The lesson flow

  1. 8′Warm-up — Teacher mimes waking up, stretching, and yawning. Children copy the actions and shout 'Wake up!' together. Teacher then mimes eating breakfast and brushing teeth, asking children to guess and act along.
  2. 12′Presentation — Teacher shows flashcards one by one (wake up, get dressed, eat breakfast, brush my teeth, go to school, do my homework, go to bed) and says each phrase with a mime. Teacher introduces the frame 'I always [verb].' using gestures for 'always,' 'usually,' and 'never,' modeling with two or three vocabulary items.
  3. 15′Practice — Teacher calls out a routine picture and a frequency adverb (always, usually, never); children stand up and say the full sentence aloud, e.g. 'I never brush my teeth' with a silly face for fun. Teacher then puts children in pairs to take turns saying three sentences each using different vocabulary and adverbs.
  4. 15′Song — Teacher plays the song 'My Day, My Way' and leads actions for each routine word. Children sing the chorus twice, focusing on the repeated frame 'I always... I never...' while doing the matching mimes.
  5. 10′Wrap-up — Teacher asks a few children to share one true sentence about their own routine using the frame. Class claps after each sentence, and teacher reviews flashcards one last time by holding them up for a quick chant.
