Lesson plan

Introduction

In this lesson, learners will practise the alphabet, the letter names and sounds and writing upper and
lower case through a song and various games. For extension, they will watch a story about animals
for every letter of the alphabet, and work as a class to produce an alphabet wall frieze or a picture
dictionary.

Procedure

1. Introduce the topic (5 mins)

 Draw pictures of an apple, a banana and a cat on the board. Elicit what they are from

learners. Write A, B, C in upper case next to each picture. Ask learners, if they can,

to tell you the rest of the alphabet. Write the letters on the board.

 Now invite learners to come up to the board and write the lower-case letters next to

the corresponding upper-case letters.


2. Song

(20–30 mins)

 Play ‘The alphabet song’. Let learners shout out the letters of the alphabet as they

appear on the coconuts. After the song, give learners the activity sheet and ask them

to complete exercise 1 by writing the remaining letters in the alphabet. They can use

the alphabet on the board for reference.

 Say the alphabet together as a class, in the same sections as in the song. Focus on

any letters that are particularly difficult for your learners.

 Now practise the five other lines of the song together, and then sing along to it.

 Next, play a game. One learner says any letter of the alphabet, and the other

learners must try to be the first to say the next letter. The learner who says the next

letter then says another letter, and so on. Play as a class first until they get the hang

of the game, then they can play in small groups.

3. Round of

Activity (5 mins)

Now give learners exercise 2 of the activity sheet. They write their name and draw a

picture of themselves. Which learners have the most and least letters in their name?

(15–20 mins)
