CLASSROOM EXTENSION IDEAS
You can use some or all of these ideas to check and enhance
your students’ understanding as they work their way
through Unit 2 of Listening A2 in class.
Using Getting started
You can use the Getting started questions as a prompt for
groups of students to create class surveys on different topics
related to childhood: school, friends, games, holidays, TV,
parents, etc.
1. Decide in advance what topics might interest the class
or suggest a few and see which ones the class is most
interested in.
2. Divide the class into groups of three to six and give them
a topic each.
3. Ask the groups to think of questions that would form the
basis of a survey.
• TV:
How much television did you watch as a child?
What types of programmes did you watch?
• School:
What type of school did you go to as a child?
Private? Public? Mixed? What were your favourite
subjects?
• Games:
What type of games did you play?
Hopscotch? Cat’s Cradle?
4. As students work, monitor and make sure students
include options for the answers (as above).
5. Either allow students to gather answers as homework,
or get the groups to survey the other students (they will
have to write a few copies) and feed back to the whole
class.
6. An alternative homework activity would be to ask the
groups to fi nd some way of displaying their results in
the form of a poster (with pie charts or bar graphs) that
could be displayed in class.
Using Part A (track 08)
This board game activity will get the students using
language they have learned in the unit and searching their
memories for what they can add. You will need a die for
each group.
1. Photocopy the board game template below.
2. Elicit ideas from the students that relate to childhood
memories (food, grandparents’ house, playground games,
going to the doctors, toys) and write them on the
classroom board.
3. Put students into groups of two to four with one
template and one die for each group.
4. Allow students to pick ideas they like and write them in
the boxes of their board game template.
5. In their groups, students take it in turns to roll the die
and describe a memory for the square on which they
land: When I was young I never ate vegetables or When
I was a child I would spend every summer with my
grandparents.
Using Part B (track 09)

wishes and hopes which Patrick uses in this recording.
