Suggest the students to play the game “A stranger”. The purpose of
this game is to practise saying the question form Who is this? Ask the children to stay in a circle. A student-volunteer throws a ball
to the children and asks the question. The learners should catch the
ball and introduce a student next to him/her.
Exercise 2. Answer: Who is this?
Before doing this exercise train the children to say the family words:
grandfather/grandmother/father/mother/sister/brother. It is possible
to show the flashcards or to say the words in their first language or
to show the puppets. Encourage them to chant. Then ask the children
to add more words(my): my grandmother, this is my grandmother, etc.
