Play an English song before class.
Revise some school things by asking questions.
e.g.: What’s this? Is this a …? How do you spell it? etc.
Learn the new words in, on, under, behind … by helping the teacher find the lost things.

T: Where’re my color pencils?
S2: …
Teach the new word “where” and the use of “they”.
