Children run to labelled room corners when called, watch a Rooms in the House video answering 'What's this room?', and play Room Detective hiding items under room signs. The second lesson describes what's in each room in pairs ('A sofa and a lamp'), builds a house flap-book labelling four rooms, and gives a walk-through-the-house roleplay as a tour guide.

Why this lesson works
The lesson follows a clear progression: Point to rooms in a Room Walk game, describe what's in each room to a partner, build a house flap-book and give a room tour. Teachers can open the materials and start immediately, while students move from supported vocabulary practice to purposeful spoken English.
