Session 1: Vowel Listen to the audio 🎧 version of this class in മലയാളം or in हिंदी . Session Title  Vowel Adventure Objective Identify vowels and their sounds to strengthen phonemic awareness and categorization skills. Practice self-management by independently sorting words and setting personal goals for improvement. Self-Regulation: Encourages focus and attention during the task. Topics Exploring Vowels: Identifying and Sorting Vowel Sounds Material Required   Flashcards - For showing Picture whiteboard / Board  chalk or Marker Worksheet Methodology Teaching Through Games and Song Session Duration 90 minutes Introduction Activity (10 minutes): Greeting Teacher: Good morning, everyone! Before we get started, I’d love to know—how’s everyone feeling today? Can you share one word to describe your mood today? Main Activity (60 minutes): Vowel Songs (40 minutes) Introduction  Begin by explaining to the students that vowels are special letters in the alphabet: A, E, I, O, U. These letters make unique sounds that help form words. Tell the students they will learn the vowel sounds through a fun song. Sing the Song  Sing the song slowly and clearly for each verse (A, E, I, O, U). Encourage the students to sing along. You can clap or add some simple hand motions to make it more engaging. After singing each verse, repeat it a few times so that students can memorize the pattern.  Your browser does not support the audio element. Verse 1:  A says “ah,” “ah,” “ah,” A says “ah,” “ah,” “ah,” Every time you see an A, It says “ah,” “ah,” “ah,” A says “ah,” “ah,” “ah.”  Repeat Verse 2: E says “eh,” “eh,” “eh,” E says “eh,” “eh,” “eh,” Every time you see an E, It says “eh,” “eh,” “eh,” E says “eh,” “eh,” “eh.”  Repeat Verse 3: I says “ih,” “ih,” “ih,” I says “ih,” “ ih,” “ih,” Every time you see an I, It says “ih,” “ih,” “ih,” I says “ih,” “ih,” “ih.”  Repeat Verse 4: O says “ah,” “ah,” “ah,” O says “ah,” “ah,” “ah,” Every time you see an O, It says “ah,” “ah,” “ah,” O says “ah,” “ah,” “ah.” Repeat Verse 5:  U says “uh,” “uh,” “uh,” U says “uh,” “uh,” “uh,” Every time you see a U, It says “uh,” “uh,” “uh,” U says “uh,” “uh,” “uh.”  Practice and Repeat  Have the students take turns singing the verses. They can practice alone or in small groups to reinforce their understanding of vowel sounds. Vowel/non vowel sorting game (20 minutes) How to play  1.Prepare the Flashcards (Pictures): Collect pictures of objects or things that have names starting with vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and others that don't. You can take your own pictures or find images online. For example, pictures of an apple (vowel), dog (non-vowel), ice cream (vowel), elephant (vowel ), Car ( non-vowel ), book (non-vowel)  2.Create the Sheet for Students: Draw a table with three columns on a sheet of paper. Label the columns: Column 1: Name  Column 2: Vowels Column 3: Non-vowels Leave space under each column for students to write their answers. 3.How the Game Works (With Flashcards ): Show a Flashcard to the students. You can either show the full image or just describe it first. Students will say the name of the object aloud. Then, they need to identify if the first letter in the word is a vowel (A, E, I, O, U) or not a vowel (meaning it’s a consonant). They should write the name of the object in the appropriate column (either Vowels or Non-Vowels). 4. Example Flashcards : Apple, Elephant, Ice cream, Book, Dog, Car.  Printable sheet to distribute to students. Example Flashcards: Follow-Up Activity (10 minutes):  Vowel Writing Practice Objective: Practice writing words that begin with vowels and non-vowels. Instructions: Provide each student with a worksheet that has a list of words with missing letters. For each word, students should fill in the missing vowel to complete the word. Example: S m _ l e → Smile B r _ t h _ r → Brother b _ _ k → Book _ c e c r _ a m → Ice cream  _ m b r _ l l _ → Umbrella Have students focus on identifying the missing vowel and writing it in the correct spot. Extension: Ask the students to create their own 2 words with missing vowels, then exchange worksheets with a classmate to solve. Review Questions (10 minutes): What are the five vowel letters? → A, E, I, O, U Which vowel sound do you hear at the beginning of the word “elephant”? → /e/ Is the word “dog” a vowel word or a non-vowel word? Why? → Non-vowel word, because it starts with D, a consonant. Fill in the missing vowel: _ p p l e → A → Apple Name two words that start with a vowel. → Example: Ice cream, Umbrella Expected Learning Outcome: Knowledge Building: Students will identify the five vowels: A, E, I, O, U. Students will recognize the sounds each vowel makes. Students will enhance phonemic awareness by connecting letters to their vowel sounds. Students will understand the difference between vowel and non-vowel sounds in words. Skill Building: Students will improve auditory discrimination by listening for vowel sounds at the beginning of words. Students will practice organizing and sorting words into vowel and non-vowel categories. Students will strengthen writing skills by completing and creating words with missing vowels. Students will demonstrate self-management by completing tasks independently and staying focused during games and writing activities. Session 2 : Blending Vowel - Part 1 Session Title Mastering Vowels: A Fun and Engaging Phonics Journey Topic Vowel Blend - Part 1 Objective Identify and recognize vowels (ai, ee, oa, ie, ue) in words. Pronounce words with vowel blends correctly. SEL - Communication skill, Critical thinking Methodology Teaching through Activities  Materials  Flash Cards chart paper Picture cards  worksheet  Board and chalk Session Duration  90 minutes  Introduction Activity (10 minutes):  Step 1: Greeting the Students Teacher: Good morning, everyone! How are you all today? Wait for students to respond and encourage them to greet back. Step 2: Expressing Feelings Teacher: I am so excited to be here with you today because we are going to learn something really fun about vowels! Teacher: Can you show me with your thumbs how you are feeling today? Thumbs up if you're happy, sideways if you're okay, and down if you're a little tired. Step 3: Encouraging Student Responses Teacher: Can anyone tell me one thing that made you happy today? Let a few students share their thoughts. Step 4: Connecting to the Lesson Teacher: Just like we are talking and sharing our feelings, words also have sounds that work together. Today, we will explore special vowels that work together in words! Main Activity (50 minutes): Introduction (15 minutes) Vowels are essential for reading, writing, spelling, and speaking. They help us understand words correctly and make communication clearer. That is - (ai, ee, oa, ie, ue)   Show flashcards of (ai, ee, oa, ie, ue). Teach one at a time: ai → rain, train, sail [3 min] ee → tree, feet, see [3 min] oa → boat, coat, road [same] ie → pie, tie, cries [same] ue → blue, glue, true [same] Flashcards to print: Emphasize that the first vowel says its name, and the second one is silent. Vowel Blend Relay (30 minutes) Materials Needed: Chart Paper – Draw columns labeled ai, ee, oa, ie, ue like a table. Flashcards – Each word should have 3 copies. Double-sided tape – To stick the flashcards on the chart.  Game Steps (Step-by-Step Guide) Setup: Place the Chart Paper and Flashcards in the same location (at the front of the class, on a board, or on a table). Spread out the flashcards face down (so students cannot see the words). Start the Game: The teacher calls out a word aloud. All students must quickly listen and identify the vowel blend in the word. Pick and Stick: Students rush to find the correct flashcard with the word the teacher called out. They pick the flashcard and stick it under the correct Vowel Blend column. Since each word has 3 flashcards, up to 3 students can participate at the same time. Corrections if Needed:  If a student sticks a word in the wrong column, others can help correct it.    Who Wins?   The students who place the most words correctly and quickly are the winners!  Everyone gets a chance to play, making it both fun and educational. Words:  [5 min Break Time]  Follow-Up Activity (25 minutes): Independent Practice (10 minutes)  Ask students to create words using the vowel blends written on the board. This will help them recognize the sounds of letters and form new words independently. Fill in the Blanks (15 minutes)  Provide worksheets with missing letters. Write the vowel teams (ai, ee, oa, ie, ue) on the board. Give students a worksheet to complete.  Example: B_ _ t (Boat) Tr_ _ (Tree) H_ _ r (Hair) Fl_ _ ncy (Fluency) S_ _ p (Soap) L_ _ (Lie) F _ _ t (Feet) Sh_ _ p (Sheep) R _ _ d (Road) B _ _ (Bee) Students will identify the missing letter by showing their pictures. Ask students to fill in the missing letters from the given vowel teams. Conclusion  Teacher: Great job today, everyone! You did an awesome job learning about vowel teams like ai, ee, oa, ie, and ue. These help us read, write, and spell better. Can anyone share a word they created today using vowel blends? Keep practising these blends, and you’ll become experts! Thumbs up if you feel more confident with vowel teams today! Thanks for your hard work, and I’m excited to see you next time Review Questions (5 minutes): Which vowel team do you hear in the word "boat"? (Answer: oa) What sound do the letters "ee" make in the word "feet"? (Answer: Long e sound) Can you name one word with the vowel team "ai"? (Examples: rain, train, sail) In vowel teams, what happens to the second vowel? (Answer: It is silent) Which vowel team do you hear in the word "blue"? (Answer: ue) Expected Learning Outcome: Skill-Based Outcomes: Identify and pronounce words with vowel teams (ai, ee, oa, ie, ue). Create and spell words using vowel teams independently. Knowledge-Based Outcomes: Recognize the pattern where the first vowel in a vowel team says its name, and the second is silent. Apply their knowledge of vowel teams to improve reading fluency and spelling accuracy. Session 3 : Blending Vowel - Part 2   Session Title  Melody of Vowel Blends Topic  Vowel Blends - Part 2 Objective  To help students recognize and pronounce vowel blends correctly. To enhance phonemic awareness through rhythm and repetition. To encourage teamwork and creativity by making their own rhythm patterns. To improve listening and speaking skills in an interactive way. To make learning fun, engaging, and memorable through music and movement. Methodology  Multi-Sensory Learning – Uses listening, speaking, movement, and rhythm to reinforce learning.  Collaborative Learning – Encourages teamwork, creativity, and peer interaction.  Experiential Learning – Students actively create and perform, making learning more engaging and memorable. Material  Chart Paper / Whiteboard – To display vowel blends and rhythm patterns.  Flashcards – Words with vowel blends (with or without pictures).  Markers – For writing vowel blends and team rhythm patterns. Open Space – For team performances. Session Duration 90 minutes Introduction Activity (10 minutes): Pass the Clap  How to Play: Stand in a Circle Have all the students stand in a circle with you. Start with a Clap The teacher starts by clapping once while making eye contact with a student to their left or right. Pass It On That student claps once and passes it to the next person in the circle by making eye contact and clapping. Speed It Up After one round, try to make it go faster and faster without breaking the rhythm! Main Activity (60 minutes): Echo the Blend (15 minutes)  How to Do It: Teacher as the Leader Stand in front of the class and say a vowel blend sound out loud, like: “ea says /ee/” “ou says /ow/” “oi says /oy/” “ay says /ay/” Students Echo It Back The whole class repeats the vowel blend sound and action back to you. Teacher: “ea says /ee/!” Students: “ea says /ee/!” Vowel Blend Rhythm Game (45 minutes)   How to Do It: Divide into Teams: Split the students into 6 teams and name them after the vowel blends (ea team, ou team, oi team, etc.). Each team is responsible for one vowel blend. Create a Rhythm Pattern: Each team must create a simple rhythm pattern using their vowel blend. For example: ea team → "Leaf, Read, Meat – Clap, Clap, Tap!" ou team → "Cloud, House, Mouse – Stomp, Clap, Stomp!" They can use claps, taps, stomps, or even small drums to make it fun. Team Performances: All students sit in a circle. Each team performs their rhythm while saying their vowel blend words. Other teams listen and repeat.   Team Rotation: After all teams perform, switch team names so each group gets a new vowel blend. Repeat the process, allowing each team to create new rhythms with their new blend. Final Round: All teams perform together, blending all the vowel sounds into a fun class rhythm performance Follow-Up Activity (15 minutes):  Teacher: “Let’s tell a story to the children” “Owl’s Day of Kindness – A Vowel Blend Adventure” Once in a forest, there lived a wise owl. One day, it saw a kitten saying "meow". She was lost near a house and didn’t know where to go. The owl felt sorry for her and took her to his tree house. He gave her a soft couch to rest and shared some warm meat. Then, he gave her a book to read and even fixed her broken toy. The kitten smiled and found a shiny coin lying under the table. Later, it began to rain, and they sat near the window watching the clouds. The kitten looked at the owl and said, “You are my true friend.” From that day on, they played together, shared stories, and helped anyone who needed a friend. Follow-up Suggestion: Ask students to listen carefully and identify the vowel blend words they heard. After , please ask the students to “write it down on your notebook “  Then, let each student pick a word and say it aloud with the blend sound emphasized. Review Questions (5 minutes): Which vowel blend is in the word "cloud"? (Answer: ou) Can you name a word with the vowel blend "ea"? (Answer: leaf, meat, read) What sound does the "oi" blend make? (Answer: /oy/) Which vowel blend do you hear in the word "day"? (Answer: ay) What is the rhythm pattern for the "ou" team? (Answer: "Cloud, House, Mouse – Stomp, Clap, Stomp!") Expected Learning Outcome: Skill-Based Outcomes: Identify and Pronounce vowel blends such as ea, ou, oi, ow, ay, ew correctly. Create and Perform rhythmic patterns using vowel blend words, demonstrating creativity and teamwork. Build Confidence in speaking and performing in front of peers, enhancing public speaking skills. Knowledge-Based Outcomes: Demonstrate Understanding of vowel blends through creative performances like songs, rhythms, or actions. Enhance Listening and Observation Skills by providing peer feedback during team rotations and performances. Session 4 : Blending With Consonants - Part 1   Session Title Blending with Consonants  - Part 1 Objective Students develop phonetic awareness of consonant-vowel combinations.

Team Setup Divide the students into 6 teams:(D,B,F,N,K,H ) Encourage teamwork and communication among team members. 2. Relay Race Setup Set up a relay course with flashcards at each station. Team D and Team B will go first. 3. How to Play The first student in Team D starts by saying "Da" and then runs to the station where Team B is waiting. When they reach Team B’s station, they say “Ba” and run back to their team. Then, the next student in Team D will say "De" and run to Team B, and so on (De,Di,Do,Du ). Team B will do the same, starting with "Ba", then "Be", "Bi", "Bo", and "Bu". 4. Switch Teams After both Team D and Team B finish, the next two teams (F and N) will start the same process. 5. Winning Team The first team to finish all their blends correctly and quickly will win. The team that completes the task with clear pronunciation and the fastest time wins. Follow-Up Activity (15 minutes): Blend It Up  Objective: Reinforce consonant-vowel blends and encourage creative thinking. Materials Needed: Paper and markers Flashcards with consonants and vowels written on them Chart or whiteboard Instructions: Pair Up: Have students pair up with a partner. Create Words: Give each pair a set of consonant and vowel flashcards. Students will take turns picking a consonant card and a vowel card to create a new blend (e.g., "D" + "a" = "Da"). Draw & Write: Once they have formed a word, they should write it down and draw a picture that represents the word (e.g., for "Ba" they can draw a "ball"). Share: After 10 minutes, invite each pair to share their words with the class and display their pictures on the board. Review: As a group, review the words formed and ensure that students pronounce the blends clearly. Review Assessment (3 minutes): Quick Blend Quiz Materials : Whiteboard or chart Instructions : Step 1: Rapid Fire Blending (1 minute) Call out a consonant (e.g., "D" ), and point randomly to a vowel (e.g., "e" ). Ask the whole class: “What blend do we get?” Expected response: " De " Repeat with other consonant-vowel pairs (e.g., B + o , F + a , etc.) Step 2: Thumbs Up or Down (1 minute) Say a blend out loud (e.g., “Na”) and ask: “Does this start with the consonant ‘K’?” Students respond with 👍 if correct, 👎 if not. Do 5–6 examples mixing correct and incorrect blends. Expected learning Outcome: Knowledge Building:   Students will be able to blend consonant-vowel sounds accurately. Students will improve their reading accuracy and fluency. Skill Building:  Students will develop teamwork and communication skills. Session 5 : Blending With Consonants - Part 2   Session Title Blending with Consonants - Part 2  Objective Students develop phonetic awareness of consonant-vowel combinations. Students learn to blend consonants (S,M,P,L,R,T) with vowels (A-E-I-O-U).  Students develop their collaboration, communication skill and teamwork Topics Blending consonants(S,M,P,L,R,T)  and vowel sounds Material Required Bingo cards Board and chalk Methodology Teaching through games and song  Session Duration      90 minutes Introduction Activity (10 minutes):  Welcome and ask the class to sit in a circle.

Alphabet recognition (S,M,P,L,R,T).  Vocabulary expansion Phonics patterns Session 6 : Blending With Consonants - Part 3   Session Title Blending Sounds, Building Words-Part 3 Objective  Identify and pronounce consonant-vowel blends formed by C, G, V, and J with the vowels a, e, i, o, u. Recognize and read simple words and phrases that utilize these blends. Apply their knowledge by constructing new words and sentences using the learned blends. Engage in interactive activities to build listening, speaking, and collaborative skills through games, group tasks, and creative storytelling. Topic  Consonant-Vowel blends with C, G, V, and J (Blending Consonants with a, e, i, o, u) Methodology  Interactive Learning  Materials  Sound Detective Badges Printable badges for students to wear during the session. Blend Cards Cards with consonant-vowel blends (ca, go, va, ju, etc.) to introduce and practice sounds. Letter Tiles Plastic or paper tiles with individual letters for word-building activities. Word Cards Cards with simple C, G, V, J blend words (e.g., cat, goat, vet, jug) for the Reading Race and practice. Flashcards Visual aids showing blends (ca, ce, ci, etc.) for pronunciation practice. Session Duration 90 minutes  Introduction Activity (20 minutes):  Sound Detective  Teacher: Welcome, Sound Detectives. Today, each of you is becoming a Sound Detective — your mission is to find secret sounds in words! You’ll be listening closely for special blends like ca, go, va, ju and more. But before we begin, every great detective needs a badge! Here is your Sound Detective Badge — wear it proudly! Now let’s get ready to listen, learn, and crack the code of sounds!"  Step 1: Say the Words Say one word at a time, clearly. After each word, pause and let students respond. For example: Teacher says: “Cat” Students say: “ca!” Teacher says: “Goat” Students say: “go!” Teacher says: “Van” Students say: “va!” Teacher says: “Jug” Students say: “ju!” Important: Only say one word at a time and give them time to think.  Step 2: Add Some Trick Words Throw in a few words that don’t start with the focus blends (to keep it fun and challenging): Examples: You say: “Ball” → Students say: “Not our sound!” You say: “Sun” → Students say: “Not our sound!” This helps develop discrimination skills — they learn to tell what fits and what doesn’t. Main Activity (35 minutes): Blend Introduction & Pronunciation  (15 minutes)  Introduce blends using flashcards: C: ca, ce, ci, co, cu G: ga, ge, gi, go, gu V: va, ve, vi, vo, vu J: ja, je, ji, jo, ju Practice repeat-after-me pronunciation. Blend & Build Challenge (20 minutes)   Step-by-Step Instructions  1. Group Setup  Divide the class into small groups of 3–4. Give each group: A set of blend cards A tray or bag of letter tiles (plastic or paper cutouts)  2. Build with Letter Tiles Students choose a blend card (e.g., vi) and use the letter tiles to build as many real words as they can with that blend (e.g., van, vet, vibe). They arrange the tiles on the table to physically see and touch the sounds. For each correctly built word, the group earns a point or sticker.  3. Create a Word Wall  Each group picks their top 3–5 words and writes or pastes them on the class “Blend Word Wall”. One student from each group reads the words aloud to the class.  Wrap-Up: Applaud participation with a “Great Word Builder!” cheer. Follow-Up Activity (25 minutes): Reading Race Prepare Word Cards: Use simple words with blends like cat, gap, vet, jug, van, goat, jam, etc. You can use cards from the previous activity or create new ones. Divide into Teams: Split the class into two or three teams. Each team forms a line. The Race: Place the word cards at the front of the classroom (on a table, board, or wall). One student from each team runs up, picks a word card, reads it aloud, and runs back. If they read it correctly, the team earns 1 point. If the word includes a target blend (e.g., ga, ju, va), they earn 2 points. Continue until everyone has had a turn. The team with the most points wins a small prize or gets a cheer! Celebrate Learning: Congratulate the class: Teacher: Today you became Sound Detectives, Word Builders, and Reading Racers — and you did amazing! Review Question (10 minutes): What blend do you hear in the word "van"? Can you say a word with the "ca" blend? Which blend is in the word "goat"? Recap & Reflect: Ask students: “What new blends did we learn today?” “Can you give me one word with ‘ju’? With ‘ca’? With ‘vi’?” Quickly review a few blend cards on the board as a group. Expected Learning Outcomes:   Knowledge Building: Students will identify and pronounce consonant-vowel blends formed by C, G, V, and J with vowels (a, e, i, o, u). Students will recognize and read simple words that include these blends. Students will understand the concept of blending consonants and vowels to create words.   Skill Building: Students will improve their phonemic awareness by accurately identifying and pronouncing consonant-vowel blends. Students will develop word-building skills by constructing words with letter tiles and practicing blends. Students will enhance listening, speaking, and communication skills by actively participating in group activities and games. Students will build teamwork and collaboration through group tasks such as the “Blend & Build Challenge” and “Reading Race.” Session 7 : Blending With Consonants - Part 4   Session Title The Sound Quest: Adventures with Q, W, X, Y, and Z - Part 4 Objective  Recognize and pronounce blends with Q, W, X, Y, Z. Identify beginning sounds in words. Build phonemic awareness through storytelling. Respond to and apply sounds in interactive games. Practice listening and speaking with confidence. Topic  Exploring Beginning Sounds with Q, W, X, Y, and Z through Storytelling and Play  Methodology  Story-Based Phonics Approach Materials  Story props or visual cards (for Quinn, Wendy, Xeno, Yara, Zane) Flashcards with blends (qa, qe, qi, qo, qu... etc.) Spinner or dice labeled with character names or colors Blend cards (wa, we, wi, etc.) Board and markers Stickers or small rewards (optional) Session Duration 90 minutes Introduction Activity (20 minutes): Guess the Sound Friend  Step-by-Step: Say to the Class: “Today, you will meet five fun Sound Friends! Each one has a favorite sound. Can you guess who it is from the clues? Clue Time (One by One): Q – Quinn Clue: “This friend lives in a quiet village and is searching for a quilt. Who could it be?”  Answer: “Quinn starts with Q – /kw/ sound!” W – Wendy Clue: “This friend loves getting wet and playing with water balloons. Who is it?”  Answer: “Wendy starts with W – /w/ sound!”  X – Xeno Clue: “This friend opened a box and found a fax machine and a xylophone. Who is it?”  Answer: “Xeno starts with X – often heard in the middle or end like in ‘box’ – /ks/ sound!”  Y – Yara Clue: “This friend loves playing with her yellow yo-yo and has a yak. Who do you think it is?” Answer: “Yara starts with Y – /y/ sound!”  Z – Zane Clue: “This friend has a zebra who loves riding the zipline. Who is this zippy friend?”  Answer: “Zane starts with Z – /z/ sound!” Wrap-Up: Review each letter and sound briefly: “Let’s say the sounds together — Q is /kw/, W is /w/, X is /ks/, Y is /y/, Z is /z/” Main Activity (45 minutes): The Quest for the Missing Sounds   [Begin with excitement] “Boys and girls, today we are going on a sound adventure with five special friends! They are not just ordinary kids—they’re Sound Seekers! Each one is looking for something that starts with their special sound. Let’s see who we meet…” 1.  Quinn and the Queen’s Quilt Quinn lived in a quiet village. One day, the Queen called him: “Quinn! My quilt is missing!” Quinn jumped up and grabbed his quill and quick shoes. He searched near the quack of ducks, and under the quiet tree. Finally—"There it is!" The colorful quilt was stuck in a quicksand patch!  Ask: “What sound do you hear in quilt, quack, quicksand?” (Write: qa, qe, qi, qo, qu on board.) 2. Wendy and the Wet Water Balloon Wendy was having a splashy day. She lost her favorite wet water balloon. “Oh no!” she cried. “Where’s my balloon?” She looked in the wagon, under a web, and behind the wiggly worm. Splash!  She found it! Right next to a woozy walrus!  Ask: “What sound starts wet, web, wagon?” (Write: wa, we, wi, wo, wu on board.) 3.  Xeno and the Magic Box Xeno loved puzzles. One day he found a magic box that went zap! Inside, he found an ax, a fax, and a shiny xylophone! He shouted, “X marks the spot!” The box zipped shut with an x-ray light!  Ask: “Where did we hear the ‘x’ sound? Beginning? Middle? End?” (Write: Words with x in middle/end: ax, box, fox, six.) 4.  Yara and the Yellow Yo-Yo Yara loved her yellow yo-yo. But today, it was missing! She looked near her yak, behind the yogurt cup, and under her yucky umbrella. “Yippee!” she yelled. “I found it in the yarn basket!”  Ask: “What sound do we hear in yo-yo, yak, yarn?” (Write: ya, ye, yi, yo, yu on board.) 5.  Zane and the Zebra’s Zipline Zane’s pet zebra loved zooming on a zipline! But today, the zipline was gone! Zane searched the zoo, peeked under a zucchini plant, and spotted some zigzag tracks. “Zowie!” he shouted. The zebra was already zooming across the sky!  Ask: “What sound starts zebra, zipline, zoo?” (Write: za, ze, zi, zo, zu on board.)  Closing the Story Teacher: All five friends found their favorite things! And do you know what helped them? Their ears! They listened carefully for the beginning sounds of each word. You are now ready to go on your own sound quest! Follow-Up Activity (20 minutes):  Spin & Say the Sound  Step-by-Step Instructions: Step 1: Set up the Spinner or Dice Label each section with a color or character name: 🔵 Blue = Quinn (Q) 🟢 Green = Wendy (W) 🔴 Red = Xeno (X) 🟡 Yellow = Yara (Y) 🟣 Purple = Zane (Z) Step 2: Take Turns One student comes up and spins the spinner (or rolls the dice). Step 3: Identify the Character and Their Sound Based on the spinner result, say:  “It’s Wendy's turn! What letter does Wendy start with?” Student answers: W  “Great! What sound can W make with a vowel?” The student says a blend: wa, we, etc. Step 4: Say a Word with the Blend The student picks the correct blend card (like we) and says a word that starts with it.  For example: “Wet” or “Web”  Optional bonus: Act it out or draw it on the board! Step 5: Keep Playing Give everyone a turn. Celebrate correct answers with claps or stickers. Conclusion   “Great job, Sound Stars! Today you listened carefully, said your sounds clearly, and helped our story friends! I’m so proud of you!” “Give yourself a big clap — you are all amazing learners!”  “You’re now official Sound Stars! Keep listening, keep learning, and keep having fun with sounds!” Review Question (5 minutes): List 5 words with the blends (Q, W, X, Y, Z). Peer Sharing: Share your list with a classmate and practice saying the blends. Blend Review: What blend is in "wet"? Give a word with the "zo" blend. Expected Learning Outcomes: Knowledge-Based: Recognize and identify consonant-vowel blends (qa, we, etc.) and their sounds (e.g., /kw/, /w/). Understand how to construct words using these blends (e.g., wet, web). Associate specific characters with their sounds (e.g., Quinn = /kw/). Skill-Based: Improve pronunciation and fluency of blends. Develop listening skills and sound discrimination. Engage in interactive participation through games and group activities. Build words using letter tiles and practice writing and speaking. Enhance critical thinking through phonemic problem-solving. Gain confidence in using new sounds and words in class. Session 8 : Blends Session Title Let’s Play with Sounds Objective  Identify common digraphs and blends: sh, ch, th, ph, wh, ck, ng, gh, fl, gr Pronounce each sound clearly and accurately Recognize and match sounds to example words Work cooperatively in movement-based phonics games Recall and apply sounds in oral and written activities Build listening, speaking, and social skills through interactive tasks Topic  Exploring Digraphs and Blends: Sh, Ch, Th, Ph, Wh, Ck, Ng, Gh, Fl, Gr Methodology  Collaborative Learning ,Interactive Learning  Materials  Word Cards: Cards with words and pictures for each digraph/blend (sh, ch, th, ph, wh, ck, ng, gh, fl, gr). Sound Labels: Pre-written labels for digraphs/blends (sh, ch, th, etc.) on chart paper or the whiteboard. Recording Sheets: For students to write words during the Sound Circle Scoot activity. Chart Paper/Whiteboard: For displaying sound labels and example words. Session Duration   90 minutes Introduction Activity (30 minutes): Sound Match & Mingle Steps : Pass Out Cards Give each student one word card. Make sure the card clearly shows the word and a picture. Find Your Sound Partne r Say: “Your job is to look at your card, say your word out loud, and listen to the beginning or ending sound. Then, go around the room and find someone else whose word has the same beginning or ending sound as yours!” Example pairs: sh: fish – shoe ch: chair – cheese th: thumb – bath fl: flag – flower gr: grapes – green Group & Share After students pair up or group by sound, they come to the front and stick their cards under the matching digraph/blend label (pre-written on the board or chart paper). Each group says their words out loud to the class. The teacher highlights the sound and how it's spelled. Word Card Set: sh ship fish brush ch chair cheese lunch th thumb bath three ph phone photo dolphin wh whale wheel whistle ck duck rock sock ng ring king sing gh laugh cough high fl flag flower flip gr  grapes green grow Main Activity (30 minutes): Sound Circle Scoot Set-Up : Hang or place the Word Cards in a circle around the classroom. Each Word Card should have only the sound (e.g., "sh" inside a circle or fun design). Students each stand near one card, forming a circle. How to Play: Start the Activity: Each student reads the sound aloud at their station (e.g., “sh”). Then they write one example word that contains that sound on their recording sheet. Example: Standing at "sh", a student writes “ship” or “fish”. Scoot Time! The teacher calls “Scoot!”. Each student moves clockwise to the next sound station. Repeat: At the new card, students read the sound aloud and write a new word on their sheet. Continue until students have visited all sound cards. Follow-Up Activity (25 minutes): Think & Clap Bingo Step-by-Step Instructions 1. Prepare Students Have students sit in rows, on the floor, or at their desks. Explain: “We’re going to play a listening Bingo game. I’ll say a sound like ‘sh’ or ‘ch’, and you’ll tell me a word that has that sound. When you get five correct, shout ‘Bingo!’” 2. Set the Goal Each student will keep track of their own correct answers using fingers (1 finger per word). Once they have 5 correct, they can shout “Bingo!” 3. Begin the Game  Say a sound (e.g., “sh”). Ask students: “Who can tell me a word with the ‘sh’ sound?” Students raise hands to answer. Choose one student to respond (e.g., “ship”). If it’s correct, everyone who hasn’t already used that sound can hold up one finger. Keep going with new sounds (like ch, th, ph, wh, ck, ng, gh, fl, gr). 4. Celebrate Bingos  When a student gets 5 fingers (5 correct answers), they shout “Bingo!” Ask them to say their 5 words aloud to the class. Conclusion  “Great job today, everyone! We learned and practiced some important sounds that help us read and spell words better — like sh, ch, th, ph, wh, ck, ng, gh, fl, and gr. We listened carefully, played games, moved around, and even thought of our own example words. That’s amazing teamwork and learning!” Review Questions/Assessment/Task (5 minutes): “What was your favorite sound today?” “Can anyone tell me one new word they learned?” Expected Learning Outcomes: Knowledge-Based: Recognize and identify common digraphs and blends (sh, ch, th, ph, wh, ck, ng, gh, fl, gr). Match words to corresponding sounds. Skill-Based: Pronounce digraphs and blends correctly. Write and generate example words with the targeted sounds. Improve listening, speaking, and collaborative skills through interactive activities. Session 9 : Opposite words   Session Title Opposite Words Objective Understand the concept of opposite words. Identify and use opposite words in everyday contexts. Enhance teamwork, communication, and creativity through interactive games and activities. Topics/Concept Opposite Words – Opposite words are words that have opposite meanings, such as "big" and "small," "fast" and "slow," "happy" and "sad." These words help expand vocabulary, enhance understanding of language, and are used in various contexts. Material Required Flashcards with opposite words (or write opposite pairs on the board) A timer or clock Open space for physical activities Methodology Activity-based learning Session Duration  90 minutes  Introduction Activity (35 minutes): Objective: To introduce opposite words and build foundational knowledge through writing, reading, and discussing them. Discussion & Explanation Start by asking the students if they know what opposite words are. Explain that opposite words are pairs of words with opposite meanings, and they are used to compare things or describe differences. Write Opposite Word Pairs on the Board: Write 10 opposite word pairs on the board, making sure each pair is familiar and simple for the students to understand. Example Words on the Board: Big / Small Fast / Slow Tall / Short Hot / Cold Up / Down Heavy / Light Left / Right Open / Closed Day / Night Happy /Sad High / Low Long / Small Above / Below Higher / Lower Large / Tiny Huge / Little Read and Explain the Words: Read each pair aloud, and explain the meaning of each word. For example Big" means large in size, and "Small" means tiny or not large Fast" means quick, and "Slow" means taking time. Ask the students to repeat each word after you and share examples of things around them that are big or small. Group Activity  Identifying Opposites in the Room: After the explanation, ask the students to look around the room and try to find something that fits each opposite pair.  For example, "Can anyone point to something big in the room?" "Where do you see something small?" Expected Outcome: Students will understand the concept of opposites, and they will have learned the meanings of the words with real-life examples. Main Activity (30 minutes): Opposite Word Charades  Objective: To engage students physically and reinforce their understanding of opposite words through actions. Instructions Form teams: Divide the class into two teams. Explain the Rules: One student from each team will act out a word, and the rest of the class will guess the opposite word. For example, if a student acts out "big" by stretching their arms wide, the class must guess "small." The acting student should not speak, only act using their body. Give the Words: Use words from the opposite pairs on the board (Big, Small, Happy, Sad, etc.) to act out. Take Turns: Rotate the acting student every time a word is guessed correctly. Teams will score a point for each correct guess. Expected Outcome: Students will actively participate in physical activities while reinforcing their understanding of opposite words. Follow-Up Activity (20 minutes): Opposite Word Matching  Objective: To enhance students' skills in identifying and matching opposite words in an interactive way. Instructions: Flashcards (Optional): If you have flashcards, you can use them for this activity. If not, you can write the words on small pieces of paper. Pair the Students: Divide students into pairs and give each pair a set of opposite word cards (or you can have them come up to the board to match words written on the board). Task: Each pair will work together to match opposite word pairs from the cards or from the board. For example, they need to match "big" with "small," "hot" with "cold," and so on. Check for Understanding: Walk around the room and assist if needed. After the activity, ask the students to read the pairs aloud and use them in simple sentences. Review Question's/Assessment/Task (5 minutes): Write down 5 opposite word pairs from daily life and use them in sentences. Expected Learning Outcome: Knowledge Building: Students will understand the concept of opposite words and be able to identify common opposite pairs.  Skill Building: Language Skills: Use opposite words in sentences. Social Skills: Engage in teamwork through group activities. Physical Engagement: Actively participate in activities that reinforce learning through movement. Session 10 : Nouns Session title    Exploring Nouns: A Fun Adventure Through Words Topic  "Exploring Nouns: Understanding People, Places, Things, and Ideas" Methodology  "Interactive and Engaging Noun Exploration" Materials required Sticky Notes – Noun Labels Pens/Pencils – Writing Tools Chart Paper – Noun Categorization Charts Markers – Chart Writing Markers Noun Labels/Picture Cards – Noun Clues Worksheets/Notebooks – Noun Spotting Sheets Session Duration 90 minutes Introduction Activity (25 minutes): Step-by-Step Guide: Engage the Class with a Simple Question Ask: “Can you name five things you see around you right now?” Encourage students to look around the classroom and say out loud what they notice. Write Their Responses on the Board As students answer, start listing their words on the board. You might hear things like: Chair Teacher Fan Bag Friend Book Make sure to include a mix of people, objects, and maybe even places if mentioned (like “school” or “classroom”). Introduce the Concept of a Noun After collecting 5–7 responses, say something like: “All these words you just gave me are nouns. That’s because they are names of people, places, things, or even ideas.” Write the Definition Clearly On the board, write: “A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, animal, or idea.” Read it aloud together and repeat if needed. Main Activity (30 minutes): Noun Treasure Hunt Prepare the Classroom (Before the Class) Place a few noun labels or picture cards  around the room—on walls, chairs, books, or desks. Names (e.g., teacher, Ramu, cat, doctor) Places (e.g., school, Kerala, park, library) Objects (e.g., book, chair, pen, bottle) Ideas (e.g., happiness, honesty, freedom, love) How to Play: Step 1: Divide the Class into Teams Divide students into 3–5 teams depending on class size. Give each team a name (or let them choose one like “Team Stars” or “Team Tigers”). Give each team a set of sticky notes and pens. Tell them to write their team name under every noun they write. Step 2: Begin the Noun Hunt Students look around the room or think creatively to find: Names (e.g., Ramu, teacher, cat) Places (e.g., park, classroom, Kerala) Things (e.g., pen, book, table) Ideas (e.g., love, honesty, freedom) For each noun, they: Write it on a sticky note Add their team name below the word Walk to the correct chart and stick the note under the matching category Example Sticky Note:           School Team Tigers Step 3: Review & Discussion  Read each chart aloud, discuss: Which words are correct? Any words in the wrong place? Any unique or creative nouns? Give points or appreciation: 1 point for correct nouns Bonus for new or creative answers Follow-Up Activity (25 minutes): Noun Spotting Challenge Step-by-Step Explanation 1. Short  "Rani went to the market with her mother. She bought mangoes and books. After shopping, they sat in the park and enjoyed the cool breeze. Rani felt very happy." This short passage includes several nouns: Rani, market, mother, mangoes, books, shopping, park, breeze, happiness. 2. Explain the Rules to Students Tell them: “I’m going to read a short story aloud.” “Every time you hear a noun—a name of a person, place, thing, animal, or idea—raise your hand quietly.” “Don’t shout out the word—just listen carefully!” 3. Read the Story Aloud Read slowly and clearly. You may repeat it once if needed, especially for younger students. Keep an eye on who raises their hands and when. This helps you see who is getting it. 4. Writing Time (After Listening) Ask students to take out their notebooks or use a worksheet. Instruct: “Write down at least 5 nouns you heard in the story.” Then, next to each noun, ask them to label it as: Person - Rani  Place  - Market  Thing - Mangoes , Books  Idea   - Happiness       5. Quick Sharing & Discussion Let 2–3 students read their lists aloud. Review question's/ Assessment/Task (10 minutes):   Noun Reflection Circle (5 minutes) Steps: Gather students in a circle or keep them seated. Go around and ask: “Can you share one noun that is important to you?”  ( Encourage personal responses like: mother, home, drawing, honesty) Optional: Ask them to say what type of noun it is (place, idea, etc.) Noun Recap Game – “Noun or Not?” (5 minutes) Steps: You say a word aloud. If it’s a noun, students clap. If it’s not a noun, they stay silent or cross their arms. Example words: Chair (clap) Quickly (stay still) School (clap) Happy (stay still) Honesty (clap) Make it fun and fast-paced! Expected Learning Outcome: Knowledge-Based: Understand what nouns are. Know the four types of nouns: person, place, thing, and idea. Skill-Based: Identify and classify nouns correctly. Work together in teams and participate actively. Listen, observe, and express ideas clearly. Session 11 : Singular and plural Part 1 Session Title Understanding & Introduction of Singular and Plural Objective Understand the difference between singular and plural nouns. Identify singular and plural forms of words. Use singular and plural nouns correctly in sentences. Topics/Concept Singular: A word that refers to one person, thing, or idea. Plural: A word that refers to more than one person, thing, or idea.  Material Required Whiteboard & marker Clay (for activity Flashcards with pictures of objects Methodology Activity-based learning: The session will use physical activities (such as clay modeling and flashcards) to help children connect theory with practical examples. Experiential learning: The lesson will involve students engaging in hands-on activities like creating singular and plural objects with clay and identifying singular and plural nouns in flashcards. Interactive Learning: Students will participate in group discussions and play games to reinforce the concepts of singular and plural forms Session Duration  90 minutes Introduction Activity (20 minutes): Objective: Introduce the concepts of singular and plural, and provide clear definitions and examples. Activity: Write "Singular" and "Plural" on the board. Explain that singular refers to one (e.g., "apple," "dog," "chair"). Explain that plural refers to more than one (e.g., "apples," "dogs," "chairs"). Provide additional examples: Singular: apple, dog, chair, cat, book, tree, child, car, house, pencil Plural: apples, dogs, chairs, cats, books, trees, children, cars, houses, pencils. Ask the children to give their own examples of singular and plural words. Main Activity (50 minutes): "Singular and Plural with Clay" (25 minutes) Objective : Help children physically engage with the concept of singular and plural. Instructions: Provide each child a small piece of clay. Ask them to create a model of a singular object (e.g., one apple, one dog, one chair). Then, ask them to make a plural version by creating multiple objects (e.g., apples, dogs, chairs). As they do this, encourage them to say the word out loud while shaping the clay. After completing their clay models, ask the children to share their creations with the class and explain whether they made a singular or plural object.        "Singular or Plural Flashcard Game" (25 minutes) Objective : Reinforce the concept of singular and plural in a fun, engaging way. Instructions : Prepare flashcards with pictures of objects (e.g., one apple, two apples, one dog, two dogs). Hold up a flashcard and ask the children whether it represents a singular or plural object Encourage the students to shout out their answers and explain why. After the group answers, discuss how we change the word from singular to plural (e.g., "apple" becomes "apples"). Do this activity with various pictures (e.g., singular and plural forms of animals, fruits, and objects). Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks (15 minutes): Ask students to recall some examples of singular and plural words. Encourage them to make sentences using both singular and plural forms. Review any questions or confusions about the rules for forming plurals. → At the end of the session conduct a brief quiz or ask questions to reinforce understanding, like: "What is the plural of 'dog'?"  "Is 'cats' singular or plural?"  "How do we change a word to plural?"  Ask students to make a list of 5 singular and 5 plural words. Encourage peer sharing: "Tell a classmate your singular and plural word examples." Review any questions or confusions about the rules for forming plurals. Follow up Tasks (5 minutes): Homework : Ask students to write 5 sentences using singular nouns and 5 sentences using plural nouns. Expected Learning Outcome: Knowledge building: Understanding of the singular and plural concepts, and how to convert singular nouns into plural. Skill Building: Ability to identify singular and plural nouns in various contexts, and to correctly use them in sentences. Session 12 : Singular and Plural Part 2 Session Title Singular and Plural – Adding “s” and “es” to Make Plural Objective Understand the difference between singular and plural nouns.

Session Title Exploring Pronouns: He, She, This, That, and More! Objective Be able to use he, she, this, that, I, you, we, it, they, these, those correctly in sentences. Understand the concept of replacing nouns with pronouns based on context (gender, number, proximity). Practice creating sentences using pronouns in real-life situations. Concepts Pronouns: He, She, This, That, I, You, We, It, They, These, Those How pronouns replace nouns: Understanding when and how to use pronouns to avoid repetition and make sentences smoother. Contextual usage: Understanding when to use specific pronouns based on proximity (near or far), number (singular or plural), and gender (male or female). Material Required Flashcards: Pictures of people, objects, and animals for visual references. Whiteboard/Markers: For demonstrations and writing examples. Pronoun Chart: A visual chart displaying the pronouns and examples. Paper/Pens: For student writing tasks. Methodology The session will employ interactive learning through direct instruction, active participation, and collaborative tasks.  Students will engage in activities like Pronoun Charades, group story creation, and scavenger hunts to practice using pronouns in real-life contexts, with feedback provided throughout to reinforce understanding. Session Duration 90 Minutes Introduction Activity (20 Minutes):   “Pronoun Introduction Game”  Objective : Get students to introduce themselves using a pronoun. Instructions : Each student introduces themselves by saying, “My name is [name], and I am wearing a [color] dress.” After the introduction, the teacher will repeat what the student said and replace nouns with pronouns. Example : Student says, “My name is Haza,, and I am wearing a red dress.” Teacher repeats, “She is Haza, and she is wearing a red dress.” This exercise helps students understand how pronouns replace specific nouns like names and objects. Concept Explanation : Pronouns Chart  Objective : Introduce the various pronouns and their usage in sentences. Instructions: Write pronouns on the board: He, She, This, That, I, You, We, It, They, These, Those. Explain each one with examples: He: For a male person (Example: “He is my friend.”). She: For a female person (Example: “She is my teacher.”). This: For something near (Example: “This is my pen.”). That: For something farther away (Example: “That is my book.”). I: Used for the speaker (Example: “I am happy.”). You: Used when talking to someone (Example: “You are my friend.”). We: Used when talking about a group that includes the speaker (Example: “We are going to the park.”). It: Used for things or animals (Example: “It is a pencil.”). They: Used for multiple people or things (Example: “They are playing football.”). These: Used for plural things near (Example: “These are my books.”). Those: Used for plural things far away (Example: “Those are your shoes.”). Real-Life Context  Objective : Use the room’s objects and students’ personal items to show how pronouns work. Instructions: Point to an item in the classroom (e.g., a dress, a pencil) and ask students to describe it using a pronoun. Example: Pointing to a dress, “This is a red dress.” Now, ask a student: “What pronoun would you use for the dress?” The student responds, “This is a red dress.” Repeat this activity with different objects in the room, allowing students to use pronouns like this, that, these, those in context. Main Activity (55 Minutes):   Pronoun play : Act & Guess (20 Minutes) Prepare flashcards with different pronoun-based sentences, such as “She is reading a book,” “They are playing soccer,” or “This is a pencil.” Ask a student to choose a flashcard, and then act out the sentence without speaking—only using gestures, body language, and facial expressions. Instead of the class immediately guessing, have the next student come forward, observe the action, and guess the pronoun and sentence based on the actions. After the guess, briefly discuss the sentence and the correct pronoun with the whole class. For example: If a student acts out reading a book, and the second student guesses, “She is reading a book,” then take a moment to talk about the use of "she" and why it’s appropriate in this case. Discuss when and why we use certain pronouns. For a student pretending to play soccer, the second student might guess, “They are playing soccer,” and then you can briefly explain why "they" works in this context and the different uses of "they" (for groups or unspecified people). To make the activity more fun and engaging, you can encourage the acting student to exaggerate their actions and expressions, which will help the guessing student come up with the right answer and get everyone involved in the discussion. “Group Story with Pronouns” (20 minutes) Objective : Practice using multiple pronouns in a story. Instructions: Divide the class into small groups and give each group a set of flashcards with different pronouns written on them. Ask each group to create a short story (2-3 sentences) using at least five different pronouns. Example : “She went to the store. It was closed, so we decided to go to the park. They were playing there.” After the groups write their stories, they will present them in front of the class, allowing everyone to hear different examples and correct any mistakes. “Pronoun Scavenger Hunt” (15 minutes) Objective : Use pronouns to describe objects around the classroom. Instructions : Scatter a few objects around the room (e.g., a pencil, a book, a chair). Ask students to find an object and describe it using two pronouns. Example : Find a pencil and say, “This is a pencil. It is green.” Find a book and say, “That is a book. It is red.” After finding and describing objects, students will present their sentences to the class. Follow up Tasks (5 minutes): Homework : Ask students to write two short paragraphs about their family or a group of friends, using at least five pronouns from today’s lesson. Example: “We are a happy family. He loves to play soccer, and she loves to read. These are my cousins, and they are visiting us today.” Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks (10 minutes): Questions : “What pronoun would you use for a group of people that includes you?” “If I’m talking about a cat, which pronoun would I use?” “How would you describe something far from you?” “Which pronoun do we use for a single object near us?”   Task : Ask students to create three sentences using at least three different pronouns (e.g., “I am here,” “She is my friend,” “This is my pencil”). Expected Learning Outcome: Knowledge building:  Students will understand the function and usage of various pronouns in sentences. They will learn how to identify which pronouns to use depending on the context, such as gender, number, and proximity.  By the end of the session, students will have a clear understanding of how pronouns replace nouns and make sentences more concise. Skill Building: Students will develop the ability to create sentences using a variety of pronouns in real-life contexts. Through interactive activities like acting, story creation, and scavenger hunts, students will practice correct pronunciation and sentence structure.  The session will encourage students to use pronouns confidently in conversations, writing, and group discussions. Session 16: Verbs and Adverbs – Actions and How They Happen   Session Title Verbs and Adverbs – Actions and How They Happen Objective Understand verbs (action words) and adverbs (how the action is done). Use verbs and adverbs in real-life and creative expressions. Enhance emotional expression, teamwork, and vocabulary through drama and SEL. Topics Verb: A word that shows what someone does. (e.g., jump, talk, eat) Adverb: A word that tells how, when, or where the action is done. (e.g., quickly, slowly, happily) Examples:   She runs fast. They sing beautifully. I eat quickly. The baby sleeps peacefully. He talks loudly. The dog barks angrily. She dances gracefully. Material Required Verb and adverb flashcards Emotion/mood cards Theatre props (scarves, hats, signs) Whiteboard and markers Chart with examples Worksheets Emoji SEL cards or mirrors Methodology Theatre-based learning Movement + expression SEL-based group interactions Multi-sensory learning, visual, auditory, kinesthetic) Session Duration   90 Minutes Introduction Activity (40 minutes): “Watch, Feel, and Tell” (25 minutes) Objective:  Help students grasp the concept of verbs and adverbs in a fun, interactive way. Step-by-step: Teacher silently acts out actions with different adverbs. Example: Pretend to eat slowly → Ask: What am I doing? How am I doing it? Pretend to walk angrily, clap happily, yawn sleepily Discussion Prompts: What is the verb? → The action What is the adverb? → How the action is done Write both words on the board after each round Group Mimic Game (15 mins): Students form pairs or small groups Each group picks an action and a mood They perform it, others guess: “Is it jump happily? Or walk sadly?” Board examples built together: The boy jumps high. I read quietly. We play noisily. She smiles sweetly. Main Topic/ Activity (65 minutes): Activity 1: “Verb & Adverb Walk” (25 minutes) Objective: To help students physically and verbally understand how adverbs describe actions. Method: Prepare flashcards with verbs (run, jump, eat, talk) and adverbs (slowly, happily, loudly, sadly). A student picks one verb + one adverb and performs the action while saying it aloud: “I am running quickly.” “I am speaking softly.” Others guess the adverb used and the feeling it shows. Example Pairings: Jump joyfully Write neatly Cry quietly Sing loudly Activity 2: “Adverb Acting – Mini Skits” (30 minutes) Objective: To creatively use verbs and adverbs in real-life contexts through group theatre. Method: Divide students into small groups. Each group gets a situation card (e.g., classroom, playground, home) and selects or is given a verb and adverb. They create and perform a mini skit using those words. Example Scenes: “In the kitchen” → “Mom cooks quickly.” “At school” → “She reads quietly.” “In the park” → “They play happily.” After each skit: The audience identifies the verb and adverb. Discuss how the adverb changed the action.   Wrap-Up & Reflection (10 minutes) Objective: Reinforce the day’s learning and connect it to students’ thoughts and emotions. Instructions: Review key points  What is a verb? What is an adverb? How do adverbs describe the action? Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks  Written exercise (worksheet): Fill in the blanks with suitable adverbs: He speaks ____. They play ____. Follow up Tasks: Expected Learning  Outcome: Knowledge building: Students will understand the role of adverbs in describing verbs. They will be able to identify and use both parts of speech correctly. Skill Building: Improved sentence construction Better emotional vocabulary Increased confidence through group activities and performance Session 17: Subject in a Sentence Session Title Understanding the Subject in a Sentence Objective Help students identify the subject in simple sentences. Understand that the subject tells who or what the sentence is about. Practice recognizing and using subjects through interactive and theatrical activities. Promote confidence and teamwork through SEL-based learning. Concept Subject: The person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about. It usually comes before the verb.   Examples: He plays football. The book is on the table. My friends are laughing The dog barked loudly. We are going to school. Material Required Whiteboard and markers Sentence flashcards Word cards (subjects, verbs, objects) Emotion/character props (hat, scarf, glasses) Chart with sample sentences and subjects highlighted Worksheet for practice Methodology Activity-based learning Theatre and roleplay SEL integration through character-based expression Peer collaboration and reflection Session Duration  90 minutes Introduction Activity (25 minutes): Objective: Introduce the concept of the subject with examples, visuals, and student interaction. Who or What? Write simple sentences on the board one at a time. Ask: “Who or what is this sentence about?” The dog is barking. → Subject: The dog She is singing. → Subject: She     3.Underline the subject in each sentence.     4. Let students come up and identify subjects using flashcards.     5.Use images to match to sentences: (Picture of a cat) → “The cat is sleeping.” → Subject: The cat SEL Element: Use student names in sentences to make it personal:  “Aisha is reading.” “Rahul is jumping.”     Encourage smiles and confidence when they see themselves in the learning. Main Activity (65 minutes):  Activity 1: Subject Detective (25 minutes) Objective: Students work in teams to find the subject in mystery sentences. Divide students into small groups. Give each group a set of “mystery sentences” (some short, some long). Students underline or circle the subject in each sentence. Examples: The girl is dancing. The sun is shining. They are playing cricket. My mother cooks dinner. Each group presents a few sentences, explaining their subject choice. Activity 2: “Subject Theatre” (30 minutes) Objective: Use acting to bring subjects to life and show who the sentence is about. Method: One student plays the subject, another acts out the verb or complements the sentence. The class guesses the full sentence based on the roleplay. Example: One student walks in like a cat, another says “is sleeping” → sentence: The cat is sleeping. One acts like a teacher, another pretends to talk → The teacher is talking. Examples for Skits: The baby is crying. The birds are flying. The children are running. The book is open. My father is driving. Wrap-Up & Reflection (10 minutes) Instructions: Ask students to explain what a subject is in their own words. Give 3 new sentences and ask students to identify the subject aloud. The stars are shining. We are singing. The car is moving. Reflection Questions: How did it feel to act out a subject? Did working with your group help you understand better? Which sentence or subject was the funniest or most fun? Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks:  Follow up Tasks: Write 5 simple sentences at home and underline the subject. Ask them to write one sentence about each family member as a subject: “My sister is dancing.” “My father is cooking.” Expected Learning Outcome: Knowledge building: Students will understand the role of the subject in a sentence. Skill Building: Identifying subjects correctly in spoken and written sentences. Working in teams and using body language and expressions for communication.

Learn common suffixes such as -ing, -ed, -ly, -ful, -ness, -er, -less. Practice identifying and using suffix words in real-life contexts. Encourage creativity and self-expression through interactive group activities. Topics/Concept A suffix is a group of letters added at the end of a word to change its form or meaning. Common Suffixes and Examples: -ing → play → playing -ed → jump → jumped -ly → quick → quickly -ful → help → helpful -ness → happy → happiness -er → teach → teacher -less → hope → hopeless Material Required Whiteboard and markers Flashcards with base words and suffixes Chart showing suffix rules and examples Printed worksheets Props or image cards (optional for activities) Methodology Activity-based and experiential learning Group-based collaboration Language in use through speaking, writing, and acting SEL Integration: confidence, empathy, cooperation Session Duration  90 Minutes Introduction Activity (25 minutes): Concept Building  Objective: Introduce the concept of suffixes with simple, relatable examples. Steps: 1. Start by asking: “What happens when we say play and playing? Are they the same?” 2. Write words on the board and break them down: play + ing = playing help + ful = helpful jump + ed = jumped quick + ly = quickly 3. Highlight that the base word stays the same but the suffix changes its meaning or function. Interactive Element: Give students 5 base words (e.g., run, happy, use, teach, quick). Ask them what happens if we add -ing, -ful, -ly etc. Main Activity (30 minutes): Suffix Skit Challenge  Objective: Use theater and expression to understand suffix meanings. Instructions: 1. Divide students into small groups. 2. Assign each group a suffix and give 1–2 base words. e.g., Group 1: -ing (jump, cook), Group 2: -ful (help, care), etc. 3. Each group creates a mini skit (1–2 minutes) showing how the suffix word is used. 4. Perform for the class. Others guess the suffix and say the new word. Example Ideas: A student is jumping repeatedly: “She is jumping!” Someone helps a friend pick up books: “That was helpful!” Someone speaks politely: “He spoke kindly.” Wrap-up Discussion: “What word did your group show?” “How did the suffix change the meaning?” Follow up task (25 minutes): Suffix Sorting & Sentence Writing   Objective: To practice word formation and sentence creation using suffixes. Part A: Suffix Sorting Game (10 minutes) Mix base word cards and suffix cards. In pairs/groups, students match them to make correct words. Examples: care + ful = careful teach + er = teacher run + ning = running Part B: Sentence Writing Practice (15 minutes) Provide a worksheet with 6–8 newly formed words. Students write sentences using each. Examples: “I am running to the park.” “She is a great teacher.” “We were happy about the news.” → “We felt happiness.” Peer Review: Let students share 1–2 sentences with a partner. Give one compliment for their sentence. Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks (10 minutes): Quick Quiz: “What is a suffix?” “What word do we get if we add -ly to slow?” “Give me a word with -less!” Expected Learning Outcome: Knowledge building Students will understand how suffixes modify base words. Recognize common suffixes in speech and writing. Skill Building Create new words using suffixes. Use suffix words correctly in sentences. Work collaboratively and build confidence in communication. Session 22: Preposition Session Title Introduction to preposition Objective By the end of this session students will able to :  Define what is preposition. Identify basic preposition in simple tense's Students will learn to identify and use common preposition in various contexts Topics/Concept Definition of preposition  Preposition as a word showing relationships  Common prepositions: [in, on, at, under over, near, etc. ] Material Required 1.Board & Chalk   2.Simple objects(e.g., a box, a toy, a book)   3.Draw pictures of simple scenes with object in different locations Methodology Interactive discussion: SEL based teaching Simple, hands on activities Session Duration 90 Minutes Introduction Activity (10 minutes): Preposition Action  Greet the students and introduce that today we are going to learn a new topic that is preposition    As a part of intro activity give simple command's, and have the students act them out “Put your hands in the pocket” “Walk to the chair” “Stand beside the desk”  This incorporate movements and reinforces the meaning of prepositions.  Main Activity (50 minutes): Preposition definition and examples (20 minutes) 1.Explain prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in a sentence Focus on  the basic preposition of direction, time and place Write simple sentences on the board and tell the students to come and try to find and underline the preposition in that sentences  “She works at the hospital” “The bird is on the tree” “Pen is in the box” “The cat is under the table” 2 . Discuss how the preposition tells us where the noun (hospital, tree, box, etc.)     3.    Ask the students to identify the preposition in other simple sentences.   Preposition Charades (30 minutes)   How to Play  Write down various prepositions (such as on, under, behind, in front of, between, etc.) on small pieces of paper.  Have the children take turns picking a paper and acting out a preposition without speaking, using their body to show the action.  The rest of the class guesses which preposition the child is acting out.  Examples:  Acting out the preposition on could involve pretending to place an object on a table.  Acting out under could mean crouching or hiding under a chair.  Acting out between could involve standing between two objects. Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks (15 minutes): Ask students to give their own examples of sentences using the prepositions they learned. Simple oral questions like "Where is the book if it is on the desk? Follow-Up Activity (15 minutes): Ask students to draw a simple picture of their room and write sentences of three objects in their room using prepositions. Have them write 3 sentences that use the prepositions: in, on, under , at) Expected Learning Outcome: Knowledge building Definition & Function – Students learn that prepositions show relationships between nouns/pronouns and other words             (e.g., place : "on the table,"            Time: "at 5 PM,"            Direction :  "to school").   Common Prepositions – Exposure to basic prepositions (in, on, at, under, over, near) and their usage in sentences.   Contextual Recognition – Identifying prepositions in written/oral examples (e.g., underlining "at" in "She works at the cafe" Skill Building Active Listening & Comprehension – Following commands in Preposition Action(e.g., "Stand beside the desk") develops auditory processing.  Speaking & Sentence Formation – Creating original sentences during review (e.g., "The lamp is on my desk") boosts verbal expression.  Kinesthetics Learning – Charades reinforces spatial awareness by acting out prepositions (e.g., crouching to demonstrate "under"). Session 23: Preposition of place   Session Title Preposition of place Objective To helps students understand the concept of preposition of places (in, on, at, under, between) To enable students to form sentences using these preepositions To apply prepositions to real world situations Topics/Concept Preposition of place (in, on, at, under, between) Spatial relationships and describing locations Location and positioning of objects Material Required White board and markers Small objects like (book, pencil, cup, box, etc.) Methodology Activity based learning: Physical games and group works Experimental learning Session Duration  90 Minutes Introduction  Activity (20 minutes): Guess the Word   How to Play  Start by giving clues related to prepositions that describe where something is placed or its relationship with another object.  For example: Clue: "This is used to describe the position of a book that is placed on a table." (Answer: On) Clue: "This describes the position of a cat that is beneath the chair." (Answer: Under) Ask the children to guess the correct preposition. This activity  helps children begin thinking about where objects are located and links the concept of prepositions to real-world objects. It also warms them up to the topic.  Main Activity (50 minutes): Idea about preposition of place (20 minutes)                              Start by asking students if they know what prepositions are and how they help in understanding the position of things.  Ask them whether they remember the previous class tell them to recap some examples of prepositions. Then  Introduce the prepositions of place (in, on, at, under, and between) In- Used when something is inside a space (e.g., "The book is in the box.") On - Used when something is resting on a surface (e.g., "The cup is on the table.") At - Used to show a specific point or place (e.g., "I am at the door.") Under - Used when something is beneath something else (e.g., "The cat is under the table.") Between - Used when something is in the middle of two things (e.g., "The ball is between the shoes.") Prepositional treasure hunt (30 minutes) How to play : Hiding the Treasure    One student is designated as the "hider."    The hider secretly places the treasure object somewhere in the classroom, using one of the designated classroom items as a reference point. The hider then gives a verbal clue using preposition of places or riddle clues that leads to the locations. Finding the Treasure:    The rest of the class becomes the "finders." The finder(s) listen to the clue and try to locate the treasure.   Example clues: "The treasure is under the book."  "It is inside the box."  "Look beside the pen."  "It's on top of the table."  ”The treasure is between the chair and the desk."  "It is behind the notebook” Follow-Up Activity (10 minutes): Tell them to write down the sentences they saw while walking to school from home, tell them to focus the words we learn today Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks (10 minutes):   Ask the students which is the easiest preposition to understand and which is the hardest. Then gave each student a partner and discuss that with their peer. Expected learning outcome:  Skill building Listening & Comprehension – Following verbal clues in the  Treasure Hunt sharpens their ability to interpret instructions.  Sentence Formation– Practicing prepositional phrases in peer discussions builds confidence in constructing accurate sentences.    Observation & Description– The follow-up task (writing sentences about their commute) trains them to observe and articulate real-world spatial relationships. Knowledge building Definition & Usage – Students will learn the meaning and correct application of prepositions of place (in, on, at, under, between) in sentences.   Spatial Relationships– They will understand how prepositions describe an object’s position relative to another (e.g., "The ball is between the shoes"). Session 24: Preposition of time   Session Title Preposition of time Objective By the end of this session students will able to:   Define and understand the use of preposition of time(at, on, in, before, after, to, into out, of) Apply these prepositions correctly in sentences related to time Develop communication and collaborative skills through interactive games  Topics/Concept Preposition of time (at, in, on, into, out of, after, before) Using prepositions to specify when events occur Material Required Board and Chalk News paper Pen & book Methodology Activity-based learning through games Interactive learning: Group Work and Peer Teaching Session Duration  90 Minutes Introduction Activity (15 minutes):  Time flash game  The teacher will ask the students to close their eyes and count to 10 At that time write different time like 12:30,7:00am,6:00 pm etc Then ask the students what they will do at this specific times Eg:I will eat my food at 12:30                We have class at 7 Am etc                 I will reach my house before 6 PM  Repeat the game a couple of times to get students comfortable with using different preposition of time. Main Activity (55 minutes): Teaching the topic (30 minutes)   Prepositions of Time  Explain the importance of prepositions of time in daily life: describing time and events, planning activities, etc.  Write the list of prepositions on the board: (at, on, in, before, after, to, into, out of)  Briefly explain the usage of each preposition: At: For specific times (e.g., at 5 o'clock). On: For days and dates (e.g., on Monday, on January 1st). In: For months, years, seasons (e.g., in December, in 2023, in summer). Before: Refers to an earlier time (e.g., before lunch).

The teacher will point to an object or picture in the room, and students will take turns asking WH questions about it.  For example: Teacher shows a pencil and she needs to tell this is a pencil or this pencil is on the table . Children want to form questions of what the teacher was showing or saying, by the words written in the board as the way know . The teacher encourages and helps the children in an interactive way. Main Activity (50 minutes): Giving idea about topic (20 minutes) The teacher explains the usage of different WH question words:  What: Used to ask about things or information (Example: What is your name? What is this?)  Where: Used to ask about places or locations (Example: Where is the school? Where do you live?) When: Used to ask about time (Example: When is your birthday? When do we eat lunch?) Who: Used to ask about people (Example: Who is your teacher? Who is that?) Why: Used to ask for reasons (Example: Why is the sky blue? Why are you sad?) The teacher ask questions like What: "What is your favorite color?" Where: "Where do you go to school?" When: "When do we have lunch?" Who: "Who is your best friend?" Why: "Why do you like school?" WH-Relay (30 minutes) The teacher divides the class into two groups. Each group will be given a set of simple objects or pictures. One student from each group will come forward and pick an object/picture. They will then ask a WH question related to it to the opposite group For example: Object: A book. Question: "What is this?" or "Where is the book?" The opposing group answers, and the next student comes forward to ask another question. This process will continue until each student has had a chance to ask and answer questions. Follow-Up Activity (15 minutes): Students will write five WH questions about their daily routine and ask a classmate the same questions. They will record their classmate's answers and bring them back to share in the next session. Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks (5 minutes): Divide students into 2 pair in each , they want to ask their pair a question like ,  Where is your house? What is your nickname? Expected Learning Outcome:  Knowledge Building WH Question Types– Students learn the purpose and structure of each WH word:    Question Formation– Understand how to construct grammatically correct WH questions (e.g., "Where is the book?" vs. "The book is where?").  Contextual Usage – Recognize when to use specific WH words (e.g., "Why" for explanations, "When" for time-related queries). Skill Building Critical Thinking – Deciding which WH word fits a context (e.g., choosing "Who" for people vs. "What" for objects). Collaboration – Group activities (WH Relay) foster teamwork and active participation. Session 26: WH questions   Session Title Advanced WH questions Objective By the end of the session, students will:  Be able to form more complex WH questions.  Improve their understanding of question structure.  Practice asking and answering WH questions in full sentences.  Build confidence in using WH words to inquire and share information. Topics/Concept In this session students will learn how to structure questions with WH words (eg  ,Who is, Where is ,Why do) Learn to handle complex WH questions. Application of WH Question in daily life Material Required 1. Whiteboard and markers. 2. Pictures of different situations like, children playing, people working, family eating dinner, a person traveling, a student studying etc. (You can get the pictures from newspapers or any other sources) 3. Objects or images for interactive questioning. Methodology •Interactive learning •Collaborative learning •Hands-on Activity Session Duration 90 Minutes Introduction Activity (10 minutes):                      “Who Am I?”  The teacher will describe a person or an object without naming it. For example: "I am a place where you can see many animals. (I am a zoo.)  Students will guess the object/person by asking questions like "What is it?" or "Where is it?" "Who is your teacher?" "Where do you live?"  "What time is it?"  The teacher will encourage students to form full questions, guiding them to include the WH words in their sentences. Main Topic/Activity (60 minutes):   Review of Previous Session: " Quick Recap of WH Questions" (15 minutes)   The teacher briefly reviews the basic WH questions (What, Where, When, Who, Why) with simple examples.   The teacher writes the question words on the board and asks students to form questions using them. For example:       "Who is your teacher?"       "Where do you live?" - "What time is it?" This activity will refresh the students' understanding of WH questions before moving to more complex sentence structures. Introduction to Complex Question structures   (20 minutes)  Explanation: The teacher introduces the structure of more complex WH questions like "Why are you happy?" vs. "Why is the sky blue?"  Explain that more complex questions may involve different subjects (e.g., person, animal, place) and verbs (e.g., am, are, is, do, did, etc.). The teacher writes a few complex questions on the board and asks students to identify the structure:       "Who is your friend?"      "Why are you happy?"      "Where do you go after school?"   Tell them verbs like am, is, are, do, did, etc are some auxiliary verbs and these are used in most of WH question structures   "Question Creation Challenge"(25 minutes)   Objective: This activity provide students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge of complex question structures in a group setting, reinforcing their understanding through peer interaction.    Provide the students pictures of various situations like a family eating dinner, a person traveling, a student studying).     Divide students into small groups and tell them to form complex WH questions about the pictures. For example:       "What are they eating?"       "Why is the person traveling?"       "Who is studying?" After forming the questions, students will take turns asking and answering their questions within their groups.  Follow up Tasks (10 minutes):     Ask them to prepare 5 WH questions to their friend like what they want to know about their friend like “What is your favorite colour ?,” “Where did you buy this bag ?”etc Review Questions/Assessment Task (10 minutes):                    "WH Questions in Action"  The teacher will call on students randomly to answer a question about themselves. For example       "Why do you like your favorite subject?"       "Who is your favorite teacher?"       "What is your favorite hobby?" Students will answer the questions in full sentences. The teacher will correct any mistakes in question formation or response structure.  Expected Learning  Outcome: Skill Building Students craft complex WH questions from visual prompts, enhancing analytical skills.  Real-life Q&A builds confidence in spontaneous communicatio Knowledge Building Complex Question Structures – Students learn to form advanced WH questions using auxiliary verbs (e.g., "Why are you happy?" vs. "Why is the sky blue?"). Subject-Verb Agreement – Understand how to match WH words with correct verbs (e.g., "Who is..." for singular, "Where are..." for plural). Session 27: Auxiliary Verbs   Session Introduction to Auxiliary Verbs Objective To introduce students to auxiliary verbs (be, do, have) and their functions. To help students identify and use auxiliary verbs in sentences. To engage students in fun and interactive activities to reinforce their learning. Topics/Concept Understanding Auxiliary Verbs Forming Sentences using Auxiliary Verbs Importance of Auxiliary verbs in sentence structure Material Required  Flashcards with auxiliary verbs written on them (e.g., is, am, are, have, has, do, does, did). A set of cards or slips of paper with main verbs (e.g., eating, go, running, sleep, playing, finished). A large space for students to run (or simply a classroom with enough space for students to move around). Methodology Interactive learning through games Teamwork, Collaboration, Cooperative learning Kinesthetic Learning Session Duration  90 Minutes  Intro Activity (15 minutes):                     “Action Verb Charades" Objective: This activity engages students and introduces the concept of action verbs and how auxiliary verbs help them in forming complete sentences Instructions:    The teacher will pick a few students and give them a simple action like "eat," "run," or "sleep."   The student will act out the action, and the rest of the class has to guess the verb.  Afterward, the teacher will ask students, "What helps us to form a sentence with this action?" (Answer: Auxiliary verbs such as "I am eating," "She runs," "He has slept").   Discuss how auxiliary verbs support the main verbs in making a complete sentence.  Main Topic/Activity (60 minutes):        “ What are Auxiliary Verbs"                   (20 minutes)    Begin by explaining that Auxiliary verbs are helping verbs that assist the main verb in a sentence. They are used to indicate tense, mood, or voice.   Write the three main forms of auxiliary verbs on the board: be, do, have.    Provide examples of each: Be: (am,is,are,was,were,being,been) I am playing.        (Continuous tense)   Do: (Did,does,doing)Do you like chocolate?. (For making questions/negatives) Have: (Had,has,having)They have completed their work. (Perfect tense)    Explain how these verbs are used alongside action verbs to form various sentence structures.        ”Auxiliary Verb Relay Race”                          (40 minutes) Split the class into teams of 4-5 students each.  Arrange them in a line so they can race one after the other. Place 2 of them as station masters who represent the stations, then give auxiliary verb card to one station master and main verb card to the other station master Start the relay The first player from each team runs to Station 1 and picks an auxiliary verb card (for example, is or do).  Then, they run to Station 2, where they pick a card with a main verb (e.g., eating or play). 2.  Form a Sentence : Once the student has both the auxiliary verb and the main verb, they return to their team and form a complete sentence using the auxiliary and main verb.     Example : If they picked "is" and "eating," the student should say, "He is eating   If they picked "do" and "play," they should say, "They do play."    3.  Correctness Check:  The next student in the team repeats the process (run to Station 1, pick an auxiliary verb, run to Station 2, pick a main verb, return to the team, form a sentence). The relay continues until all team members have had a turn.     4. Winning the game: The first team to finish their relay race and successfully form all sentences with correct auxiliary verbs wins the game.  After the game, gather the students together and go over the sentences formed during the relay race. Discuss any errors or challenges they faced and provide feedback on how they can improve. Follow Up Tasks (5 minutes): Ask students to write 3 events from their day using auxiliary verb in the sentence like ‘i do my homework everyday, ‘I am going home’ etc.  Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks (10 minutes): Ask students quick questions to check their understanding of auxiliary verbs. Example questions:    "Which auxiliary verb is used for negatives with action verbs?” "Can you give me a sentence with ‘have’ as the auxiliary verb?"   Provide immediate feedback to clarify any confusion. Expected Learning Outcome: Knowledge building:  Students will understand the role of auxiliary verbs (be, do, have) in sentence formation.  Students will be able to recognize and correctly use auxiliary verbs in sentences.  Students will engage in group activities to reinforce their learning and improve sentence formation skills. Skill building: Match auxiliary verbs with main verbs logically (e.g.,"is" + "eating" = "He is eating") develop critical thinking Work in teams during the "Auxiliary Verb Relay Race" to construct sentences.  Peer feedback during correctness checks. Session 28: Auxiliary Verbs Be form   Session Title Auxiliary Verbs Be form {am,is,are,was,were} Objective To understand the auxiliary verb “be” in its different forms (am, is, was, are, were, been, being). To help students understand and practice forming simple sentences using these verbs. To enable students to differentiate between present and past forms of “be” in basic  Concept/ Topic Understanding auxiliary verbs: The students will learn about the different forms of the verb "to be" and how they are used to form different tenses or states of being. Application of the "be" verb forms: The session will include activities where students practice using these forms in sentences, both in affirmative and negative contexts. Building foundational grammar skills: The goal is to help students grasp the importance of auxiliary verbs in sentence construction and to enable them to use these verbs correctly in both spoken and written English. Material Required Whiteboard and markers Flashcards with different actions A ball. Methodology  Kinesthetic Learning: The activities focus on learning through movement, which helps to engage students physically while reinforcing the grammar concepts. Task-based Learning: By playing games and completing tasks, students learn by doing, which enhances their understanding and retention of auxiliary verbs. Collaborative Learning: Group work and pair work encourage peer interaction, helping students learn from one another. Session Duration 90 Minutes Intro Activity (15 minutes):                       " Verb charades" Objective: This activity activates prior knowledge, warms up students' speaking abilities, and introduces the concept of using auxiliary verbs to describe ongoing or past actions. The teacher writes down a list of action verbs (e.g., running, jumping, swimming, eating) on flashcards.  One student selects a flashcard and acts out the verb, while the class guesses the action   After the action is guessed, the class will form a sentence using an auxiliary verb:     "I am running."     "He is eating."     "They were swimming.” Main Topic/ Activity (60 minutes):     Introducing Be form of Auxiliary verb                                (20 minutes)  Explain that auxiliary verbs help us create sentences that describe actions, conditions, or states. They assist in forming questions, negatives, and continuous actions.    Introducing Forms of “Be”: Present Tense:         Am: Used with I (e.g., I am happy.)        Is: Used with he, she, it(e.g., She is reading.)       Are: Used with we, you, they (e.g., They are playing. Past Tense:       Was: Used with I, he, she, it (e.g., I was tired.)      Were: Used with we, you, they (e.g., They were at school.)    Ask the students to write it in their note.Make sure that they get the topic because this is the basics.                   Verb Action Toss                            (20 minutes)     Students will stand in a circle.    A ball will be tossed between students.    The student receiving the ball will create a sentence using an auxiliary verb such as:     “I was tired yesterday.”     “She is happy today.”     “We were at the park.”   The student must pass the ball to another student after completing their sentence.   If the student does not say the correct sentence, the group must help them by providing suggestions.             Verb Movement Freeze Game                              (20 minutes) Objective: To engage students physically while reinforcing the concept of auxiliary verbs in sentences.    Students are asked to walk, run, or hop around the room while the teacher plays music.     When the music stops, the teacher will call out an auxiliary verb, such as "am," "is," or "are."    Students must freeze and make a sentence using that verb. For example:      “Am”: “I am jumping.”      “Is”: “He is running.”      “Are”: “They are walking.”   This will help them associate the verb with an action. Follow up Tasks (5 minutes):   Students can write five sentences at home using the auxiliary verbs am, is, are, was, and were, based on their day-to-day activities.    Write two sentences in present tense (am/is/are) and three in past tense (was/were). Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks: (10 minutes)            Go over the key points learned: auxiliary verbs am, is, are, was, and were.   Write a few sentences on the board with missing auxiliary verbs and ask students to fill in the correct one. Q&A:  Allow students to ask any questions they may have doubt about the auxiliary verbs. Praise and encouragement for active participation. Expected Learning  Outcome: Knowledge building Students will be able to identify and use the auxiliary verbs "am," "is," "are," "was," and "were" in simple sentences. Students will be able to ask and answer simple questions using the auxiliary verbs “be.” Apply "be" verbs in affirmative, negative, and continuous contexts (implied in activities). Skill building  By the activity Verb Charades: Students guess actions and verbalize sentences ("I am running").    Verb Action Toss: Create sentences aloud   Peer feedback in Verb Action Toss and Freeze Game Session 29: Auxiliary verbs(Have Forms,Do forms, modal verbs)   Session Title Auxiliary verbs(Have Forms, Do forms, Modal verbs) Objective By the end of the session. Students will: Understand and correctly use have, do, will/shall, may/might, and can/could auxiliary verbs.  Use have, do, and modal verbs in different contexts (e.g., have for possession or experience, do for questions and negatives, and modal verbs for possibility or ability). Build confidence in using these auxiliary verbs in speaking and writing. Topics/Concept Understanding Auxiliary Verbs and their role in forming questions, negatives, and tenses. Introduction to Have/Has/ Had, Do/Did/Does, Use of models  Application of auxiliary verbs in real life conversations Material Required Sentence strip      2. Board to Chalk        3. Space for students to move around Methodology Interactive learning Game-based approach  Peer learning and team collaboration Session Duration 90 Minutes Intro Activity (10 minutes):                           Simon says The teacher acts as Simon and gives commands.  Start each command with “Simon says…” Example: “Simon says touch your nose.” Students must only follow the action if you say “Simon says.”  If you say just “Touch your nose” (without “Simon says”), they shouldn’t move.  Anyone who moves on a wrong command is playfully "out" or gets a gentle reminder. Main Topic/ Activity (65 minutes): Explaining the Auxiliary verbs(35 minutes)                                   Have Forms (have, has, had): Show how these are used for possession, experiences, and forming perfect tenses. Do Forms (do, does, did): Explain how these are used for questions, negatives, and emphatic statements. Will/Shall: Discuss how these are used for future actions or requests. May/Might: Explain the use of these verbs for permission, possibility, and likelihood. Can/Could: Teach the difference between ability (can), requests, and possibility (could).         Verb treasure hunt (30 minutes) Setup : Prepare 10–15 sentence strips with missing auxiliary verbs (e.g., “I __ a pencil,” “__ you like mangoes?”). Hide them around the classroom (under desks, behind books, on the door, etc.). How to Play :  Split the class into small teams. Each group hunts for a sentence strip.  When they find one, they return to their seat and fill in the correct auxiliary verb.  Once all strips are found and completed, students read them aloud. Discuss the answers as a group and correct any mistakes together. Why It Works : Combines movement with grammar, making auxiliary verb usage feel natural and fun. Follow up Tasks (5 minutes):   Ask students to write 1 sentences for each auxiliary verbs they've learned in class (have, do, will/shall, may/might, can/could). The sentences should reflect correct usage and should be shared in the next class. Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks (10 minutes):   Write several scrambled sentences on the board or large chart (e.g., "I / swim / can" or "they / will / go / school / tomorrow").  Call random students and tell them to unscramble the sentence, and write it correctly(e.g., “I can swim” or “They will go school tomorrow)  If one didn't get the answer encourage other children to help  Expected Learning  Outcome: Knowledge building:  Students will be able to identify and use auxiliary verbs (have, do, will/shall, may/might, can/could) in context. Apply auxiliary verbs with correct subject - verb agreement The physical activities will engage students actively, making the learning process more enjoyable and memorable.     Skill building: Participate in "Simon Says" to reinforce action verbs and commands.  Verbally construct sentences with auxiliary verbs during the treasure hunt.  Engage in peer discussions while unscrambling sentences. Session 30: Tenses Introduction Session Title Tenses Introduction Objective By the end of this session, students will be able to:  Understand that tenses show time of action – past, present, or future.  Identify actions related to yesterday, today, and  Use basic tenses in simple spoken  Topics/Concept Tense = Time of action Three types of time: Past, Present, Future Simple usage of verbs in each tense Material Required 1. Verb cards 2. Board and chalk 3. Open space for movement Methodology Active learning Collaborative learning Contextualization Session Duration  90 Minutes Intro Activity (15 minutes):                   Action statues  Tell the children that you will call out different actions. When you say an action, they need to start doing it.  Explain that when you shout "Freeze!", they must stop immediately and hold their pose like a statue.  Start with a few simple actions and practice freezing. For example: "Jump!" (Children jump) "Freeze!" (Children stop in their jumping pose) "Run!" (Children run) "Freeze!" (Children stop clapping) Continue these Action statues for a few minutes just to warm up the children. Main Topic/ Activity (50 minutes)               What is "When" (30 minutes)  Draw a clock on board or pointing to the classroom clock tell children to "Look at this clock. What does it tell us?" (Encourage answers like "time," "what time it is," etc.)  Tell them today we are going to study a new topic that is very essential in English, we are going to talk about how we know when things happen in our sentences. We call this 'tenses'. It's like having a special way to show if something is happening now, if it already happened, or if it will happen later."  Teacher: "Imagine you are telling a story. It's important to know when each part of the story took place, right?" (Give a simple example: "I ate breakfast this morning." vs. "I will eat lunch soon.")                   Tenses Area(20 minutes) Divide three corners of class as past area, present area, and future area. Then briefly introduce the idea that verbs change based on when the action happens—before now (past), now (present), or after now (future). Demonstrate with Examples: Show a verb card (e.g., "jump") and say:     "Yesterday, I jumped." (Past)     "Today, I am jumping." (Present)     "Tomorrow, I will jump." (Future) Student Participation:  Ask students to form a circle and call on students to pick 2 verb cards each and place it in the correct section of the area, saying a sentence for each tense form Follow up Task (5 minutes) Ask students to write the things :     One thing that they did yesterday    One thing they are doing today     One thing they will do tomorrow Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks (20 minutes)   Tell them to think about their day - today, something you did yesterday, and something you are looking forward to do tomorrow.   For each of these three times (yesterday, today, tomorrow), draw a simple picture representing an action you did or will do.   Below each picture, write a very short sentence describing the action and include a word that tells us when it happened or will happen . Expected Learning Outcome: Knowledge building-  Understand that "tense" relates to when an action takes place in a sentence.   Differentiate between actions happening now, actions that already happened, and actions that will happen. Recognize simple time-related words (like "yesterday," "today," "tomorrow," "ago," "soon") as indicators of when an action occurs. Skill building- Work in groups to categorize verbs into past, present, and future areas.  Engage in peer discussions while forming sentences.  Participate in "Action Statues" to associate verbs physically Session 31: Past tense Session Title Past tense Objective By the end of the session, students will be able to: Understand what Simple Past Tense is. Identify regular and a few irregular past tense verbs. Form and use simple past tense sentences. Topics/Concept Understanding simple past tense Identifying regular and irregular Verbs Forming and using past tense sentences Material Required Slips of paper with regular and irregular verbs Small box or bowl Board and chalk Methodology Activity-based learning Constructive approach Collaborative learning Session Duration  90 Minutes Intro Activity (15 minutes):         “Yesterday,I….”!    Students want to sit in a circle   The first student starts by saying a sentence beginning with: “Yesterday, I…” and completes it with an activity using a past tense verb. Example:    “Yesterday, I played football.”    “Yesterday, I ate mangoes.” The next student must repeat the previous sentence(s) and add their own. Example:    “Yesterday, I played football, and I watched TV.”  Continue around the circle. Each student adds one more sentence to the chain, using a new past tense verb.  If someone forgets or makes a mistake, offer support and gently correct the tense if needed. Main Topic/ Activity (60 minutes):       What is Past Tense? (20 minutes)                                 The past tense is used to talk about something that already happened. It tells us about actions or events that took place before now — yesterday, last week, or even just a minute ago!   Types of Past Tense Verbs: 1. Regular Verbs – We just add -ed- at the end.    walk → walked     jump → jumped    clean → cleaned 2. Irregular Verbs – The spelling changes completely or doesn't follow a rule.     go → went    eat → ate    buy → bought  Give them more examples of irregular verbs                 Story Time (20 minutes)                       Tell the students that the story you are telling about is something that happened yesterday.   Story = “Raju’s Busy Day ”   Yesterday, Raju woke up early. He brushed his teeth and ate a banana. Then, he packed his bag and ran to school. At school, he wrote a test and drew a picture in art class. After school, he played with his friends and came home tired. He watched TV, read a book, and finally, he slept. Write this story on the board and call students to underline past tense verbs on the board."  Purpose : Children connect deeply with stories. When a story is told in the past tense, it provides a natural, engaging way to introduce and reinforce past tense verb forms without a heavy grammar focus. Charades: Past Tense Edition (20 minutes)                                  Write a mix of regular and irregular past tense verbs on small pieces of paper.  Fold and place them in a bowl or container.  Divide the class into two teams.  One student from Team A comes up and picks a slip from the bowl. The student then has 30 seconds to act out the verb without speaking.  Their team tries to guess the verb in past tense (e.g., “danced”, not “dance”).  If the team guesses correctly within the time, they score a point.  If not, the other team gets one chance to guess and steal the point!  Then it’s Team B’s turn, and the game continues. Example Verbs to Include: Regular : walked, cooked, cleaned, smiled, jumped, clapped  Irregular : ate, went, ran, drank, sang, wrote, slept, drove The team with the most correct guesses at the end of the game wins! Follow up Tasks (5 minutes): Quickly review:   What are regular verbs?   What are irregular verbs? For homework : Ask students to write 5 sentences using simple past tense (3 regular + 2 irregular) Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks (10 minutes): Fill in the Blanks” board activity:  I ___ (go) to school yesterday. → went She ___ (play) football. → played They ___ (eat) ice cream. → ate We ___ (watch) a movie. → watched Expected Learning  Outcome: Knowledge building: Identify the concept of past tense and recognize when to use it in everyday situations. Use regular and irregular verbs in simple past tense form while speaking and writing short sentences. Differentiate between regular and irregular past tense verb forms (e.g., played vs ate). Skill building: Charades: past tense edition helps students verbally guess past tense verbs ("You danced!"). Peer interaction and group problem-solving.  By story time activity students collectively identify the past tense verbs. Session 32: Present Tense Session Title Present Tense Objective By the end of the session, students will be able to: Understand the structure and use of the simple present tense. Form affirmative and negative sentences using simple present tense.  Speak and write about daily routines, habits, and general truths using the correct tense. Engage in fun and meaningful activities that reinforce the use of present tense. Topics/Concept Understanding simple present tense  Verb recognition in context  Applying subject verb Agreement Material Required  Bingo cards (homemade or drawn on paper)  Marker board and markers  Sentence strips Methodology Kinesthetic learning Collaborative learning   Visual aids (charts and sentence frames) Reinforcement through repetition and fun Session Duration  90 Minutes Introduction Activity (10 minutes):                       Act it out Ask for 5–6 volunteers to come forward.  Give each a flashcard with a simple daily action: brush, read, jump, sleep, etc. They silently act out the action.  The rest of the class guesses the action like “She reads a book.” / “He sleeps in the bed. Main Topic/ Activity (60 minutes):       Concept introduction (30 minutes)    Explain the simple present tense is used to talk about habits, routines, and general truths Examples:    I brush my teeth.   The sun rises in the east.   She drinks milk every day. Structure : Subject Verb Form Example I/You/We/They Base verb I walk to school. He/She/It Verb + s/es She walks to school. Negative Form: I/You/We/They = Do not + base form Eg = I do not (don’t) eat fish.  He/She/It = Does not + base verb Eg = She does not (doesn’t) like carrots. - Base verb always follows don’t/doesn’t."            Sentence Relay (30 minutes)  Divide the class into groups (4 students in each)  Distribute one Bingo card to each group.Each Bingo card has 9 verbs (e.g., eat, play, sleep) in random order."  Give each group a pencil to mark  The teacher calls out a sentence in the simple present tense using a subject and a verb. Example “She eats.” ,"They play," "We dance," "You study."   Students must identify the verb ("eat") on their card. If the verb matches one on their card, they mark it.  The first group to mark a complete row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) shouts “Bingo!” The group who wins reads out their marked verbs in full present tense sentences to confirm accuracy.   Follow up Tasks (5 minutes): Ask students to "Write 5 sentences about your daily routine. Use at least:   3 singular subjects (He/She).   2 plural subjects (I/We/They)." Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks (15 minutes):  Ask questions like “What do we use present tense for?” Get a few students to share a sentence using “I” and “He/She”.     Correct or incorrect Teacher says a sentence like   “He eat mangoes.” (Incorrect)  “They play football.” (Correct) Students show thumbs up or down. Expected Learning  Outcome: Knowledge building: Students understand the usage and structure of the present tense. They can identify and correctly use simple present verbs. They show improved participation and understanding through physical and interactive activities. Skill building:  "Act It Out": Verbalize actions ("She reads a book"). By bingo card activity students listen for verbs and construct sentences aloud. Sentence Relay activity include teamwork to identify verbs and form sentences.  Session 33: Future tense Session Title Future tense Objective By the end of the session, students will able to:  Understand the structure and use of simple future tense. Form affirmative and negative future tense sentences using "will". Talk about future plans, predictions, and promises. Topics/Concept Understand the concept of future tense (actions that are going to happen). Use "will" and "going to" correctly in simple sentences. Compare past, present, and future tenses in a simple summary. Material Required White board and marker Reward sticker   Name Tags or Chits (optional)   to randomly select who speaks next (helps shy students feel included). Methodology Student - Centered learning  Kinesthetic and Auditory Learning Task based learning Session Duration 90 Minutes Intro Activity (10 minutes):                     The whisper chain  The teacher whispers a simple sentence to the first student in the line/circle Example : “My cat wears sunglasses on rainy days.” That student whispers the sentence to the next person, and so on, without repeating. The last student says the sentence out loud for the whole class to hear. Everyone laughs comparing the original sentence with the final version—usually it changes a lot along the way! Can go for 3 or 4 rounds Main Topic/ Activity (65 minutes):           Starter Talk: "What Will You Do?"                            (25 minutes)  Ask students fun questions like What will you do after school?  What will you eat for dinner ? Will you go to the moon one day?  Explain, Future tense =  is used to talk about something that has not happened yet, but will happen. We often use:  will + base verb → I will eat  going to + base verb → I am going to play Also mention:  Negative form: Subject + will not + base verb Example : He will not play today. Write a few examples on the board: I will dance.  He is going to study.  Anna will not come today               “Job jukebox” (30 minutes) Tell students that they’re going to become mini speakers today and share their dream ambition/job and what they will do when they become that.

Example Sentences:   “I brushed my teeth.” → run to Past   “She is reading a book.” → run to Present   “They will go to the zoo.” → run to Future Follow up Tasks (5 minutes):   Ask them to write 3 sentences: 1 with 'will', 1 with 'going to', and 1 negative future sentence." Remember them :     " Knowing your tenses is like having a time machine in your words! You can go to the past, stay in the present, or fly into the future!"  Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks (10 minutes):               Mini-Worksheet or Quiz    Fill in the blanks using “will” or “going to”:   I ____ watch TV tonight. She ____ visit her grandmother. We ____ play a game after class.   Go over the answers quickly and give positive feedback.     The 3 Tenses Recap (5 min) Create a simple chart together on the board: | Tense   | Example             | |---------|---------------------| | Past    | I played.           | | Present | I play.             | | Future  | I will play.        | Ask them What did you do yesterday?
