What is learned: The students learn words for members of the family: mother, father, brother, grandmother, aunt, uncle, cousin, etc. The family that is introduced here is found throughout the activities.

Repeat the sentences that you hear. Try to say the word before you click the button. Print out the page with the family. This family appears in many of the activities, as you work through the lessons you will get to know them better.

Ask questions like, "What is your mother's name?. Do you have a brother? What is his name? etc. Have each student make a picture of his family and label each person.
