show our transition to a new city with slides.
Pictures of Sochi, the countryside surrounding
it, etc will be shown. And we’ll ask

the locations, and actions, and we’ll say them all

Activity 3
• Guessing game
• The students will stand facing once another,
one of them facing the computer screen. He will
see a picture of one of the actions that we have
covered, with a transliterated word beneath it.
The student who can’t see has to guess
• After a couple of tries, the instructors will also
get to play with them

Activity 4
• Races
• The students will form a line, and on the table
far in front of them will be a printed out
locations. The instructors will say a location in
Russian, and they have to run to grab the
location and bring it back
Activity 5
• Map game
• We’ll print out little maps of Sochi with specific
places that the students have learned
highlighted
• The students will take turns giving each
other/Madeleine and Andrew directions on
how to get somewhere they want, using
forward, backward, left, and right: прямо,
назад, налево, направо
• We can highlight a variety of parks and
museums, and let students count how many
there are. They can also count how many moves
it takes to get somewhere.
• When they get somewhere, they can ask Где
мы? And answer, to enforce those phrases.

-We’ll stop the video periodically to ask a question in Russian (like what color is this, or who is he, or how many is this)
Plan C: Matching. We’ll play a matching game where the students have to match the correct action with the correct location,
