Song (5 minutes)

The song activity can be performed with one consistent song or
songs that vary across the theme. If your group of students
requires more repetition, sing the same song for every lesson.
Songs about greetings, days of the week, or songs that have
gestures are great choices. This activity is also a great break
between seated activities. You can encourage participation by using
hand signs and visual choices. If a student chooses more than one
song, place the pictures on a board that says, “first, then.”
Examples of songs are found on the first page of each unit. To find
more songs and visuals that go with the songs, visit

Surprise Bag (10-15 minutes)

The purpose of the surprise bag is to introduce the theme and any
relevant vocabulary. Allow the students to sit on the floor and
take turns pulling a surprise out of the surprise bag. Surprise
items vary according to theme. Each chapter includes picture
cards (section A of each chapter) that can be printed and cut apart
for quick lesson preparation. There are also suggestions for real
objects to be used with each theme.

The following is a sample script with suggested goals:
