In the beginning of the class, we will ask the students for some activities they took out during the last weekend. Then, we’ll ask them to make an ID for themselves, in order to make it easier for us to identify each one of them by their names. After that, we´ll play a couple of songs with some deleted words, which they must complete if they want to get a candy as a prize. We´ll explain the main topic: Past Simple. And we´ll play with them some games like Bingo and Match the columns.
