Step 4: Game
·Write this sentence on the blackboard: ‘I am going to the supermarket to buy …’. Start the game by adding an item at the end of the sentence. e.g. I am going to the supermarket to buy some bread. Ask the next student to repeat your sentence, and add another item, e.g. I am going to the supermarket to buy some bread and some eggs. Go round the class, asking each student to add another item to the list. The game ends when a student cannot remember all the items.
·Bring to class 10-15 food items that were already introduced in the unit. Place them on your desk for everyone to see. Ask students to look at the items carefully for one minute, then cover the items with a cloth or a large piece of paper. Ask students to write down as many items as they can remember with the correct article ‘a’ or ‘an’.
