( dibujar un tablero de herramientas)
Ask students to give names of tools. Write them on the blackboard. Add also standard sentences such as
“this is a hammer”, “this is a spanner” etc. Bring a tool box and show real tools to the student. Say or
make students say “This is a hammer” and so on. If you can, show a short instruction video, where some
typical tools are used and where the language is not too difficult.

Let students add new names to the tools on the blackboard. Prepare a memory game with selected tools
(10-15). The memory game must consist of pictures and written names of tools. Split the class into
groups of 3-4 students and let two groups play against each other in the memory game. Do not play the
game with only two students in the game.
Follow the memory game with a “What’s this device” exercise for the whole group. This exercise should
be run by the teacher. Let the students see one sentence at a time. They should read and understand
each sentence. Let one student read a sentence out aloud, and let others help in the translation, so that
this becomes a joint exercise. When all sentences have been exposed, the students can hopefully guess
the name of the device/tool.
