Speaking Part 5
Warmer
Play Hangman to warm the class up and review the phrases for hobbies.
Divide the class into two teams. Draw a line for each letter in your chosen word on the board.
Invite children from each team in turn to guess one of the missing letters. If the team correctly guesses a missing
letter, write the letter on the correct line(s) on the board. If the team guesses a letter which is not in the word, draw
the first part of a simple picture (e.g., a flower with five petals, a stem and two leaves / a house with three windows,
a door and a chimney).
If a team guesses the word before you have completed the picture, award them one point. If not, continue the game
with another word.

Ask the class to say what words they can remember for daily routines. Write their suggestions on the board.
Ask the children which things they do every day and when they do them.
Starters tip
In Part 3 of the Starters Reading and Writing Test, teach learners to look at the pictures and try to think of words
which match each picture and how those words are spelled, before they look at the sets of jumbled letters. This way,
they will have an idea of what they are looking for when they look for the correct set of jumbled letters. They can
practice with the following activity.
1 Look at the letters. Write the words under the pictures.
Point to the pictures and ask the children to say what each picture represents.
Point to the jumbled words above the pictures. Tell the class to unscramble the letters and write the words below the
correct pictures. Remind the children to cross out the letters as they write them to make sure that they use all the
letters and that they use each letter only once.
Allow the children time to complete the activity on the page. Move around the class as the children work and help if
necessary.
Check answers by asking children around the class to say and spell the words.

2 Draw lines and make five sentences about you.
Read the words in the four columns.
Explain that the children should draw lines to match the words and phrases and make five sentences which are true
for them. Tell them to use a word or phrase from each column in each of their sentences and tell them to try to use a
different verb in each sentence.
Allow the children time to link their sentences on the page, and then ask children around the class to read their
sentences.

Children’s own answers
Writing Extension (Optional activity)
Dive the class into pairs.
Tell the children to write five more sentences individually about their daily routines on the page, and then compare
their sentences with their partner to see whether they do or don’t do any of the same activities at the same times.
Our daily routines (Optional activity)
Tell the children to write three sentences about things they do in the morning, three sentences about things they do
in the afternoon, and three sentences about things they do in the evening.
The children work in pairs and take turns asking and answering to find out what their partners do in the
morning/afternoon/evening. E.g., A: Do you have breakfast in the morning? B: Yes, I do. Do you ride your bike to
school in the morning? A: No, I don’t. Do you … etc.
The children can then tell the class what their partner does in the morning, afternoon and evening.
Starters tip
Learners should be able to give short answers using appropriate structures. This will help them in Part 5 of the
Starters Speaking Test. Students can practice this in the following.
Question round (Optional activity)
Ask yes/no questions to children around the class, using a variety of structures. For example: Can you swim? Do you
have brown hair? Do you have breakfast in the morning? Do you like playing tennis? Does your mom have blue eyes?
Can your dad play football?
Encourage the children to give short answers using the appropriate structures.
As an extension, ask the children to write five questions for their partner, using different structures. The children can
then ask and answer questions in pairs.

Starters tip
As correct spelling is required in the Starters Reading and Writing Test, encourage learners to write clearly. It may be
better if they print rather than use cursive writing.
Read this. Choose a word from the box. Write the correct word next to numbers 1–5. There is one example.
Tell the children to look at the example. Point to the picture of the baby and read the text up to the word hair. Ask
the class to look at the pictures and words in the box and find the word hair. Show the class how the word hair has
been chosen from the box and written on the line as an example.
Tell the class to read the text, look at the pictures, and then chose the word from the box which fits in each blank (1–
5).
Tell the children to cross out the words in the box as they use them. Remind them to write clearly and to check their
spelling when they have finished writing the words.
Allow the children time to complete the test on the page.
Check answers by asking children around the class to say, and then spell, the words. If you like, you can ask children
around the class to read sentences from the text.

Unit test
Testing and evaluation
There are twelve one-page Unit tests which cover the vocabulary and grammar content presented in each core unit.
Each test contains vocabulary activities and grammar activities. The Unit tests can be administered at the end of each
unit.
Administering a test
Testing is an important part of the teaching/learning process. Students can become anxious about tests, so it is
important to create a calm and supportive environment. Before giving a test, have a quick warm-up session on the
language to be covered in the test. Explain the scoring system to the class so that they feel responsible for their own
learning process. All the Unit tests in Family and Friends Special Edition Grade 2 have a total of 15 points.
