| LESSON OVERVIEW
The main objectives of this lesson are to:
- practise breakfast food vocabulary and talk about breakfasts;
- watch and discuss a video about breakfasts around the world;
- listen to a recording about making breakfast;
- do a few ‘some’ and ‘any’ exercises.
With this lesson plan, students practise talking about breakfast foods (e.g. toast, pancakes). Students watch and discuss a video about breakfasts around the world. They listen to a recording about making breakfast and work with more dialogues. Students learn and practise using ‘a/an’, ‘some’ and ‘any’ (e.g. Do we have any cereal?).
VOCABULARY AND VIDEO
This lesson plan starts with a warm-up in which students complete sentences about breakfast so they are true for them. Next, students learn the target vocabulary by reading sentences and matching the words in bold with the pictures. Next, they complete sentences with the words from the pictures. Then, students do a ‘this or that’ exercise and share their breakfast preferences. Afterwards, students watch the first part of a video about breakfast in different countries. They need to match the countries with the food and watch the video to check their answers. Students then watch the next part of the video. They look at breakfast foods associated with certain countries (e.g. the UK, Sweden, Australia, etc.) and find one food which is not in the video. Students then discuss questions about the video and more.
LISTENING AND GRAMMAR
Before doing ‘some’ and ‘any’ exercises, students continue the lesson by listening to a recording in which two people are making breakfast. First, they choose the breakfast that the people decide to make. They listen again and select the words they hear. Following that, students work on grammar. They look at some words in bold (a/an, any, some) in the dialogue from the recording and complete a table with rules. Then, continue doing ‘some’ and ‘any’ exercises by creating a dialogue using a/an, some and any. Next, students choose an emotion (happy, sad, tired, angry) and read the dialogue from the previous exercise using this emotion. Students then look at a picture of various foods and do more ‘some’ and ‘any’ exercises by completing sentences with the target grammar and the food names. The lesson finishes with students getting a card with four food items. Students ask each other questions to guess what is on each other’s card (e.g. Do you have any eggs? ~ No, I don’t. Do you have any soup?). The person who first guesses their partner’s food items wins.
HOMEWORK/REVISION
This lesson plan also includes an additional task that you can use as homework or revision. Students do one more ‘some’ and ‘any’ exercise They look at some sentences with icons and complete them with the right word for the picture, as well as a/an, some and any. Then, they choose an affirmative sentence and write the question, and choose a question and write the answer. The task is available in the teacher’s version of the worksheet. You can print it and hand it out to your students. It’s also included in the e-lesson plan.

Finally A1 activities! I’m so excited! :p
Thanks!
Brilliant lesson, thank you. I love that type of listening style exercise.
Awesome, thank you 🙂
It would help if you included the youtube link spelled out – with googles new protocol – it asks you to ‘sign in’ (even when you already are in another tab)….so the only way to access the video now is to open the paper lessons and then highlight the link and copy paste it in a new window. It would be great to have the link right in the description pages to save time! 🙂
