ACTIVITY 2

Preparing for a day in an English primary

school

Dressing a puppet in a school uniform

(suitable for GS I)

Materials:

- puppet and differently coloured clothes

(jumpers, shirts, skirt, shoes…) out of

laminated paper

Teaching aims:

The pupils should remember and select the parts

of a school uniform.

The pupils should name the parts of the school uniform.

The pupils should imagine and act out the preparations of an English pupil.

Procedure:

The pupils work in pairs. Each two pupils get a puppet and clothes out of

paper. They have to select the parts of the school uniform out of the various

clothes and dress the puppet alternately. It is essential to say the sentence:” I

put on my…” while dressing the puppet.

Teacher’s language:

Get together in pairs. Look at all of these clothes! Which of them do you need

for a school uniform? Take them and dress the puppet correctly. But be

careful, you always have to say the sentence: “I put on my… black shoes, for

example.” along with putting on a piece. One of you starts and then it is the

turn of the other one. Okay, Lisa? You put on one piece of clothing, your

neighbour Elena puts the next one on, then it is your turn again.
