We also have a video that you can stream in class to sing along with (Internet
connection required):
Continue through the story, eliciting the key vocab. Get the students really involved in
the story by asking lots of questions (e.g. about the colors and objects on each page).
After reading the story, give out a reader worksheet to each student and read through
the story one more time (without stopping for questions, etc.) so students can put the
pictures in the order of the story and write the missing verbs. Then go through the
answers as a class.

And let the students omit those actions that they think which are not suitable for them
to do at their current age. And will have to give their lesson.
