Introduction (warmer activity + teacher active engagement)

Before start the lesson, we will do the daily routine by singing, welcoming, and listening to the Quran.
First, I will illustrate some basic classroom rules for the children to help reinforce the good behavior
in the class by showing the reward system, and the classroom rules. then, I will engage them in the
lesson by using a different tool this time, which a software to show electronic story with animations
and sounds. This story will focus about animals legs in the farm. I will experience the electronic
story to see the children reaction and the engaging extent to it.

The story is about a small farmer who went to see the animals on the farm and noticed that animals
have different numbers of legs. While noticing each animal, he will ask about the animals name and
sound. Through that the children will listen to the animals sounds. The story will focus on the
animals legs, ask the children to count the animals legs and identify if it is four or two. Next, there
will be a short review to check childrens understanding. I will set in the floor, bring file inside it the
paper plates animals without legs (the legs will be fold). I will ask the children about the animals
name and number of his legs. After this review, will move to the activities in the tables.

Note: I will attempt to use a transition to move to the groups. I will try to make train, lead the children
to the groups.

Circle time activity, finding paper animals legs:

Time: 15 min
Whole

Independent Experience (small group activity 1):

To examine childrens mental ability, children will sort farm animals by putting the animal in the
correct basket.
Note: to avoid children fighting or mixing the animals cards, each child will have the cards in
different color.

The activity picture (the sorting will be in two baskets):

Independent Experience (small group activity 2):

For the second activity, children will have animals pictures without legs and some paint on the plate.
Children will put one finger on the paint to make the animals legs.

Independent Experience (small group activity 3):

For the third activity, children will make an animal puppet by gluing the animals parts. Children will
put there fingers in the holes and I will ask them how many legs do their animals have? After that
children my start role playing with the animals puppets and asking each other about the numbers of
the legs their animals have.
The third activity picture:

Independent Experience (small group activity 4):

An extra activity, children will have the animals masks, they play the animals role and showing how
many legs the are walking in. This activity could be suitable for Mohammad who is active child that
may has fun through playing, walking like a certain animal addition, it is good to assess him and let
children have fun with this activity.

I will show the children the masks first and ask them about number of legs for each animal then, let
them choose animal mask to play his role and walk like it.

The fourth activity picture:

 The children will start singing and clean up then, and they will go to play in the corners.

Note: I will try to use cleaning song or if it is possible, or I will use the Tidy up Rhumba song to
motivate them.

then, notice that farm animals have
different numbers of legs. Which in
anther words, dived the lesson in
small parts.
In addition, children age is a difficult
element where the lesson should be
very basic. Even the simple concepts
need to minimize and simplify in
order to recognize it.
EBI Even Better If In this lesson, there are
numerous of points that need
to be modify. They are:
