What's Your Name?

Objective & content

A two-page printable that goes with the Now You Say It episode What's Your Name?: the first morning in class, with Max and Mila at their desks and the teacher saying hello. Pupils name eight things in the room, write their own name, then colour the scene, with the teacher key on page two.

Pedagogical guide

Every word is A1 in the glossary and every one is a thing the picture shows, so a true beginner meets it with the object in front of them. It is the first morning of the year, exactly as in the episode, so asking the class "What is your name?" before they write reuses the episode's own opening line.

Suggested procedure

1. (3 min) Ask "What is your name?" around the class, as the teacher does in the episode.
2. (10 min) Hand out page 1. Pupils write the word for each numbered thing from the list.
3. (5 min) Pupils answer the last line with their own name.
4. (5 min) Correct from page 2.
5. (10 min) Colouring.

Adaptations

[S] Read the word list aloud and let pupils match number to word.

[A] Fold the word list away and let pupils write from memory, then check with a partner.

Materials & prerequisites

Page 1 printed for every pupil, plus coloured pencils. Keep page 2, the teacher key. Black and white printing is enough and is what the sheet is designed for.
