Video activity teaching notes
The King of the Forest
Preparation
Make copies of the worksheets and flashcards and give each
group a set.
If you don’t have enough sets, you could use just one set and
fasten the images up around the classroom. This would get
the children moving around more.
Pre-viewing tasks
Read out each of the sentences below and give the children
time to find the correct image. Help the children with any
words they don’t know.
Find a picture of …
1 A hot tiger.
4 A tiger and a fox running together.
2 A scared fox.
5 Two rabbits.
3 A happy fox.
6 Five monkeys.
After the children find each image, ask about colours of the
things in the picture e.g. What colour is Tiger? What colour are
the trees? etc.
Now ask the children to look at the animals in each picture
and tell you how they are feeling. They can do this using L1 and
you can tell them the word in English. They don’t have to guess
correctly, just accept any words they offer you and translate
them into English. If you wish, you can make notes of these
words on the board and return to them later.
Tell the children the pictures are part of a story. Divide the
class into pairs or small groups and ask them to look at the
pictures and try to imagine the story. They can do this in L1
and it’s not important that they guess the story correctly. They
should just be looking at the pictures and thinking and talking
about them.
Once they have finished, have one group tell their story. Ask
the rest of the class to listen and see if their story is similar.
While viewing tasks
Tell the children you are going to play a video of the story.
Ask them to watch and try to put the images into the
correct order.
Play the video silently (using mute) while the chlidren order
the images.
Check their answers.
Ask the children to look at Activity 1 and try to guess who said
each line.
Play the video with the sound on and have the children watch
and decide who says each line.

Post-viewing tasks
You can use all or any of these tasks after the children have
watched the video.
1 Telling the story
Divide the class into pairs. Children draw their favourite
part of the story individually. Then they talk about what is
happening in their picture with a friend.
2 Being in the story
Make space for the children to move around.
Tell them that you will call out an animal and a feeling
and that they should move around the room pretending
to be that animal. For example call out tiger and hungry.
The children have to become hungry tigers. Use any
combination of animals or feelings from the story.
3 Extending the story
Divide the class into pairs or small groups and refer them
to Activity 3. Tell them they are going to write the next
part of the story. Show them the first speech bubbles and
imitate Fox and Tiger saying the words. Ask them to think
about whether they are friends, or not.
Next, show the class the story grid and have them draw
pictures of the story into the grid. Then they write in, cut out
and add the speech bubbles and thought bubbles to their
stories. If they have time, ask them to colour in the story.
Finally, have volunteers share their stories with the class.
