Children name toy flashcards and sing along to a Toy Song, acting out each toy. They then practise 'Do you want a...?' with thumbs up/down responses and pass flashcards around a circle asking each other. The second lesson has children match toys on a worksheet, draw their favourite toy, and share it aloud ('My favourite toy is a...'), finishing with a toy-themed goodbye rhyme.
