the Door” Chant (song #140) as you open the door.
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. 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 window. The scarf is near the door, 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.
