Explain that we use I see a… to describe one animal. When we refer to more than one animal,
we delete the word a, meaning one, and we add an s to represent the plural form. Compare
this to the way singular and plural nouns are distinguished in L1. Ask: How many camels do
you see? Write the answer on the board. I see __ camels.
• Repeat this for the other animals/sea life from the map, writing each sentence on the board,
as above.
NOTE: Track1 on the CD includes the Superkids' theme song which will be played later.
Track 2 includes the two review songs: Ten Little Animals and Look at the Rainbow.
•
Ten Little Animals (Track 2)
One little, two little, three little animals
Four little, five little, six little animals
Seven little, eight little, nine little animals
Ten little animals.

Hand out the word and number cards for numbers 1-10 randomly to 20 pupils.
Play CD Track 2 and sing the song with the class while having pupils stand up each time their
number is heard. Pupils, who make a mistake by standing at the wrong time, or not standing,
are "out" and their card goes to another pupil.
REVIEWING COLORS
Read aloud Lucy's question: What colors do you see? Review the colors red, yellow, pink, green,
purple, orange, blue, black, brown, white, gray. Do Activity 4 to review colors.
Activity 4:
• Draw the outline of a rainbow on the board with 12 bands. Color the twelve bands with colored
chalk or stick colored paper on the corner of each band to indicate the color of the band. Put
a color word card in each band.
• Play CD Track 2 (Look at the Rainbow) and point to the appropriate cards that are mentioned
in the song.
• Have pupils sing the song with you, each time inviting another pupil to the board to point to the
cards as the colors are sung.
• Place one set of color word cards on each side of the rainbow on the board in random order.
• Call on two pupils to come to the board, and when you say Go, instruct them to put the word
cards next to the correct color on the rainbow. The winner is the first pupil to finish reading the
colors in the correct order.
• Repeat the game each time, changing the order of the colors on the rainbow.
Activity 5 (Group Competition):
• Prepare a set of word cards for all 12 colors.
• Divide the class into two groups. Give each group a six cards and scotch tape.
• Explain that you are going to give them time to find the different colors somewhere in the room
and stick the word card onto the appropriate color, e.g. a clothing item on a pupil or a picture
in the room etc.
