Teacher: I am happy to hear that. Look at the smiles on the board and say what activities you see. (Діти дивляться на малюнки на дошці та коментують)

Teacher: Very nice. You see that we can do many things. When we like to do something very much, how can we call it?

Right you are. We say that we`ve got a hobby.

Teacher: So the topic of our today`s lesson is “Hobbies and Favourite Pastimes”. The aim of the lesson is to enlarge our knowledge about kinds of hobbies, you will tell your classmates about your interests, about your free time and  hobbies that are popular among children of your age.

P1 – Hobby is something you like to do in your free time. It makes you excited and pleased.

2.  Warming Up

3. Listening practice

T – Well done. Now to continue our lesson I suggest you to make an imaginary journey around fairyland of hobbies. Our first stop will be “Merry Hobby Songs”. To learn some more kinds of hobbies you will listen to a Hobby Song and try to memorize what 4 hobbies are children fond of.

(Pupils listen to a song then name the hobbies and teacher asks if they can do these things and if they are fond of/interested in them)

4. Revision and practice of active vocabulary on the topic

T – Perfect. Now let`s move to our second  stop “ Hobby word games”. Look at the board, please. Your task is to match the pictures with the corresponding words (one pupil works at the blackboard, the rest work with cards)             

T – And now use some of these words in the following reading exercise. Your task is to read the unscrambled text , changing the pictures into words.

5. Reading

T – Great job, friends. Our third stop will be “ Pleasure reading”.

T – Read three stories in which children speak about their hobbies an try to remember the information about childrens` hobbies and likes because then you will answer some questions on the text.

(Some unknown words and listening is accompanied by the appearance of pictures on the board)

 S u e: My hobby is music. I like classical music. I take music lessons twice a week. There are different musical instruments. Some people play the guitar. Others play the piano. As for me I am fond of the violin. After classes I often watch TV. I love films and cartoons. I don't read very much — newspapers sometimes, but not books.

Ann: I really like to stay at home. I like knitting very much. My grandmother taught me to knitt. It is very interesting! I have learned. Sometimes I read books or play computer games. I don't watch TV very much, but I usually watch the news, or sometimes films. I often study in the evening.

M a r y: I spend much time outdoors playing tennis. I have trainings 5 times a week in my school club. We train a lot.  I also like to visit my friends or go to parties. I don't like to stay at home. It's boring. When you are at home you always have to study.

T – Answer the questions, please:

    What does Sue like to do?

    What musical instruments does she play?

    Does she like reading?

    What does Ann like to do?

5. Checking of the homework

T -  Now it`s time to learn about your hobbies and favourite pastimes. So let`s move to our next stop “The World of My Hobbies”. At home you had to think about your favourite way to spend free time and to bring something connected with it. Now, look at the blackboard and present us your hobby using the given plan.

P1 , P2, P3…

3. Physical exercise

T – A great presentation. Are you tired? Do you like dancing? Let`s have a little rest while dancing to the music.

4. Puzzle work

T- You have revised a lot of words on the topic “Hobby”.  To sum it up let`s have some fun activity. You will get crosswords. You have to do them as quickly as possible. But first let`s divide into groups with the help of pictures.

5. Vocabulary work

T -  To do our hobbies we need different things. For example to play football we need a ball, to paint we need paints and brushes, to read we need books and so on. Let`s revise what other things we need for our hobbies.

6. Dialogues

T – Work in pairs. Make up and act out the dialogue using the given example. Imagine that one of you is a seller in the souvenir shop and the other is a person who wants to buy a present for a friend or some relatives because it is his or her Birthday. You have 1 minutes to prepare it.
