Show opening video and Look and Listen. Practice phrase: Happy Birthday! This is for you. -> Thank you.(Person with doll when song finishes has to present it to someone.) How old are you? I'm ___________years old. (With stuffed Hello Kitty and maybe 2 dice). Then have students look at their books / the online thing and write out their dictionaries (possibly split vocab in 4).
OK... Due to nametag making taking a long time, we didn't cover all that. What we did was watch the opening video and a bit of Look and Listen, practiced the phrases How old are you? and I'm _____ years old. and discussed what presents we would all like to get.
Day 2:

Instead of doing the Hello Kitty and dice, plan on doing the back to back finger adding game (one versus one) to practice "How old are you?" and "I'm ____ numbers added up___ years old."
Start writing out dictionaries? I need a simplified version for 초A and 초B classes.
Listen and Read, Listen and Write, and Song. End with Team Spelling?
