Toys & fun — a ready 25-minute lesson plan

June 28, 2026 · 4 min read

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

Before the lesson (1 minute)

  • Open the Toys topic page in a tab — 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.
  • And after this lesson? The age page below puts this topic in teaching order with the rest of that age's topics.

Warm-up (0–3 min)

The fixed opening: wave + name + hello song. Then thirty seconds of topic TPR: "Show me a ball! Now be a doll!" — bodies first, words after.

Teach: six words (3–9 min)

  • ⚽ ball (мяч) — show, say, echo in a silly voice, tap the card to hear it.
  • 🪆 doll (кукла) — show, say, echo in a silly voice, tap the card to hear it.
  • 🪁 kite (воздушный змей) — show, say, echo in a silly voice, tap the card to hear it.
  • 🥁 drum (барабан) — show, say, echo in a silly voice, tap the card to hear it.
  • 🎸 guitar (гитара) — show, say, echo in a silly voice, tap the card to hear it.
  • 🤖 robot (робот) — show, say, echo in a silly voice, tap the card to hear it.
Toys & fun: all 16 words in English
Six is the honest limit for one lesson. The rest of the topic waits for lesson two — greed here costs retention there.

Play (9–17 min)

Main game on today's words — 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 ball? Which one is big? Which is your favourite?"
  • Or spin Name 3 — 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?' — each child packs one word.
  • A star on the chart, the fixed goodbye song, camera wave.
