Ask different pupils: Do you like to listen to music? Do you like to play music?
For each word, ask pupils to say if the word is a verb (action word), noun (person, place, or thing),
or adjective (describing word).
Point out to pupils that the word "play" in English has two meanings. Give sentences to illustrate
the two meanings: I play football. I play the guitar.
Have pupils point to and read each new word in their Course Books on pages 106/107.
Word Workout (suffix -er): Tell pupils that "-er" at the end of a verb can sometimes change the
meaning to "a person who does the action." Write the words on the board to give the examples:
sing/singer, play/player. Elicit from pupils any other words that follow this pattern.

The Longest Sentence (VA #19)
▪
▪
Have pupils work in small groups/pairs to write a sentence that uses as many new or review
words as they can (logically). Give an example to demonstrate: The singer in the famous band
hears music on the radio.
When they are finished, have groups/pairs share their sentence with the class. The group with
the sentence that uses the most reviewed/new words wins.
