Gruffalo. The pupils compare the Gruffalo on the

focus on new vocabulary (tusks, wart, prickles,
claws).

parts of the Gruffalo (tusks, claws, toes, wart,
prickles, teeth, etc.) by giving them word cards to
stick on the board (see photocopiable material for the
word cards). After a pupil puts up a word on the
board, the teacher encourages either the pupil or the
class to make a statement, e.g. “He has got a tail.”

STORYTELLING
The teacher shows a picture of another monster
(Flora) in a PowerPoint presentation found online at
http://www.schools.ac.cy.
Pupils play a true/false game. Each time a sentence
appears (He’s got / She’s got). The pupils read the
sentence silently and if it is a true statement based on
the monster in the picture, they touch their nose. If it
is a false statement, the pupils touch their head and are
asked to correct it.
Example:
(The slide shows Flora and the statement says “She’s got
three eyes”)
Pupils touch their nose.
Teacher: Very good. What does it say? Can we read it?
Pupils: She’s got three eyes.
Teacher: What about this one?
(The slide shows Flora and the statement says “She’s got
two hands”)
Pupils touch their nose.
Teacher: Why? What does it say? Can we read it?
Pupils: She’s got two hands.
Teacher: What’s wrong with that? Who can fix it?
Costas: She’s got four hands.
