Do You Have Any Brothers or Sisters?

Objective & content

Max, Mila, Luna and Ben are asked in turn whether they have any brothers or sisters. Max has a big sister, Mila a big brother and a little sister, Ben a little brother, and Luna answers No, I don't. The narrator repeats each answer calmly, and the episode ends with the class's turn after Now you say it! The question is learned whole as a fixed formula, with family words (big, little, brother, sister) shown by the pictures. Pupils listen, point at the family members they see and repeat; no reading or writing is involved.
