Fruit Market
by Richard Graham

What's this? It's an apple
What's this? It's an orange
What's this? It's a pineapple
What's this? It's a banana

What's that? It's a lemon
What's that? It's a cherry
What's that? It's a strawberry
What's that? It's a watermelon

Welcome to the Fruit Market
Welcome to the Fruit Market

What's this? It's a peach
What's this? It's a grape
What's this? It's a pear
What's this? It's a kiwi fruit!

(Repeat Chorus)

　In the classroom or at home ........

Fruits seem to be one of the most fun things for kids to do in English, and usually it's because they already understand them all.

Lessons should concentrate on things we don't know, rather than things we do know, so this song is a great way to not only practice fruit names,but to also learn the difference between "this" and "that".

One teacher says "What's this?" whilst showing the relevant card. The kids reply "It's a ....."

For the "What's that?" cards, another teacher ( or kid) asks "What's that?" and the kids reply!

For the "Welcome to the Fruit Market" part it can be good to have the kids do a type of folk dance, where they spin around, linking arms with the person next to them!!

Also, if you're in Japan, don't be surprised if your kids have never seen a western shaped pear before!!

Worksheet:

Give each kid a copy of the worksheet. At the front of the class place one item of each of the fruit. At the back place several different pieces of coloured paper. The kids from the front line of desks stand up. You say "go". They then race to the back, pick up one colour piece of paper , race to the front and pick up one piece of fruit. The quickest kid to shout out "I like" + the colour they chose + the fruit they chose (e.g. "I like pink bananas!") gets two points for their team. If the other kids can say what they have they get 1 point for their team. Everyone colours in the winner's fruit in the winner's colour! The kids in the next row of desks stand up and you repeat.
