2. Engage in a class discussion about farm animals, asking questions such as: "What sound does a cow make?" "Can you tell me what color a sheep is?" "Do you like chickens? Why?"
Presentation:
1. Display the flashcards or pictures of farm animals and teach the names of the animals by pronouncing and repeating their names.
2. Use gestures and actions to make the learning fun and memorable, for example, mimicking the sound or movement of each animal.
Practice:
