Variation: After the speaker has given an example of the summer questions, the children can ask each other. Next, we show the children the photos of the different holiday activities and use them to revise the different seasons and talk about things they can do in each place. We then give each of the children a suitcase and tell them to choose one of the photos. This will be their holiday destination. We explain to the children that before we go on holiday we need to pack our suitcases. The speaker supervises while the children take it in turns to choose clothing that is appropriate for their holiday. We then ask the children how they plan to get there, what the weather will be like, the activities they are going to do and what they have got in their suitcase. 8
