• animal: Category word for charades cards.

Warm-up (5min)

Main Activity (25min): "Charades & Sentence Guess"

Volunteer acts animal from card — class guesses. Winner gives full sentence: "It is a frog. It hops." Rotate actors. Round 2: teams of 3 prepare 30-second charade for another team. Sort animal cards into land/air/water after each guess.

Wrap-up (5min)

Draw favorite animal + one action sentence.

Teacher Tips

• TPR releases energy mid-week — good after writing-heavy Lesson 04.
• Require sentence answer, not just animal name shouted.
• Prep 12 charade cards in advance — no obscure animals at G1.
