DIDÁCTICA: Design a listening activity

Pre-listening

1. I will enumerate the aliens from 1 to 9 and ask the childrens some questions: How many eyes has alien number 3? How many legs has alien 6?. With this kind of questions, they will review some vocabulary about the parts of the body.

2. I will ask the childrens one by one which alien they like most and why.

While-listening

1. Previously the children would have prepared some legs, arms and eyes made with newspapers and plasticines. They will make a circle and put inside all the legs, arms and eyes. I will call them one by one and tell them to transform to an alien following my instructions "You are going to be an alien with three legs, four eyes and six arms".

2. As they continue in the circle, this time I will call the children in small groups (from two to four) and with their own bodys they would have to create a single alien following once again my intructions.

Post-listening

1. To finish the activity, I will ask the children to draw an alien with the characteristics I would say. "Your alien would have 4 heads, 8 eyes, 4 arms and 3 legs".

2. I will give each children a piece of paper with the aliens picture. I will describe one of them and they would have to circle it. We can repeat this until all the aliens have been described.
