WHACK-A-DAY
(Time and Seasons of the Year)

Subject: Humans and their world
Cross-curricular links: English language
Target language: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday; spring, summer, autumn, winter
Time: 15 minutes
Materials: season flashcards, days of the week written on different coloured sheets of paper

  • Put the picture cards of seasons and the sheets of paper with days of the week on the board.
  • Set two chairs in front of the board.
  • Divide the pupils into two teams.
  • Each team chooses a pupil to sit on a chair with their backs to the board.
  • Both children hold a stick or rolled up newspaper in their hands.
  • Call out one of the pictures on the board. Both pupils must stand up, find the relevant picture/word and hit it with their stick. A point is awarded to whoever hits the picture first.
  • If neither pupil can find the right picture/word, encourage the other children to shout out to help (they could name the colour the word is written on).
  • Continue until all the pupils have had at least one turn.
