Children sing a rooms-of-the-house song acting out sleeping, eating and washing, build a house-flipbook labelling each room and its activity, and sort activity flashcards into the correct room. The second lesson builds a 3D pop-up room box with furniture, plays a 'Where am I?' guessing game based on clues, and presents their room ('This is my garage. There's a car.'), finishing with a house-themed dance party.
