IN CLASS

Divide the class into six groups and get each group to sit together.

Tell the children that in many English-speaking countries the Easter Rabbit takes chocołate eggs to the children. Ask the children what a rabbit looks like. To introduce the story, tell them that rabbits have not always had long ears and that you are going to tell them how they got long ears.

Tell the story. You will need to use a lot of mime to give some visual back-up to the words.

Point to the sęcond group. Point to the third group. Point to the fourth group. Point to the fifth group. Point to the last group. Point to yourself.

Point to the first group of children and try and elicit 'lion ’.

Elicit ‘lion’; then get the children to ask ‘What’s your name?’

The rabbifs ears were long and he suddenly remembered the King. ‘My name’s rabbit. Hello hippo, my name’s rabbit. Hello ...’

Continue greeting all the groups of animals.

And that is how rabbits got long ears.
