Before you play

Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Read all seven day names, some month names and the time words today, yesterday, tomorrow, week and weekend, and match them to Thai (indicator ต 1.1 ป.3/2).

What's in the worksheet

4 questions, matching 4 pairs each - Tuesday to วันอังคาร, Thursday to วันพฤหัสบดี - Saturday to วันเสาร์, weekend to วันหยุดสุดสัปดาห์ - April to เมษายน, August to สิงหาคม, December to ธันวาคม - yesterday to เมื่อวาน, week to สัปดาห์

How to use it in class

Can be a daily starter, about 4 minutes, in pairs. Use Thai mode: English mode shows the same word on both sides. - After Q3, ask What month is it now? and have them answer in English - After Q4, practise Today is ... Yesterday was ... Tomorrow is ... - Play it linked to your class so scores go into the gradebook

Common sticking points

- Tuesday and Thursday (Q1) are the most swapped pair. Thursday has the h and sits next to Friday - yesterday and tomorrow (Q4) get swapped as both are not today. Point back and forward - week and weekend (Q2, Q4) may look like one word. Show that end means the last part
