Henry & Lucy Teacher's Guide - Book - Page 34
section in this world map represents one of the adventures that Henry and Lucy will have. Begin
by focusing on the area of the sky. Introduce the words with word cards and place them on the
poster: sky, moon, stars, rainbow. Have pupils repeat the words after you. Elicit that all the
adventures are in the realm of fantasy and imagination.
REVIEWING NUMBERS
Activity 1:
• Introduce pupils to Henry and Lucy on pages 10-11.
•
Review the numbers 1-10. Play Track 2 (Ten Little Animals) and sing along with pupils.
• Place the word and number cards for numbers 1-10 on the board and have pupils count in
order as you point to each number.
• Point to the numbers in random order and have pupils say the correct number.
• Practice counting backward with the class aloud, together.
• Place the word and number cards for numbers 11-15 on the board and have pupils count in
order as you point to each number. Continue the review as for numbers 1-10 above.
• Write the numbers 16-20 on the board and point out the “teen” to the numbers six, seven,
eight, nine. Add the number twenty.
• Read Lucy’s question aloud: How many animals do you see? Have pupils count the animals
and tell the class how many they counted.
Activity 2:
• Call on 15 pupils to come to the front of the class.
• Hand each one a word card of the numbers 1-15. Have them first stand in order, each saying
their number. Then have them scramble themselves, standing in random order.
• Randomly hand out number cards from 1-15 to another 15 pupils in the class.
• Now ask pupils with the number cards to find their partners with the matching word cards, and
to stand in a row in the correct order. Repeat with other pupils if time allows.
REVIEWING ANIMALS
Activity 3:
• In pairs, have pupils try to name the animals that appear on the map on pages 10-11 and
count them. (a cheetah, a zebra, a giraffe, camels, an elephant, a tiger, a monkey, fish, an
octopus, a shark, a dolphin, a dragon, a panda, a parrot)
• Choose 10 animals and write their names on the board with a number from 1 to 10. Play a
vocabulary game. Ask the class: What number is the dragon? Have individuals respond: The
dragon is number _. Then encourage the whole class to repeat. Do the same for all of the
listed animals.
• Play The Chain Game (Game 1)
Model this game by inviting six pupils to the front of the class. Have a pupil in the group say
the name of an animal s/he recognizes. Each pupil repeats what was said previously, adding
one more animal. Pupil number six will have to say the names of five animals and add one
more. E.g. I see a camel, a zebra, a panda, a giraffe, an elephant, and a parrot. Then arrange
pupils into groups of six and have them play the game in small groups.
