My name’s Korkem. I’m eight years old. I’m from Aktau. I’ve got two brothers and one sister. My best friend is Akbota. She’s in my class.

Bye for now.

Korkem

Step 3 Play the game.

Tell the pupils that they are going to play a game. Point to the picture and read out the speech bubbles. The pupils repeat after you. Explain the game. Ask the pupils to sit in a circle. Choose a pupil (Pupil A) to stand in the middle of the circle with his/her eyes closed. Choose a pupil from the circle (Pupil B) to say: Good morning, your Majesty! Pupil A tries to guess the name of the pupil. Encourage him/her to say, e.g. This is my friend, Saule. Finally, Pupil A returns to the circle, Pupil B stands in the middle of the circle and the game continues. Repeat the game until all the pupils have had a chance to play.
