Cooking is always a good activity to introduce English.
As with the other Kids English themes, there aren't any picture cards,
so the easiest way to teach it is to play the 20 minute video. This then
leads into the song, which you can sing in class whilst miming the actions
( like in the video)
Game
This is a very simple karuta style game. The idea is that you are cooking one of meals from the video
and are asking the kids if they can see the things you need e.g. "Can
you see the lettuce". For small groups you can use the vocab pictures
in the back of the picture book, or for larger classes try making some
large A4 cards from a clipart collection ( such as Microsoft Word or Clipart.com
)
On the CD we also explain the game rules in Japanese ( just in case!),
and run through several variations of the game.
Picture Book: "The Big Chocolate Cake"
As with the other Kids English theme, once the kids have learnt the song
they can easily understand the picture book, even in one 45 minute lesson.
On the CD there are three recordings of the narration, chose the one according
to the kids mood from "Parentese" ( really slow and clear), "Normal"
or "Genki".
This theme is available in the Genki English "Kids English" set!
