§2.1. LESSON PLAN + HANDOUTS
1. Play vocab flashcard treasure hunt.Before class, prepare flashcards of the
vocab from the song (walk, bus, bicycle, car, train, boat, airplane, rocket) and hide
them around the classroom – behind a chair, on the window sill, in a book, etc. In
class, sit your students down and start hunting around the room, gesturing that you
are looking for something. "Find" one of the flashcards and look relieved and
happy to have found it. Indicate that there are 7 more flashcards to find and get
everyone to hunt around the room helping you to look for the flashcards. Once all
of the flashcards have been found sit everyone down again. 2. Teach transport
vocab.On the board, draw a simple picture of your school at one end of the board
and your home a simple house at the other. Alternatively, you can use p hotos of
both. Tell your students what each place is This is our school – here!", "This is my
house. I live here!" maybe draw a picture of yourself above the house You are
going to teach the vocab in order of the song you are going to sing a bit later on.
Pull out the first card "walk". Put the card on the board between the school and
your house. Say slowly "I got here on foot on foot on foot.", whilst doing the song
gesture of walking on the spot. Get all of your students to stand up and walk on the
spot as they say "on foot on foot .Next pull out the bus flashcard and rep lace the
walk flashcard with it on the board. This time say "I got here
by bus by bus by
bus" whilst doing the song gesture of driving a bus and beeping the horn. Get all of
your students to stand up and pretend to drive a bus and beep the horn as they say
"by bus … by bus .Continue doing this for all of the cards and actions of the songs.
For the last one – "rocket" – get everyone to count down from 10 to 1 and then
jump as they blast off!3. Play "Vocab Art Gallery"If you have just a few students,
draw some squares on the board in a row for each student to draw in (these are
their picture frames). You’ll need one square (or picture frame) per stu dent.Make
sure the squares are at a good height so everyone can reach.If you have a lot of
students, give each student a piece of paper and have them draw 8 boxes (p icture

Gestures for "How Did You Get Here Today? Some simple actions can be used
with this song:Do the question pose (palms up, puzzled look on face) for the
question “How did you get here today?”, but point downwards (to the ground) for
the “here” part.As the song plays do the following actions:• on foot: walk on the
spot.• by bus: pretend to drive a bus and beep the horn.• by bicycle: p retend to be
cycling and ring a bell.• by car: pretend to drive a car and beep the horn.• by train:
do the train gesture – moving your hands around like a wheel and “chu -chu”ing.•
by boat: do wave motions with your hands.• by airplane: pretend to be an airp lane
by holding your arms right out.• by rocket: put your arms above your head, finge r
tips touching to make a rocket shape. Keep this shape for the countdown and then
jump for the blast off. We also have a video that you can stream in class to sing
along with (Internet connection required):6. Practice asking and answering "How
did you get here today?" with a class survey.Before class, p rint out the How Did
You Get Here Today? Survey. Draw enough columns for each student in the class
and write their names at the top. Then copy enough for all of your students.Start by
modeling – hold up your survey and point out the names at the top. Choose one
student and ask "How did you get here today?". Elicit a full answer E.g. "I got here
by bus" and show everyone how to fill in the survey by drawing a circle in the
correct cell. Do with a few students until everyone understands. If someone gives
an impossible answer e.g. rocketshow an expression
of shock and then say,
"Noooo, that can’t be right!" and have a laugh, but try to elicit their true answer.
Then, give out a survey to everyone.First, get everyone to find their own name and
circle their answer. Then get everyone to mingle about asking and answering and
filling in their surveys. When everyone has finished, complete your survey sheet
by asking the class for the answers e.g. "How did Naomi get here today?".Wrap
