LESSON WORKSHEETS
ACTIVITY: Puppet
Prepare: Stick food or drink flashcards on the wall around the room.
1. Students ask the puppet “how are you?” The puppet responds “I’m hungry/thirsty. Can I have (a banana)?”.
2. Students touch the correct flashcard and give it to the puppet, saying “here you go”. (A crocodile puppet or one with a big mouth is fun for this lesson). Repeat for the other food pictures.
3. Finally, for fun, you may say “Can I have a (foot)?” Students have to give their body part to the puppet (hand, knee, tummy, foot).
Optional - make the food. Lay out coloured paper in some basic colours and preteach (eg red and green). Have students scrunch it into balls. The puppet asks “Can I have a red ball?” Students must choose the correct colour to give. If the students give the wrong colour, you can have fun spitting it out!
