Introduction to the Lesson Plan
Good morning, class! Today, we will be learning about basic greetings and introductions in English. This lesson is designed for young learners who are just starting their journey into the world of English. Our goal is to make learning fun and interactive while building a strong foundation in language skills.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:
- Greet others using simple phrases like "Hello" and "Good morning."
- Introduce themselves by saying their names.
- Recognize and respond to basic questions such as "What is your name?"
Materials Needed
- Flashcards with pictures and words
- Small whiteboards and markers for each student
- A set of puppets or stuffed animals (optional)
Warm-Up Activity
Let's start with a game called "Find Your Partner." I will hand out flashcards with different animals on them. Each student will have one card. They need to find the partner whose animal matches theirs. For example, if someone has a picture of a cat, they must find another cat. Once everyone finds their partner, we can practice saying "Hello" and introducing ourselves.
Main Activity
Now, let's move on to our main activity. We will learn how to introduce ourselves. Please stand up and follow me. Say, "My name is [Your Name]." Now, it's your turn. Go around the room and introduce yourselves to your classmates. Remember to smile and look at the person you're speaking to!
Practice Session
Next, we will play a role-playing game. I will call two students to the front of the class. One student will ask, "What is your name?" The other student will answer, "My name is [Name]." After practicing a few times, switch roles so everyone gets a chance to ask and answer.
Conclusion
Great job today, everyone! You all did an excellent job introducing yourselves. Before we finish, let's sing a song together. It goes like this:
"Hello, hello, how are you?
I'm fine, thank you, and you?"
Repeat after me and then sing along.
Homework
For homework, practice introducing yourself to family members at home. Make sure to use the phrase "My name is [Your Name]" when you speak to them.
Thank you for being such wonderful students. Have a great day!
