1, 2, 3, 4, who is knocking at the door?
5, 6, 7, 8, come on in – it’s getting late.
9, 10, 9, 10, don’t be late for class again.
The pupil enters the room and looks for the object.
As they approach the object, the class says HOT. As they move away from the
object, the class says COLD.
When the pupil finds the object, they must say where it is, using a preposition:
The hat is under the desk. The scarf is on the chair, etc.
If the pupil answers correctly, they choose the next pupil to play.
Do this several times with different pupils. Change the object you are hiding and
the hiding place each time.
This game can be played as a competition where two pupils from different teams
need to find the object before their competitor.
