STEP1:Prepare cards with clocks with different times and the same amount of cards with the sentences corresponding to theses pictures. For example, if you have 20 pupils you should prepare 10 cards with the clocks and 10 cards with the sentences. Divide the class into two groups. Group A pupils will get cards with clocks depicting 6.00, 6.30, 7.00, 7.30, 8.00, 8.30,
, 10.30, 11.00, 11.30. Group b will have cards with the sen- tences: “it’s six o’clock”, “it’s six thirty”, “it’s seven o’clock”, “it’s seven thirty”, “it’s eight o’clock”, “it’s eight thirty”, “it’s nine o’clock”, “it’s ten thirty”, “it’s eleven o’clock”, “it’s eleven thirty”.
STEP 2: Allocate the cards. Ask the pupils of each group to look at their paper cards. Ask them not to show their cards to each other.
Activity 2b Work in groups. Play “Make a clock line”. 10 min
Objective: to consolidate saying thetime
STEP1:Tell the pupils to imagine a line in the classroom. Point to the place where the line begins and say “This is six thirty”. Then point to a place far from “six thirty” and say “This
is twelve o’clock”.
STEP 2: explain that the pupils should stand along the line in the order of the time and activities they do before they go to school. They will need to look at each other’s cards to find out exactly where they should stand. The pupils should find out who is standing before and after them. When they find their place ask them to stay there until everyone has found the place in the line. STEP3:When the line is ready, the first pupil must say the time and his/her partner must say the activity s/he does at that
time as shown in the example below:
Pupil A: ‘it’s six thirty. (shows the clock face)
Pupil B: ‘it’s time to get up.’
