4.Ask the students what is funny about Danny’s first answer about his birthday .
Practice
Use word cards in pocket panel to show students how to substitute words in “How old are you? I’m ____ years old.” Point to the words as you say them, then ask for pairs of volunteers to point to the words as they say the phrase as a dialogue.
2. Use a modified chain-drill. The students can answer with their own age or act out a different age. For example:
S1: How old are you?
S2: I am ____ years old.
How old are you?
S3: (Bent over, acting old.) I am ninety years old. How old are you?
S4:(Crying like a baby) Waaaaa!
I am one year old.
