A lesson on Mother's Day.

***What does your mum do every day?***
Aim: revise the vocabulary on everyday chores, estimate what their mothers have to do every day for them and the family, motivate children to take part in the everyday chores about the house.
1. We distribute the verbs in 2 columns (1.Mum does, 2. I do) and suggest how much time these activitis may take an average mother to complete. Count the spent hours and compar the results with the table in the picture.
Verbs: make sandwiches, take meat out of the freezer for dinner, check the cereal box levels, fill the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table for breakfast, put a load of clothes into the washing machine, iron a shirt, water the plants, empty the rubbish bin and hang up a towel to dry, write a note to the teacher, count out some cash for the excursion, pull a library book out from under the chair, sign a birthday card for a friend, write a quick list for the supermarket, put water into the dog’s bowl, make sure the doors is locked, turn out the bedside lamp, throw dirty socks in the laundry basket, set the alarm, turn off the TV.
2. Make extra columns: what I could do.
3. Write Mother’s Day resolution for today on a card and give it to their mum: Today I will…
