L & S 12 : What Time Is It, Mr. Tiger?

Lesson : Listening and Speaking

Year : 3

Topic : Things I do

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, basically I continued the previous day's lesson of Listening and Speaking with a game entitled "What Time Is It, Mr. Tiger?". If you know how the "Pukul berapa datuk harimau datang, pukul..." song, then you know this game too.

The things needed in this game are a tiger mask and individual clock. The clock acts as their lives where the tiger will try his best to get it by chasing the students. Yes, the class will definitely be a little bit chaotic but it is okay to me as long as they have fun and they know what they are doing.

This is a tiger mask made up of rubber (I think). I bought it at Daiso for RM5. I also bought few more masks there such as Gorilla, Monkey and Giraffe. Mr. Tiger will use this for the game.

How to play?

1. Mr. Tiger will be prepared at the back of the class, closing his eyes and counting.
2. The other students will walk slowly towards Mr. Tiger to touch the wall that Mr. Tiger is leaning on while singing the tune of "What Time Is It, Mr. Tiger?"
3. Once Mr. Tiger thinks he can chase one, he will turn and chase for the students' clocks and take away their lives.
4. Before Mr. Tiger starts to chase, he will answer the song by saying any time that he wants. (My Mr. Tiger did not say it out loud enough to be heard in the video).
5. Repeat the activity three times and state the moral values.

So, here are the videos of my session yesterday :

L & S 11 : Paper Plate Clock

Its 2017! I'm back to update my blog after few months of break due to busyness of my work at the end of last year. So, this year, I might be busy too, even busier than last year, but I'll try my best to cope with this one. Pray the best for me. :)

So, let's begin!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lesson : Listening and Speaking
Year : 3
Topic : Things I Do

My Paper Plate Clock

In yesterday's lesson, I taught the students about things that they do in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I asked them about it based on the pictures in the textbook and they responded well (fyi, I teach the second class of Year 3 this year). After that, I taught them about how to say the words of one o'clock and so on using the textbook. 

To develop their interest in learning this, I brought 'a huggy bear clock' where I bought it at a supermarket with the cost of RM12.60. It is a really useful thing to be used for the students to learn about numbers and clock since the hour hand and minute hand are working! (It can be turn manually just like the paper plate clock that we were about to create afterwards).

The Huggy Bear Clock

Then, I started ask the students about the time through the Huggy Bear Clock and all of them area able to say it out correctly. They slightly have problem when I put the hour and minute hand at the 12 but eventually I taught them how to read that time at the clock. 

To make the activity becomes even fun, I prepared them materials to make the clock out of paper plate. 

What do you need?

• Paper plate (I have 34 students so I prepared 40 for them in case some of them ruined it or suddenly the number of your students increased more than the list in the APDM haha)
• Butang Katup (Snap fastener). If you could get the brass fastener, this is the best one to be used. You can also used the plastic fastener (just like the pink colour thing in the photo above). *I've try my best to look for one but I can't find one.
• Colour paper for the hour and minute hands. If you used the brass fastener, you can use thick paper for the hour and minute hands. If not, just use the typical 80 gsm colour paper.
• Scissors
• Markers or colour pens.

How to do it?

1. Prepare a paper plate.
2. Ask the students to make a small hole in the middle of the paper plate.
3. Ask the students to write the numbers properly (12 must be inline with 6, and so on).
4. Cut the colour paper for the hour and minute hands (make sure the hour hand is short and minute hand is longer).
5. Ask the students to make holes at the hour and minute hands.
6. Give them the snap fastener and snap together all of the prepared materials.
7. Ask them to write their names at the back of the 'clock'.
8. The end!

Try it and change it according to your creativity, okay? Here are my students' works but I can't put all of the plates in rows since there are 34 of them! 

See the stack of plates! 

Anyway, I will continue this activity by playing the "What time is it, Mr Tiger?" game since I only have few masks and one of them is the tiger. Haha. I'll update about it in the Reading Section in this blog after I have conducted the lesson. 

Thanks for reading! ^^
