Activity 01
My House Map
Students draw a simple floor plan of their own house on a sheet of paper. They then try to label the different rooms they have, like the kitchen, bedroom, and living room.
Identify the room where food is cooked.
Facilitation TipProvide simple templates with squares and rectangles for students who find it difficult to start drawing from scratch.
What to look forShow flashcards of different rooms and ask students to name them or state one activity done there. Use thumbs up/down for quick comprehension checks.

Activity 02
Room Charades
Write names of activities (e.g., sleeping, cooking, bathing, watching TV) on chits. A student picks a chit and acts out the activity, and the rest of the class has to guess the activity and the room where it happens.
Explain the purpose of a bedroom.
Facilitation TipDemonstrate one round yourself to ensure students understand the game clearly.
What to look forA simple worksheet with three columns: a picture of a room, the room's name, and an object found in that room. Students have to draw lines to match them correctly.

Activity 03
Object Sorting Game
In small groups, students are given a set of picture cards showing various household objects (e.g., bed, sofa, gas stove, bucket). They have to sort these cards and place them under the correct room heading (e.g., 'Bedroom', 'Kitchen').
Compare the activities you do in the living room versus the bathroom.
Facilitation TipUse large, clear pictures and laminate them for repeated use in the classroom.
What to look forProvide students with a simple checklist with pictures: 'I can name the kitchen', 'I can name the bedroom'. Students put a tick next to the ones they feel confident about.

Generate Complete Lesson→A few notes on teaching this unit
Begin by using a large chart or pictures of a house with clearly defined rooms. Use a 'call and repeat' method for vocabulary. Constantly link the concepts to the students' own homes by asking questions like, 'Who has a television in their living room?'. This personal connection makes the learning more concrete and memorable.
After this lesson, students will be able to name the main rooms in a house and confidently tell you what each room is used for in their daily lives.
Watch Out for These Misconceptions
All houses must have the same rooms, like a separate dining room or study room.
Houses come in many sizes and types. Some are small flats in big cities with fewer rooms, while some are large houses in villages. The number and type of rooms depend on the family's needs and how much space they have.
A room can only be used for one single purpose.
Many rooms can be used for more than one activity. For example, some families eat their meals in the kitchen, and some people might use their living room for sleeping at night.
The 'drawing room' is for drawing pictures.
The 'drawing room' is another name for the living room, a place where we welcome guests or sit together. The name comes from an old term 'withdrawing room', not from the activity of drawing.
