Teacher notes

This engaging Stage 1 lesson (ages 7–8) introduces circus-themed vocabulary while teaching the grammar structure is / isn’t + adjective to describe objects and characters. Students practise forming sentences such as “The clown is funny.”, “The lion is big.”, “The ball isn’t grey.”, and “The elephant isn’t weak.”

The lesson also focuses on the /sm/ phonics sound with the words smile, smart, smore, and smell, helping students develop early pronunciation and sound recognition skills. Through interactive games, movement activities, and speaking tasks, students progress from recognising vocabulary to describing items using simple sentences.

Target words: clown, ball, lion, elephant, hoop, drumroll

Students practise vocabulary through image quizzes, matching games, and repetition activities.

Students practise describing objects and animals through quick-response games, sentence completion, and true/false activities.

Learners describe images, complete sentences, and respond quickly using the target grammar structures.
