Family
We all may have different views on what a family actually is. Still, when it comes to language learning we usually start with getting to know the terms for the family members.
By introducing their families the pupils not only practise important language points but also grammatical structures they will need later on. The topic itself offers various creative opportunities to motivate (young) learners. One example is drawing a family tree, be it on paper or on the computer.
