GAME GENERAL AIM:

SS will be able to analyze and implement simple sentences to express preferences about activities.

IMPORTANCE:

This game look for students to build a foundation for real-life exposure. Expressing likes and dislikes is one of the first abilities learners need when starting to interact socially, whether in class, with friends, or in everyday contexts. Additionally:

• It boosts motivation because students talk about topics they care about.
• It supports accuracy, preventing early fossilization of incorrect structures.

• It promotes fluency because the sentences are simple and repetitive, which helps automatic use.
• It creates opportunities for interaction, essential for communicative language learning.

mastering preferences prepares students for future tasks involving opinions, agreements/disagreements, comparisons, routines, and hobbies—skills they will repeatedly need throughout their English learning journey.

(1)Pre activity:

Objective:

The student will be able to discover on flashcards the target ing form vocabulary to talk about some of the activities they like and don't like doing (eating, washing the hands, dancing, swimming, singing, playing and drawing) including the correct recognition of each

(2)While activity:

Objective:

the student will be able to identify in reading and writing on the whiteboard and the notebook the target stucture " Subject + Like/dont' like + the activity (verb ing)" to form simple sentences to talk about the activities they like and don't like doing including its understanding and correct usage

Instructions:

Look at the sentences on the board. Read and pay attention to the structure:Subject + like/don’t like + activity (verb+ing)

We use the expressions:

I like/I don't (do not) like + verb, to talk about the activities we prefer. Those things we enjoy doing or not.

the meanings of the most common verbs we use are:

• Eating:Comer
• Washing the hands:Lavarse las manos
• Dancing:Bailar
• Swimming:Nadar
• Singing:Cantar
• Playing:Jugar

• sleeping:Dormir

It is important to know that when we talk about the activities we like or not the verb which contains the activity must end with -ing, if not, it is not correct.

For example:

For the subjects: I, You, We, They we use: like / don’t like and for He,she, it: likes / doesn’t like

• I like dancing.
• You like reading.
• He/She likes cooking.
• It doesn't like swimming.
• We don’t like singing.
• They don’t like running.
