ENDING THE LESSON

7 min.

(An activity to consolidate the language of the lesson.) Divide the class into two teams, A and B. Invite a pupil from each team to the board. Whisper an

animal from the lesson to the pupils. The pupils then have to draw clues on the board related to the

animal. They are not allowed to speak, write words or use gestures. Each team has two minutes to guess the correct animal. The first team to do so, wins a point for his/her team. Continue with other pupils from each team. The team with the most points wins the game.
