IDEAS FOR ENDING THE LESSON

As well as starting the lesson, teachers can use different ways to ending the lesson, promoting oral communicaton in our children. It depends on what our children do after the English lesson. Maybe they:

• Stay in the same room
• Go to another lesson in a different room
• Have lunch
• Go to the playground
• Go home

It would be useful to play a game, sing a song or a rhyme to end our English lesson. Also, it helps our children to follow a routine and control behaviour. 

For example, if ater English lesson our children go to have lunch, we can use the "Time to eat song":

When it’s time to eat I walk to the table.
I sit in my chair
I put my napkin on my lap
And I wait for my food.
When it comes I say “thank you”

I pick up my fork or spoon
And I eat ALL my food
One small bite at a time
I eat all my food
I stay at the table until my food is gone.

Then I take my dishes to the sink
And rinse them so they’re clean
