Step 1: Warm-Up Activity (Engage Students)

Activity: Picture or Action-Based Discussion

• Show pictures or act out activities (e.g., playing cricket, reading books, cooking).

• Ask students:
  "What do you enjoy doing?"
  (Encourage responses: "I like to play cricket.")

• If they struggle, give examples:

  • "I like to read books."
  • "She likes to dance."

  • "I like to play football."
  • "He likes to watch movies."
  • "They like to listen to music."

• Highlight that "like to" is used to talk about habits, interests, and hobbies.

Step 3: Interactive Practice (Student Engagement)

Activity 1: Pair Work – Find a Match

• Prepare a set of cards with different hobbies (e.g., "play chess," "sing songs").
• Students pick a card and walk around asking:
  • "Do you like to play chess?"
  • "Do you like to sing songs?"
• They find someone with the same interest and form a pair.

Activity 2: Interview Game

• Students pair up and ask each other:
  • "What do you like to do in your free time?"
  • "Do you like to watch TV?"
  • "Does your best friend like to cook?"
• After 5 minutes, they introduce their partner:
  "Rahul likes to play video games."

Activity 3: Sentence Transformation (Corrections)

• Write incorrect sentences on the board and ask students to correct them:
  ❌ "He like to play football." → ✅ "He likes to play football."
  ❌ "I likes to dance." → ✅ "I like to dance."

Step 4: Role Play and Real-Life Application

Activity: Class Survey

• Give students a survey sheet with different activities (e.g., read books, swim, travel).
• They walk around asking classmates "Do you like to ___?" and note down responses.
• At the end, students report:
  • "5 students like to play cricket."
  • "2 students like to sing."

Step 5: Fun Closure (Reinforce Learning)

Activity: “Hot Seat” Game

• One student sits in the "hot seat."
• Others ask questions:
  "Do you like to dance?"
  "Do you like to eat ice cream?"
• The student must answer quickly.
