teaching is made easy. If you're new here then you need to know that I make weekly
ESL teaching tip videos to help you improve your English teaching. So if you
are teaching ESL online or abroad then make sure you subscribe below and hit
that notification bell for weekly ESL teaching tips. Also real quick, if you are
new here say hi in the comments below and let me know where in the world
you're teaching. For new online teachers knowing how to adjust your teaching for
the online platform can be tricky. Well actually a lot of the teaching basics
aret the same, we just need to apply them. For example
lesson planning is essential because the flow and structure of your class will
determine just how well it goes. So planning is essential and if you're not
sure how to make a lesson plan then you can check this video out right here,
where I go through all the planning basics step by step. In today's video I'm
going to show you how you can use Mooncake English PPT's to help teach your
students new vocabulary. Now today's PPT teaches vegetables and is available in
the freebies section of the Mooncake English website. So make sure you check
it out after this video. So without further ado let's get started. For this
activity all you're going to need is the free vegetable PPT available from
Mooncake English website. Now just like any other class, we're going to begin with a
warm-up. Now for younger students I really like to start with a song or a
chant as this really captures students' attention. Now this song or chant can
be one that students have learned previously all one that is related to
the subject that you're teaching. For example... One potato, two potato, three
potato, four. Five potato, six potato, seven potato, more!
Good job! Note how slowly I'm singing the song and how I repeat it twice through
using TPR as I do. Next, you're gonna have students chant all together. Farmer
Brown, Farmer Brown, where are you? Farmer Brown, Farmer Brown, where are you?
As your students are chanting, this is a perfect opportunity to switch your screen
and transition into the vegetable ppt. As you do, Farmer Brown is going to pop up
and say hello. This is also a great opportunity to start reviewing some
previously taught self-introduction questions and responses. So at this point
you can have students ask Farmer Brown different questions such as, what's your
name? and how old are you? Depending on what you've previously taught. Next,
Farmer Brown is going to show you his farm and all the different vegetables
that he's growing there. You're gonna have all the students ask Farmer Brown
altogether. Farmer Brown, Farmer Brown, what are you growing? Farmer Brown, Farmer Brown
what are you growing? Make sure you can introduce the different vegetables one
by one using chants and TPR as you do. If you're not sure how to use TPR in
your classroom then make sure you check out my video on TPR linked below.
Carrot, carrot, nom nom nom. Carrot, carrot, nom nom nom. Carrot, carrot, nom nom nom. Carrot, carrot, nom nom nom. Now if your
students are at a higher level then you can add in some extra review questions
such as... What color is it? What color is it?
hmm is it red? Or you can add in some extra phrases that uses the new
vocabulary such as... I like carrots oh, I like carrots oh, I like carrots. So think
about what your students have previously learned and what extra language you
could add in. Real quick. if you are finding this video helpful and make sure

After introducing all the vegetables, suddenly the hungry rabbit appears! It's
a rabbit, it's a rabbit, it's a rabbit. Explain to the students that the hungry
rabbit wants to eat all the vegetables. The rabbit is hungry,
the rabbit is hungry, the rabbit is hungry. Watch as the rabbit slowly eats
the different vegetables. After each time the hungry rabbit eats a vegetable, ask
your students which vegetable is missing. What is missing? What is missing? If your
students aren't able to name the vegetable right away, then help them by
using a few prompts. Is the carrot missing? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, hmm
Is the potato missing? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, hmm. Is the eggplant missing? bing bing bing!
Finally, before ending the class you can ask your students which vegetable
they liked the most and again think about some different review language
that you could add in here. This PPT is designed in a way to help teach the main
language points using a small story. So instead of just introducing some new
vocabulary we've got a farmer on a farm showing us his vegetables, and instead of
just playing a what's missing game we have a rabbit eating the different
vegetables on the farm. Using this kind of narrative helps to keep students
engaged and interested in the lessons. So there you have it, a fun and engaging activity
to teach vegetables to young learners online. Today's PPT is available for free
in the freebies section of the Mooncake English web page which you can find
