    Lesson plan
    Introduction
    In this lesson, Ss will be introduced to the popular song I can run. Ss will listen to the song, complete comprehension activities, practise the vocabulary and structure in the song, and sing the song. Finally Ss can do some extension work of the vocabulary and language based on the song, surveying their classmates and creating new verses for the song.

    Procedure
    1. Introduce the topic and vocabulary (5-10 mins) 2. Listening to the song and introduction of written form of vocab (10 mins) 3. Focus on structure (10-15 mins) Review or teach the actions in the song: run, jump, swim, hop, skip. Remind Ss they should do the actions on the spot rather than moving around the room. Play Simon Says. Play the song. Encourage Ss to do the actions during the song. Play the song again. This time, encourage Ss to sing along as well as do the actions. Ss complete part 1 of the activity sheet: match the picture and the word. Check answers. Ask Ss to tell you what they can do. Encourage Ss to use I can as well as the verb. Play a game. Nominate two Ss to come to the front and stand with their backs to you. Prepare pictures of the actions and hold one up. When you say go, the two Ss must turn around and make a sentence I can with the action you are holding. Ss complete part 2 of the activity sheet: write what they can do and draw a picture. Write the question Can you swim? on the board. Tell the Ss your answer to the question. Encourage Ss to ask you more questions, reformulating where necessary. Now write your answer on the board (Yes, I can. or No, I cant.) and ask which Ss have the same answer. Repeat the answer together. Now ask which Ss have the other answer, and they repeat. Ask Ss more questions, drilling the answers in two groups (those who say yes and those who say no) each time. Play a game. Print, draw or write the actions on a large piece of paper. Ss play in groups of 3 or 4. One student in the group only answers the questions. The other Ss ask Can you? questions. The student must answer No, I cant. several times, until finally Yes, I can. at which point the other Ss must try to be the first to touch the picture/word of that particular action on the paper. Brainstorm some more actions with the Ss, e.g. climb, ski, spin, cook, etc. Demonstrate meaning by doing the actions, and write the words on the board. Write a question with one of the new actions on the board. Ask every student Can you ? and put a tick or a cross next to the question for every answer. Ask the Ss how many people can and how many people cant do the activity. Ss count the ticks and crosses and tell you.

    4. Further oral practise and extension of structure (10-15 mins)

    5. Oral and written personalised production of the language (15 mins)

    Lesson plan
    Ss write 5 questions with 5 actions of their choosing in their notebooks. Then they conduct a class survey by asking their classmates and putting ticks and crosses. At the end, they count the ticks and crosses and write the numbers for each question. Depending on your Ss, they could produce a bar chart of the results, or each student could report back to the class the results of one of their questions (5 children can etc). 6. Oral extension of the language (5-10 mins) Look back at the brainstorm of actions on the board. Ss vote for their 4 favourite alternative actions. Now practise each verse slowly with the Ss, using the new actions (instead of jump, swim, hop and skip). Remember to keep the action run in each verse too (to rhyme with fun). Now sing and do the actions! For homework, Ss could make a poster about what they can and cant do. These would also make nice display work for the classroom. Alternatively, they could write more questions to survey their friends and family. If Ss have internet access at home, they can practise the song, play these games for can/cant, or this game for sports. http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/teaching-kids/using-songs
