video of a song. As they watch and listen, they should write the names of animals that they see in the video. (At this stage, children could write the names in their first language.) 3. Play the video: At the zoo. Elicit the animals that children saw in the video. 4. Give out the worksheet: At the zoo. Explain that the handout has some sentences about the video that they just watched. Some of the sentences are true and some are false. Give children time to read the sentences, and check understanding. 5. Play the video again. Divide children into pairs, and ask them to compare their answers. Monitor and check children understand. 6. When most pairs are ready, elicit answers (see key below).
