Postman Pat and the Tricky Transport Day - video lesson
I prepare video lessons for my young learners every week and my personal collection of video activities has been growing fast. The new cartoon I am going to prepare lessons on is the great UK series " Postman Pat". Here´s the first one:
The episode is called: Postman Pat and the Tricky Transport Day

It´s a wonderful opportunity for you, lovely teachers, to pre-teach different "Means of transport" and talk about WINTER.
Then you can ask the students to watch the video and do the following gap-filling activity:
Watch the video and fill in the gaps with an appropriate word:
I´ve got to do my …………..first, Julian.
The roads are clear, Jess, in ………… of the snow.
It will take me ……….. to do the deliveries on foot.
Oh, no, we´ve got a………………. .
Yes, of course, we´ll put the bike on ………………. .
Take my ……………. , it will take you there in no time.
You can ……………. my roller-blades, if you like.
Answers: 1- rounds, 2- spite, 3- ages, 4- puncture, 5- board, 6- sledge, 7- borrow, 8- public
The way I proceed with the video is:
First we read the sentences and I make sure the students understand the vocabulary. Then I play it once and they have to fill in the missing words. I play the video once again so that they can check or fill in any missed gaps.
As a folow up activity you can ask them to retell the story. They can also write down 5 True/False statements. Then they can exchange their notebooks and do the exercise.
Here´s a link to the video:
Enjoy the lesson with your students
Best wishes,
