A ready-to-teach actions lesson built on the five-block structure: land & warm, teach, play, produce, land. Every link below opens with this topic already loaded β€” the plan runs from one browser tab.

Before the lesson (1 minute)

  • Open the actions topic page in a tab β€” the word wall doubles as your flashcards and pronunciation guide.
  • Offline or with a printer: print the flashcards sheet. Two items maximum on the child's desk.
πŸ—‚οΈ Actions pack

Warm-up (0–3 min)

The fixed opening: wave + name + hello song. Then thirty seconds of topic TPR: "Show me a run! Now be a jump!" β€” bodies first, words after.

Teach: six words (3–9 min)

  • πŸƒ run (Π±Π΅Π³Π°Ρ‚ΡŒ) β€” show, say, echo in a silly voice, tap the card to hear it.
  • ⛹️ jump (ΠΏΡ€Ρ‹Π³Π°Ρ‚ΡŒ) β€” show, say, echo in a silly voice, tap the card to hear it.
  • 🏊 swim (ΠΏΠ»Π°Π²Π°Ρ‚ΡŒ) β€” show, say, echo in a silly voice, tap the card to hear it.
  • πŸ’ƒ dance (Ρ‚Π°Π½Ρ†Π΅Π²Π°Ρ‚ΡŒ) β€” show, say, echo in a silly voice, tap the card to hear it.
  • 🎀 sing (ΠΏΠ΅Ρ‚ΡŒ) β€” show, say, echo in a silly voice, tap the card to hear it.
  • 😴 sleep (ΡΠΏΠ°Ρ‚ΡŒ) β€” show, say, echo in a silly voice, tap the card to hear it.
πŸ’‘Six is the honest limit for one lesson. The rest of the topic waits for lesson two β€” greed here costs retention there.

Play (9–17 min)

Main game on today's words β€” Memory in picture↔word mode (say every card aloud), or Bingo if the child likes hunting. One game played twice beats two games played once.

Produce (17–22 min)

  • Personal questions with today's words: "Do YOU like the run? Which one is big? Which is your favourite?"
  • Or spin Name 3 β€” when the cube lands anywhere near today's theme, watch the recall fireworks.
🌌 Name 3

Land (22–25 min)

  • The suitcase: 'What are you taking home?' β€” each child packs one word.
  • A star on the chart, the fixed goodbye song, camera wave.

Six actions words met seven ways in twenty-five minutes β€” and next lesson starts by waking these words before adding more. Steal this structure for any topic; the games re-load in one tap.
