The basic idea with this theme was to throw in as many animals as possible,
and with repeated exposure the kids will hopefully pick up as many as possible.
Included with the set is a cardboard cut out camera. If you have a large
class, it's a good idea to make your own for each kid in the class, they
can then take photos of the different animals as you watch the video or
read the picture book. This is very popular with the kids, a sort of "shoot-em-up"
but more environmentally friendly!
For the song, try pasting pictures of various animals around the classroom, then as the kids hear the animal's name, they have to find it and take a picture.
Game
The game for this theme is simply a game of charades. Play the video first
of all and get your students to guess what the kids in the video are miming.
Then let them have a go miming some animals themselves and seeing if their
classmates can guess what they are. Very simple but always a hit with younger
kids.
On the CD we also explain the game rules in Japanese ( just in case!),
and run through several variations of the game.
Picture Book: "Photo Safari"
There's a lot of word play in this book, which makes it fun to listen to.
e.g.
"Say cheese!"
"Cheese," says the cow.
"Say cheese, Sally Sheep!"
"Cheese," she says.
"Say cheese, Penny Pig!"
"Say please!" says the pig!
But as with the other Kids English themes, 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!
