Pupils prepare for the story. They sit on their cushions in a circle. Before listening to the story they can play the following games:

Pass the card: The teacher distributes flashcards to the pupils. Each pupil passes his picture to the pupil sitting next to him while listening to a song. When the teacher says ‘Stop’ each pupil has to call out the animal on his/her flashcard. The pupils are also encouraged to say the colour of each animal (e.g. blue horse).

The teacher presents the cover of the book and asks the pupils to say what they see on the cover.

Pupils are encouraged to guess which animals will be mentioned in the story.

While Storytelling StageThe teacher reads the story to the pupils. Each time he/she stops and allows pupils to guess the animal that comes next. They are also encouraged to guess the color of the animal.

Pupils can also be encouraged to join in the storytelling. With the support of the teacher, they can pose the question (what do you see?).

After Storytelling StageMemory game: Pupils try to remember the animals mentioned in the story. The animals are placed on the board in a random order. Pupils try to place the animals in the order according to which they are mentioned in the story.

Teddy asks children to sing the song “Brown bear, brown bear” with him.

The teacher gives the pupils black and white handouts of the animals mentioned in the story. Then, the teacher gives a dice (in its pockets there are animals’ flashcards) to some children. Each child throws the
