Let´s buy a robot!!!!!
The aim of
this activity is to work on:greetings,introductions, spelling,age, place of
origin, feelings, imperative, abilities, non- abilities.
3- Tell each of them what they are supposed to do.
4- For example: The customer wants to buy a robot that can do different things at home such as: clean the house, open the window, close the door, sing, dance, play the guitar, sweep, cook, make the beds, iron, answer the phone, etc.
The shop assistant will call each robot and give them instructions.
Each robot will have to greet, introduce himself, spell his name, talk about his age, place of origin and when he is given an instruction he will have to perform the activity and say what he can or can´t do.
For instance:
Shop assistant: Good morning, Can I help you?
Customer: Yes,
please. I´d like to buy a robot.
Shop assistant:
O.k. Robot 1. Come here, please. Talk!Robot: Hello, My name is Roberto. R-o-b-e-r-t-o. I´m six years old. I´m from Argentina.
Customer: Can he
sweep?
Shop assistant:
Roberto: sweep, pleaseRobot: I can sweep. I can sweep very well
Shop assistant: Can he cook?
Shop assistant: Roberto:Please, cook, cook quickly
Robot: I can cook quickly (Encourage kids to speak like robots. They love doing that an
they enjoy a lot!).
Then, the activity goes on with the rest of the robots. Finally, the customer chooses one robot and buys it. So they will be practising different functions such as: How much is it? Here you are, thank you, you are welcome.
5- As homework, you can ask students to draw a robot and all the activities he can or
can´t do. On the following class, they will be talking about their robots. In this way, they would be working on third person singular but consolidating the same vocabulary and structures they had already worked on their previous class.
6- This activity can be adapted in order to recycle 1-likes and dislikes, imperative (orders).
The shop assistant giving an order and the robot expressing likes and dislikes:
Shop assistant: Clean the house, please
Robot: I don´t like cleaning houses. I like
sleeping.
2- Present continuous (actions now)
The owner of the robot is checking what the robot is doing. For example:
Owner: Where are you? Are you cleaning the windows?
Robot: No, I´m not. I´m cleaning the doors.
In this case you could give both the owner and the robot flashcards showing the activity.
They can create their own robots and add information about them. They can use Paint, Libre Office or Power Point Presentation.
