8 Greenman and the Magic Forest Teacher’s Book STARTER Introduction ZGeneral description of the course Welcome to Greenman and the Magic Forest, a series developed specifically for the needs of Pre-primary pupils. In this dynamic course, pupils learn English through songs and stories, games and hands-on activities related to learning about and caring for the environment and each other. ZObjectives The activities in the Greenman and the Magic Forest course are geared toward Pre-primary abilities, and keep in consideration the wide variety of learning styles within this age group. The stories and activities allow pupils to study English as a means of learning about the world around them, not simply the study of English as English alone. The concepts and objectives help children to make connections between concepts they are learning in other subject areas. ZConcept and characters Greenman, the magical protector of the forest, will introduce children to a delightful English speaking world through stories and songs. Pupils will discover ways to look after the environment, enjoy nature, and cultivate a healthy lifestyle. The course features Greenman, his charming friends, Nico and Sam (two children), Stella (our friendly Phonics snake) and many other forest animals, which will accompany pupils through: • A strong routine based course using seasons and nature as its central themes. • Stories that blend the forest world with recognisable, ‘real life’ settings, to which the pupils can relate. • Catchy songs that use TPR movements (Total Physical Response) to teach vocabulary in a style that pupils will enjoy and remember. • Special Phonics songs to introduce new sounds. • A wide variety of activities designed for Pre-primary abilities, which allow pupils to learn English in synergy with their other subjects. • Age appropriate projects which present the use of English in real situations. ZMethodology Following a holistic approach, the course teaches English as part of the children’s overall learning process. Greenman and the Magic Forest’s lesson structure lends itself naturally to English acquisition. It features: • A unique topic and story for each unit, along with unit values (such as ‘respect’ and ‘recycling’), contrasting concepts (such as ‘strong’ and ‘weak’) and relevant vocabulary to enhance all themes. • Six new vocabulary words, presented in each unit. • Vocabulary, which is continuously recycled and developed throughout the course to build comprehension. • A wide variety of activities to spark children’s enthusiasm and give opportunities for each child to feel a sense of achievement. • Songs that pupils will enjoy singing along with while doing the TPR actions they have learnt in class. Young learners will get to know classroom routines in English with Greenman’s help. They will become used to the language and learn much of it passively. They will be actively involved in repetitive words and phrases that they will hear and use in every class until they are part of their commonly used vocabulary. The songs and games add fun and variety to enhance their first English experience in these very important years of learning. g s orld with reco orld with rec the pupils can re pupils can re PR movements (T ents (T ocabulary in a sty cabulary in a sty r. songs to introduc of activities desi f activities hich allow pupils r other subjects. other subjects. ppropriate projec eal situations. situations. - s and NOT hy ds, Nico ics snake) cs snake) any pupils Young English w Engli language involve involv and FOR e a y words, p words ch is continuou h is continuo he course to build e course to build iety of activities t ety of activities e opportunities fo vement. ngs that pupils w TPR actions TPR ac ners SALEEnglish Englis ss. ructure lends ach unit, along w and ‘recycling’), c nd ‘recycling’) ’ and ‘weak’) a and ‘weak’) a emes. ente

10 Greenman and the Magic Forest Teacher’s Book STARTER ZRoutine Board The magnetic board with removable elements makes a clear focal point for starting each lesson at Routine time. It helps pupils to get involved in identifying routine vocabulary for weather, numbers, colours, shapes and birthdays. Classroom helpers or volunteers enjoy helping the teacher to identify the appropriate element for the routine vocabulary in each lesson. ZFlashcards Flashcards are a key element for this age group as they make connections orally and visually with the vocabulary in English. There are flashcards for the six new vocabulary words in each unit. ZPhonics Flashcards The Phonics Flashcards are used to practise the Phonics sounds and words, throughout the three levels of Greenman and the Magic Forest. These can be used with the Routine Board should the teacher decide to include Phonics as part of Routine time. ZGreenman Puppet Lovable Greenman is a cuddly puppet which the children will associate directly to English learning time in school. Since Greenman only speaks English, children are encouraged to stretch and improve their language skills because they will want to make that effort to communicate with him. ZReward Stickers & Reward Stamp These reinforcement tools are essential in helping children to use English as much as possible in the classroom. By pointing out the pupils’ success in class, the pupils are motivated to continue in their efforts. These components include pictures of the main characters from the book and positive expressions such as: Well done! Great! ZDigital Forest The digital component for interactive whiteboards includes: animated stories, action song videos, interactive flashcards and games. These activities can be used as an extension of the activities in the Teacher’s Book or as a format to alternate between the physical resources and technological ones for variety.

Greenman and the Magic Forest Teacher’s Book STARTER 11 ZStarting the lesson To start the lesson call the pupils to the carpet for circle time. Say Circle time, circle time 1, 2, 3. Circletime, circle time, sit with me! When the children are sitting, have Greenman hide behind your back and peek around you. Pretend that you can’t see him. Teach the target language by saying Where is Greenman? We want to say ‘Hello’. Use hand motions to show ‘hello’ and encourage pupils to join in. Wait for the pupils to say Hello, Greenman! (encourage pupils with gestures). When the pupils say hello to Greenman he ‘comes to life’ with a big stretch and a sigh to greet the pupils. Encourage pupils to stretch with Greenman until he starts the class by saying: Good morning, class! Hello! Model responses for the pupils to repeat Good morning, Greenman! Hello! Next, Greenman will start to sing the Hello song with the class. During the song have Greenman ‘look’ at different pupils as you look at them and encourage them to participate in hand motions for the song. This should be a fun and engaging time! Hello song Put your hand up if you’re ready, Wave and say hello! Hands together if you’re ready, Come on then ... let’s go! The magic forest waits for you. Greenman, Sam and Nico too! Hands up, hello, clap, clap, let’s go! ZRoutines First, Greenman will announce the helper of the day (this could change daily or weekly, in order of the class list, or by choosing names out of a box). Say (Mario), you are today’s helper! Encourage the class to clap and model positive sportsmanship by being happy for the chosen helper as he/she stands next to Greenman (e.g. Very good, (Mario)! Congratulations!) Greenman’s helper will help to place the correct elements on the Routine Board. Say What’s the weather like today? Sing the Weather song with the class. Weather song Hey, hey, let’s all say, What’s the weather like today? Yes or no? Here we go! What’s the weather like today? Is it hot? Is it cold? Is it sunny? Is it raining? Is it cloudy? Is it windy? Is it snowing? Today is … Today is ... Greenman or the class helper can take out different weather elements as Greenman (and the class) say the different types of weather. Encourage the class to join in saying Is it snowing? (pause and give clues by shaking your head) No. Is it raining? No. Continue until you find the correct weather. When the correct one is found, the helper places it on the Routine Board. Do the same to find the season. Next it is time to review colours and shapes with the Routine Board and the audio. The teacher can ask children to point at the different colours in the rainbow when they are mentioned in the song and ask children to find the correct shapes and put them in the correct place on the Routine Board. This is a time to review weather, seasons, birthdays, colours, numbers and shapes. You will need the Routine Board and its removable elements for vocabulary.

So we all want to celebrate! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday to _____ (x2) ZGoodbye After the pupils have finished tidying up and have sat down in their places, be sure to have Greenman say Goodbye to different pupils individually, saying each child’s name if there is time. Next, sing the Goodbye song as a group, with or without the audio track. Goodbye song Thank you, Nico. Thank you, Sam. Thank you Magic Forest and Greenman. See you soon in English class. It’s time to say goodbye. Biddely bye, goodbye. Biddely bye, goodbye. Biddely bye. It’s time to say goodbye! ZTransition chants These chants prepare the children to change activities. There is a different transition chant for: circle time, stand up time (when students need to be on their feet), table time, story time and pop-out time. The children will understand what is expected of them when they hear the chant, and they will learn the words quickly. They may not say all of the words perfectly but the meaning will be conveyed. Circle time: Circle time, circle time, 1, 2, 3. Circle time, circle time, sit with me! Motion a circular shape when you say ‘circle time’. Stand up: Stand up, stand up, 1, 2, 3.

Greenman and the Magic Forest Teacher’s Book STARTER 13 Stories The stories in the Big Book have bright illustrations with contexts that the children will recognise. Regardless of whether they understand every word, they will be able to follow the storyline. The teacher’s enthusiasm for reading is contagious. When you take out the Big Book, convey this excitement with your facial expressions and comments. You can use the story time chant to transition: It’s story time, story time, open the Big Book and look inside. When reading the story, it’s okay to pause throughout and interact with the pupils. Point to pictures in the book to elicit vocabulary Oh, look! What’s this? to count items, identify shapes or invite pupils to repeat a word or phrase from the story when you point to them. If necessary, use L1. If the children identify a picture or concept in L1, nod your head for positive reinforcement and say the word in English. In Lesson 1, only one page of the story will be introduced so that teachers can draw attention to the vocabulary in a context. The children will be able to identify the illustrations with the flashcards that have been presented. You will also build anticipation for the new story, as the pupils will need to wait until the following lesson to see what will happen. In Lesson 2, the story will be read to the class. The teacher can read the story or use the audio track. Repeat or revisit the story a second time telling it in your own words. Begin to have the pupils identify shapes and colours in the illustrations, as well as feelings when possible. In Lesson 3, read the story again, or use the animated video. The pupils may be ready to repeat some of the lines or join in, saying some of the vocabulary. There is also a pop-out activity in this lesson. The pupils can use the pop-outs to act out the story. You can help them by modeling the story with pop-outs and having the pupils repeat after you, and later try it on their own. We want the pupils to show that they understood the story by recreating it, although they may use few English words, or none at all, to start out. In Lesson 6, we revisit the story to consolidate what we’ve learnt in the unit. The teacher can read the story again, watch the animated video and/or re-enact the story again with the pop-outs. The most important aspect of using the Big Book is to make it an engaging and comfortable experience! SAMPLE is? epeat a w epeat a o them. If nece them.

There are six main units per level plus one introductory unit, four review units and four festival units. The introductory unit includes two worksheets found in the Pupil’s Book as well as activities found in the Teacher’s Book with instructions, both to review previous vocabulary and help children to become familiar with the routines in each lesson. Each main unit includes: • One story in the Big Book • Six main worksheets in the Pupil’s Book • Four optional photocopiable worksheets in the Teacher’s Resource Book • Four songs: vocabulary, numbers, Phonics and action song (TPR) Each review unit includes one worksheet in the Pupil’s Book as well as two project templates in the Teacher’s Resource Book. The festival units each offer one worksheet in the Pupil’s Book as well as two photocopiable worksheets in the Teacher’s Resource Book. The Teacher’s Book also includes clear directions for activities and games as well as optional activities to make lessons adaptable for all types of classrooms and timetables. ZUnit Structure The units in Greenman and the Magic Forest follow a very regular and consistent structure which is important for creating a comfortable atmosphere in the classroom and building vocabulary. Each unit is made up of six main lessons, which can be extended with extra activities, games and a review. Each lesson begins and ends with the same routines. The Routine Board will be used in circle time when pupils do warm-up activities and games. The Big Book story introduces six new words, a contrasting concept (e.g. big/small), and new language structure (i.e. Where is (mummy)?). The units will also focus on a specific value and an emotion to be expressed, based on the story. The flashcards, songs and chants, and Pupil’s Book reinforce these concepts. LESSON 1: VOCABULARY Objectives • Present the main vocabulary (six new words per unit) through a song and with the unit’s flashcards • Show the indicated page of the Big Book to introduce the topic • Children complete the first worksheet in the Pupil’s Book as well as an optional activity on the back of the worksheet LESSON 2: STRUCTURES Objectives • Present the new structure through the Big Book story that will be read to the children for the first time • Review key vocabulary featured in the Big Book story • Do a follow-up worksheet in the Pupil’s Book and an optional activity on the back of the worksheet • Do an optional worksheet from the Teacher’s Resource Book Unit Structure Greenman and the Magic Forest Level STARTER © Cambridge University Press 2015 12car Greenman and the Magic Forest Level STARTER © Cambridge University Press 2015 11 bike Greenman and the Magic Forest Level STARTER © Cambridge University Press 2015 train 10 Greenman and the Magic Forest Level STARTER © Cambridge University Press 2015 9 doll Greenman and the Magic Forest Level STARTER © Cambridge University Press 2015 8 teddy Greenman and the Magic Forest Level STARTER © Cambridge University Press 2015 7 ball SAMPLE Magic Forest agic Forest fo ure which is impo ich is impo mosphere in the c osphere in the c up of six main les of six main les tra activities, gam ra activities and ends with th and ends with t ard will be used will be used activities and ga activities and g Big Book story in oncept (e.g. big/s (i.e.Where is (m Where is ( specific value e story.

16 Greenman and the Magic Forest Teacher’s Book STARTER Greenman and the Magic Forest’s lesson structure helps children to build their English comprehension. Its consistent and repetitive structure allows children to predict what’s coming and builds their confidence while facilitating their learning. ZStarting the lesson The Greenman puppet greets the teacher and class. As Greenman only speaks English the pupils associate his presence in the classroom with English time. Together they sing the Hello song each day. Pupils will look forward to greeting the Greenman puppet, and this will prepare them to hear and speak English during the class. They will also enjoy the Greenman and the Magic Forest theme song, Happy Birthday song, Weather song, and Shapes and Colours songs which they will come to know by heart and expect to hear at the appropriate times throughout the lessons. ZRoutines During circle time the Routine Board is used as an aid to focus on weather, seasons, numbers, shapes and birthdays. The Board has removable elements to change each day. The pupils will be familiar with the picture for each type of weather and season and able to recognise them quickly as they are reviewed in each lesson. The teacher holds question and answer sessions using the Greenman Puppet, who invites pupils to join in and answer questions including: What’s the weather like? It’s cloudy. Which season is it? It’s winter. Do we have any birthdays today? It’s (Rebecca’s) birthday! Let’s sing Happy Birthday to (Rebecca)! Is today a special day? Yes, we have a school party! or Yes, there’s pizza for lunch! The teacher can use the audio recordings for all the routines. While the pupils may not be able to say all of these things in a complete way, they will be passively learning the structures and sounds of the language. They will participate in the questions and answers, and by the end of the school year they will be able to produce a great deal of the language. This will also be a time for optional review of the Phonics sounds learnt in class. Revisiting the Phonics flashcards, sounds and words will ensure that these lessons form an integral part of the language skills that the pupils are acquiring. ZActive time The next part of the lesson will focus on interacting with the different objectives of the lesson in a participative way. There will first be a ‘warmer’ in which the unit vocabulary is presented and reviewed using the flashcards. Followed by two activities that include songs, flashcards and games. The objective of active time is to have young learners identify English words or structures in as physical a way as possible. The more senses used and real life connections offered to the children, the better. Many of these activities will involve something with which the children already identify (i.e. an animal that they know, a colour, etc.). The units will introduce contrasting concepts which the children are comfortable with in their native language. For example, working with the contrasting terms of up and down by playing a game in which the pupils jump up or crouch down low while the teacher says up or down. These are concepts that the children are already familiar with and an activity that they enjoy; learning English in this context is fun and meaningful.

Greenman and the Magic Forest Teacher’s Book STARTER 17 ZStory time Being read to from a young age is vital to pupils’ overall success in school and at home. By reading with children and sharing an enthusiasm for reading, children are encouraged to enjoy reading themselves. While very young learners will not likely understand every word used in the stories, they will be able to understand the main ideas of the story and identify the characters and the basic storyline. Greenman and the Magic Forest provides stories that are attractive to pupils and concepts to which they can relate. The Big Book format is especially useful in creating an interesting focal point in which the class can comunicate and share. The teacher’s enthusiasm while telling the story motivates the pupils to participate. Lesson 1 of each unit looks closely at one page of the story, usually the first page. Without going further into the story, the pupils can identify the theme of the new unit and begin to recognise the new vocabulary that Greenman has introduced. In Lesson 2 the complete story is read by the teacher, or listened to on an audio track, or both. There is also an animation in the IWB component (Digital Forest) that teachers can play so that pupils can watch as they listen to the story. The pupils answer questions (with help and prompting) related to the events in the story, to practise the language of the lesson. The Big Book story is then reviewed and used in the other lessons of the unit. ZTable time This is the time when children sit down at their tables to do some pen to paper activities. The Pupil’s Book includes an illustration which is connected to the story, with missing elements for the pupils to complete. The first Pupil’s Book activity of each new unit involves identifying, completing, or drawing pictures of the key vocabulary. The clear connection between the illustrations makes the activities simple and straightforward to explain to pupils. The worksheet activities included use brightly illustrated stickers, colouring, drawing connecting lines, tracing different shapes, and completing picture activities. These activities help make vocabulary connections obvious for pupils while making the worksheet activities feel like games. Children will build fine motor and pre-writing skills, as they draw, circle, colour and connect with lines. There is an optional activity on the back of each worksheet to reinforce the lesson content and provide extra opportunities for the pupils to be creative in the classroom. This is also a very useful tool for teachers to use with fastfinishers. The Teacher’s Resource Book includes optional activities to be used to further develop skills and connections during table time. There are four photocopiable worksheets per unit which work on language, values, skills and Phonics. Each review section contains two photocopiables that show pupils how to make a seasonal project. ZGoodbye Each lesson ends with the same routine of tidying up, while singing the Tidy up song and sitting down in their chairs to sing the Goodbye song to Greenman.

18 Greenman and the Magic Forest Teacher’s Book STARTER Every year, more and more Pre-primary teachers are recognising the usefulness of teaching Phonics in their English classes. For this reason, Greenman and the Magic Forest provides a fully integrated Phonics programme. Z What is Phonics? Phonics is a systematic method for teaching pupils the sounds and letters of English. The 44 phonemes in the English language are taught explicitly, rather than expecting pupils to hear them and ‘pick them up’. By attaching a letter or letters to each phoneme, pupils learn to pronounce all of the sounds of the language at a very young age. Where once pupils used information from L1 to try to pronounce English words, they now recognise that the two languages are different and have separate pronunciation patterns. Z How does it work? Starting with the most simple letters (for example, the s in snake) pupils learn to recognise the most common sound associated with the letter. The letter and the phoneme combined are called a letter sound. Children begin by identifying words starting with the sound (sun, star, stop). Once pupils have learnt several of these letter sounds, they can combine (or blend) the sounds to make simple words (cat, dog, bus). As there are 26 letters in the alphabet but 44 sounds, sometimes two letters are needed to show one sound. Some examples of these spellings are the ai letter sound in rain and the oa letter sound in road. Z Why use Phonics with very young learners? We start teaching Phonics with infants because a child’s sense of hearing is generally very acute and at this age it is much easier to hear and repeat the sounds of another language. Many young children are also very motivated in their efforts to make sense of the world around them and are keen to give meaning to the letters and words they see. By giving children a visual representation of the sound and then practising it through words starting with the letter sound, children are able to remember more vocabulary and are better at pronouncing the new words they learn. Z Greenman and the Magic Forest Phonics sections The course has a Phonics lesson in every unit. Each lesson introduces one or two letter sounds using fl ashcards and an audio recording. Pupils practise them with songs and follow-up activities in the Pupil’s Book. The Phonics Flashcards can be used with the Routine Board to help children remember and revise the letter sounds they have learnt. Since repetition and reinforcement is key to remembering the letter sounds, teachers are encouraged to include Phonics practice between Phonics lessons, and the Phonics Flashcards used with the Routine Board make it easy to integrate this practice as part of the daily routine. A variety of follow-up and reinforcement activities are found in the Teacher’s Resource Book. There are also interactive whiteboard activities to provide extra practice of the letter sounds. Since audio recordings are provided to introduce and practise each letter sound, a teacher can be assured that the pupils are learning the phonemes as they are pronounced by a native speaker. Suggested gestures and dance steps to accompany the songs are found in the Teacher’s Book. The use of movement helps in the recall of the targeted letter sounds, but the main purpose is to increase children’s enjoyment and curiosity during Phonics time so that they pick up the information easily and naturally.

Greenman and the Magic Forest Teacher’s Book STARTER 19 Z For teachers new to Phonics The step-by-step lesson plans in the Teacher’s Book are easy to follow and don’t require Phonics knowledge on the part of the teacher. Once you start using the Phonics lessons you will begin to get a feel for the method. Z Alternative spellings The English language comes from many sources, so sometimes there is more than one way to spell a sound. An example of this is the ai, ay and a_e spelling patterns for the same sound (e.g. rain, day, cake). Of course very young children will find it difficult to read words with alternative spellings. In Greenman and the Magic Forest our objective is that pupils are able to say the sounds and recognise them in key vocabulary rather than in reading words. Z Irregular (or ‘tricky’) words Some words do not follow the spelling patterns. Examples of irregular words are: me, he, she and we (which rhyme with see); come (which rhymes with sum and not with home) and I (which rhymes with my and pie). Although irregular spellings are important when children are learning to read, they are less problematic when using Phonics primarily as a pronunciation tool. Z The English Alphabetic Code with major alternative spellings: Consonants ch sh th / th qu ng / nk chips witch ship chef that / three queen king think Notes: a) x /ks/, qu /kw/ and nk /ngk/ are not pure phonemes. b) the final consonant phoneme ‘zh’ is the voiced ‘sh’ sound (vision, measure). Words with this phoneme are taught as tricky words. a ei o u ant egg bread in on up Z The English Alphabetic Code with major alternative spellings: Vowels Notes: a) ue /yoo/ is not a pure phoneme. b) Words are often irregular because the vowel sound doesn’t follow a spelling pattern e.g. done rhymes with sun; put rhymes with foot; great rhymes with wait and late; you rhymes with do and too; and word rhymes with bird. ay ee ie oa ue oi day rain lake see eat scene pie my light mine boat yellow home cue new cube oil boy ou oo / oo ar or er / / house brown look / moon blue rule park short talk awful autumn her bird nurse sister b c / k d f g h bat rabbit cat kick dog daddy fish puff elephant golf bigger hat j lm n p r jam giraffe orange bridge leg silly map mummy net sunny know pig happy rock hurry write s t v w x y z sun dress horse circle peace top kitty van wind when box yes zoo buzz cheese legs SAMPLEth qu f L t thr Equ /kw/ and kw/ and nk /ng consonant phon onant phon vision, measure). sion, measure). t as tricky words E - OTl NOTite y z yes zoo c ORFe nt egg bread abet ellings: V ellings: y FO SALEmp rhyme ot with home) ugh irregular e learning to read learning to read Phonics primarily cs primarily Code w els
20 Greenman and the Magic Forest Teacher’s Book STARTER Games Bank Greenman and the Magic Forest offers games that can be adapted for a variety of content. Involving games and movement in the classroom helps pupils to use more senses and improves learning and retention. ZHelp Greenman Hold Greenman in front of the flashcard that you hold up, so that he can’t ‘see’ the word. Have pupils act out each word for Greenman to guess. Say Now, quietly (hold your finger to your lips to show ‘quiet’ or ‘shhh’). Show Greenman. Hold up the card, model how to act it out and have Greenman shout the word. Congratulate the class for helping Greenman. Do the same with each flashcard. ZListen and draw Have pupils sit in a circle, each facing the back of another child. Dictate a word or number and the pupils practise drawing it on their friend’s back. ZListen and speak Prepare a box with books, pencils and crayons. Say Greenman, there are (four) books. Greenman puts two books on the floor. The pupil says No, Greenman. There are four books! There aren’t two! and the pupil puts down the correct amount. ZGreenman says Use unit vocabulary to play this version of ‘Simon Says’ using Greenman in place of Simon. For example, say Greenman says: Put your hands up! Greenman says: Put your hands down. Repeat this type of phrase with different parts of the body. Use actions for the unit vocabulary, such as: Greenman says: Go up on the seesaw. The pupils pretend to go up and down on the imaginary seesaw, but only when they hear ‘Greenman says’ before the instruction. Be sure to keep the game fun and not competitive and encourage pupils to say Good job! to children who do well in the game. ZWho’s doing what? Choose six volunteers and ‘secretly’ show each one an action to do. For example, say (Mario), come up please. (whisper) Do this. Gesture wiping the board. Do the same with five other pupils, giving each a different action. With all of the volunteers doing their actions, say What is (Mario) doing? Other pupils raise their hands to guess the action. They may only say it in part, if so, help them to say the complete action. If the pupils have understood, they may raise their hands and say what actions other pupils are doing. Or you can go through pupil by pupil asking the class what each one is doing. ZRemember the cards In this game pupils practise unit vocabulary with the flashcards. Hold two cards out for about five seconds, and then turn the cards around. Say What is this? indicating one of the cards. Call on a volunteer to come up to point to the back of one of the cards and say the word. If they guess correctly, turn the card around. Call on another volunteer to guess the other card. Add a third card or shorten the time if the class guesses the words very easily. ZPass and say This game can be used to revise the vocabulary for one or several units. Have pupils stand or sit in a circle. Give out one flashcard to each pupil (or as many flashcards as you want to practise). Say Now, pass the flashcards. Go. Have pupils pass the flashcards around the circle (all in the same direction) until you say Stop! Say the name of one (or several) pupil(s) and have them say the word for their flashcard(s). Then tell the pupils to pass the flashcards again. Continue until all pupils have had a turn at saying one word. ZThe hoop game This game is similar to the fairground game in which you throw a hoop onto a bottle. In this case, pupils throw a hoop onto a flashcard on the floor and say the word. Place the flashcards face up on the floor. Model how to throw a hoop, in a horizontal position, to land on a flashcard. Say the word, then say OK, (Mario), now you! Have the pupil repeat the activity as you have modeled. Continue SAMPLE until all or most pupils have had a turn. Greenm th different parts erent parts cabulary, such as abulary, such as aw.

Greenman and the Magic Forest Teacher’s Book STARTER 21 ZDraw big and small This game can be used to practise shapes and adjectives. Draw a big triangle on the board. Say What is it? Elicit the response Big triangle. Say Draw a big triangle in the air. Model how to do this and repeat with other shapes until the pupils no longer need the example on the board. Monitor to help pupils who may be struggling. Next, have the pupils draw the shapes in the air as you say them. Model how to draw them with your finger in the air. Say Let’s draw a small circle. Show them how, and encourage those who have done it to help the other pupils to do the same. Repeat with other shapes and sizes. ZMusical pass and say Use the unit flashcards to play this version of ‘Pass the parcel’ using one or more flashcards as the ‘parcel’. Before starting the game, take each flashcard out individually and say Look! A (hat)! Repeat, class, a (hat)! What is it? (A hat). While you say the word use gestures to reinforce the concept (act out putting on a hat). Repeat this process with each card. Have the pupils stand or sit in a circle. Play music (you could use one of the unit songs). Distribute one to six flashcards among the pupils. Pupils pass the flashcard(s) around the circle. Pause the music and whichever pupil is holding the flashcard when the music stops must say the word for that flashcard. If you have given out more than one flashcard, have each pupil holding a flashcard say their word. Repeat until all the pupils have had a turn at saying at least one word. ZTouch the colour This game can be played with any group of colours. If working with purple and pink, for example, set out purple and pink flashcards (or purple and pink objects). Say This is purple, repeat, purple. This is pink, repeat, pink. Repeat this two more times. Choose a volunteer, say Touch purple. Show ‘touch’ by gesturing with your index finger. Help the pupil if they struggle. Choose another volunteer to touch a colour. Repeat with several pupils. ZRoll, jump and say Set out the unit flashcards in a big circle on the floor. Roll a big dice and show the pupils the number. Say A (five)! Stand next to the first card and jump five cards around the circle. Then, say the word for the card you stop next to and have the pupils repeat the word. Say (Lucía), it’s your turn! The pupil rolls the big dice and jumps around the circle the same number of cards as shown on the dice, stops at the number thrown, and says that word. Repeat with different pupils until most (or all) have had a turn. ZChoose and say Have pupils sit in a circle. Spread various flashcards face down in the centre. Model the activity yourself first. Turn over a card and say the word. Choose a pupil, say (Lucía), it’s your turn. Choose a card. Help the pupil to turn over the card and say the word for them to repeat if necessary. Repeat until several pupils have had a turn. ZRoll and review Place the unit flashcards in a horizontal line on the floor, leaving a space below them (about one metre). In this game pupils roll a soft ball to one of the cards and say the word. If the ball doesn’t land on a card, they say the word closest to the ball. Say We’re going to play a game. I stand here (point to the place on the floor where pupils should stand) and roll the ball. (roll the ball gently) I say this word (point to the card closest to the ball). Repeat with different pupils rolling the ball and saying the words until most have had a turn. ZDo the action This game practises the actions and vocabulary from the unit action song. Say a phrase from the song and have pupils try to do the action. Say Show me (knock on the door). Model the action for pupils to copy until the children begin to understand the game. Continue repeating different action words and do part of the action to help if pupils are having difficulty. Repeat with each action from the song until pupils are doing several actions without help. ZCover your face This game practises the vocabulary for emotions. Put both hands in front of your face and say One, two, three. Let’s make a (happy) face! Uncover your face and show your ‘happy’ expression. Gesture to show that you will do the expressions all together as a class (for example by motioning in a circle to include everyone). Now, the pupils will cover their faces at the same time as you. Repeat the same emotion first and follow with sad, angry and scared. ZPlace the mouth on Greenman Prepare in advance a paper ‘smile’ that pupils will be able to stick onto the Greenman puppet with sticky tape. Take out the paper ‘smile’. Invite pupils to guess what the activity will be. It may be familiar to them. Ask for a volunteer, and show how you will cover their eyes and they will put the paper smile on Greenman. Then cover the pupil’s eyes and let them try! Say Greenman is happy! He wants to smile! Encourage each pupil and help the other SAMPLE pupils to do the same. mple, d pink objec d pink obj pink, repeat, pin k, repeat, pin e a volunteer, say g with your index with your index Choose another v hoose another v several pupils. everal pupils. and say e unit flashcards nit flashcards ce and show the d next to the first ext to the first cle.

22 Greenman and the Magic Forest Teacher’s Book STARTER ZShow me happy! Have Greenman say (Mario) show me happy. (Mario) makes his best ‘happy’ face. Greenman continues calling on different children, asking them to show different emotions. Be sure to help children if they don’t know the emotion right away, and encourage them to help each other as well. Continue until each pupil has had a turn. (Optional: you can choose volunteers to tell you which emotion to show, or call a volunteer up to say the emotions for their classmate to do.) ZHold up the correct number This game practises numbers and classroom objects. Say a sentence such as There are three crayons. and have pupils hold up the correct number of items. Prepare pupils for the activity by passing out enough crayons (or another item) for each child to hold up four. Say There are three crayons. Help one pupil to count and hold up three crayons. Encourage the other pupils to do the same. Repeat with different numbers. ZListen and touch the words This game practises the unit vocabulary using the flashcards. Have pupils sit in a large circle and place the flashcards face up in the centre of the circle. Choose a volunteer to model the game with you. Have Greenman say a vocabulary word (for example, restaurant), and run with the volunteer to touch the word. Exaggerate your movements to clearly show the volunteer what to do. Say Well done! Class, repeat (restaurant). Now, call on two pupils to ‘run’ to the next word. Repeat with each flashcard (or wordcard) and different groups of pupils. Encourage pupils to say Good job! after their classmates’ turns. Z Find the number Have pupils sit in a big circle on the floor. Prepare different classroom objects (pencils, crayons, books, etc.) making sure you have at least four of each. Place the objects in the centre of the circle. Choose small groups of pupils to find the correct number of items. Say (Mario), (Lucía), (Iván), can you give me three pencils? Have the pupils repeat Here you are. after you as they hand you the objects. Repeat with different objects and different groups of pupils. To play the game in smaller groups rather than as a class, prepare number cards before the lesson. Give out one set of number cards for each group of four to six pupils, and have pupils take turns to choose a number card. When you say an item, the pupil whose turn it is counts out the same number of that item as they have on the number card. Z Hide and seek This game can be played indoors (using the flashcards) or in the playground and practises the unit vocabulary and basic prepositions. Have the pupils close their eyes while you hide Greenman somewhere in the playground (outdoors) or by a flashcard (indoors). Say I will hide Greenman. (hide him behind your back to show ‘hide’) You will close your eyes, (cover your eyes) open them (uncover your eyes) and say (slide) if Greenman is here, (walk Greenman to the slide or slide flashcard). Say OK, close your eyes. (put Greenman by the slide) Open your eyes. Where is Greenman? The sandpit? No. The seesaw? No. Continue until children have ‘found’ Greenman. Repeat with other words. Z Listen and point Stick the unit flashcards on the walls around the classroom. Sing the unit song and have pupils point to the different items when they hear the word in the song. Say Point to the picture! Model how to do this the first time through the song, then have pupils join in. Z The ostrich game Have pupils sit in a big circle on the floor. Bring two volunteers to the centre of the circle. Use a clothes peg to attach a flashcard to one pupil’s back, make sure they don’t turn around or look at the flashcard. Do the same with a different flashcard on the back of the second pupil. Say Don’t look! Act like you are looking at something on your own back and shake your finger ‘no’. Show each volunteer the other one’s back so that they know what the flashcard is. Make sure that they each know the word, if not, whisper it to them. Say Now, (Lucía), what’s your card? Say Is it (hand)? Point to your hand. Have the pupil repeat the question. Help the other pupil to answer Yes or No. Have the pupils take turns asking questions until they guess their own flashcard. Repeat several times with different pupils. Z Musical statues This game can be used to practise actions or any verbs presented in the lesson. Have pupils stand up. First say and model each action and have the pupils practise for a short time. Repeat, but this time play music after saying the action. Every so often, pause the music, say Stop! and change the action. Repeat each action various times. SAMPLE on the floor. Prep e floor. Prep , crayons, books, crayons, books our of each.

Greenman and the Magic Forest Teacher’s Book STARTER 23 Z Follow the leader This game practises clothing vocabulary and actions. Have pupils follow you in a line doing the action that you say. Say Let’s jump. Pupils continue jumping until you say Stop! and another action. Jump as many times as you would like. When you choose to stop say Stop! Now put on your (hat)! Repeat Put on your (hat)! Continue walking, jumping, swimming etc. to the next place and say Stop! Take off your (hat)! Repeat with the different clothing items, modeling each action. Z Jump to the word Use the unit flashcards or draw pictures of the target vocabulary items on the board before starting this game. In this game, pupils jump to the correct word and touch it. Choose one volunteer to demonstrate. Model the game yourself first. Say Let’s play a game. I say a word: (slide)! You jump to the board and touch the picture. (Mario), let’s play. Touch (slide). Help the pupil by continuing to model what to do. When they have touched the correct picture, say Well done! Let’s line up to play! Have the pupils line up and take turns touching the word that you say. If a pupil chooses the incorrect picture, help him/her to find the correct one. Z Roll and say Have pupils sit in a big circle on the floor and set out the unit flashcards in a smaller circle in the middle. In this game pupils roll a big dice and move a counter around the circle of flashcards. When the counter lands on a flashcard, the pupil tries to say that word. Give pupils a counter each. Model the game first with one pupil, say Roll the dice! Have the child count the correct number on the face of the dice, and then move the counter the correct number of flashcards around the circle. The pupil then says the word/phrase for the flashcard that they land on. If the pupil struggles, act out the vocabulary or whisper the word. Repeat with different pupils until most (or all) have had a turn. SAMPLE - NOT FOR SALEls a il, say il, say Ro ber on the er on the r the correct The pupil then sa he pupil then sa t they land on.

24 Greenman and the Magic Forest Teacher’s Book STARTER Home-school Connection Teachers may want to send individual worksheets from the Pupil’s Book or from the Teacher’s Resource Book, as well as other completed projects that they have done in class, home with the pupils, throughout the school year or at the end of each term. Learning is always best when there is lots of support. Greenman and the Magic Forest offers ways for parents to see, on a regular basis, what their child is working on in class and provides simple ways for the parent to support this process at home. The Pupil’s Book is designed with ‘tear off’ pages so pupils can take their work home after each lesson to share work they are proud of with their families. With positive reinforcement from home and school, the pupil will develop self-confidence in general, and specifically in regards to their grasp of English. All of the songs and stories in Greenman and the Magic Forest that the pupils learn in class, are available on our page www.cambridge.org/greenman. Pupils can listen to the stories, sing the songs and do the actions at home, just like they do in class. The Greenman App, which contains games and songs, is also available for families to download and enjoy! The children’s families do not need to speak English to support their child. By simply asking about their work, admiring what they share from class and inviting them to listen and sing the songs at home they are sending the message that learning English is important to them. They can also share in the fun by letting their children teach them some of the actions in the songs.
