Ending the lesson
- (An activity to revise the words from Unit 9a.)
Children are in pairs. Provide each child with a sheet of paper. Assign one of the toys from the unit and ask them to draw the item. One draws a big toy and the other draws a small toy. e.g. a small car, a big car. Invite children to tell you about their pictures (e.g. I ’ve got a big car, Anna’s got a small car.)
