1. Morning routines verbs Start with a guessing game. Before class print out the flashcards for morning routines. Start with an easy one – "brush my teeth" – look at the card but don’t show it to anyone. Do the action for brushing your teeth and ask "What am I doing?". It’s ok if the students answer in their first language – whoever answers first is the winner. Try and elicit the English or if not, teach "brush my teeth". For the next card, the winner can look at the card and do the action. Again, elicit / teach the English. Continue until all the cards / actions have been guessed.

 2. Practice the morning routines verbs Put the cards randomly on the board (stick on with blue-tak or tape) and draw a circle around each card. Start by chorusing each card quickly (T: "wake up", Ss: "Wake up"). Go through chorusing all the cards at least three times, getting quicker and quicker as you go. Next, point to a card and say "What’s this?". Get everyone to say the card together. Point to each card and get the class to shout out the verbs together as you touch each card. Finally, remove one card from the board – the circle it was in will still be there. Point to the empty circle and again say "What’s this?" – get everyone to shout out together the missing card. Point to other cards and elicit them, slowly removing all the cards from the board leaving just their circles. See if everyone can remember the words without any cards being there! 

3. Play "Flashcard touch" on the board Put the cards back on the board, at a height that everyone can reach. Model the game first – select a student and say "Touch put on my shoes". The student should go to the board and touch the correct card. Then get the student to do the same for you. When everyone has got the idea put them in pairs and get each pair to stand at the other end of the room. In pairs, each student says a verb phrase as their partner runs to the board and touches the right card.

 4. Do "Morning Routines" Drawings Give out a large sheet of paper (e.g. A3) to each student and model the activity. Draw things you do in the morning (e.g. brush your teeth, eat toast, watch TV) – it doesn’t have to be just the activities from the flashcards / song, anything that you do is good. Then encourage each student to draw what they do. As they are drawing, go around the class asking questions (e.g. What’s this? Do you really eat chocolate for breakfast?, etc.). At the end, get everyone to stick their sheet of paper on the classroom walls. Pair up students and get them to try and guess what the pictures are.
