Children pass a fruit toy around to music naming it when it stops, sing fruit songs miming peeling and eating, and drill flashcards with real fruit if available. The second lesson interviews three classmates asking 'Do you like strawberries?', makes a paper fruit-salad craft labelling favourites, and roleplays a class fruit shop ('Can I have an orange?' / 'Here you go.').
