Where can you go on a day out?
Tap all the fun places where you can go with your friends on the weekend. Careful, two of them are not fun places for a day out! 😉
0 / 6 fun places found.
🔍 Look. Answer the questions
Who are they? Where are they going on the weekend?
Adam: “It's the weekend, let's go out.”
🤔 You are bored. What can you say to your friend?
🤔 “The zoo is far.” What do you think it means?
✨ Good thinking! We will check your ideas a little later.
🗝️ A key word: a suggestion
When you feel bored and want to do something with friends, you can make a suggestion. This is how you ask your friends to do something!
💡 Une « suggestion », c'est une proposition : « Et si on allait au zoo ? »
🛠️ Places to visit
When you feel bored, you can go to many fun places! Let's learn some new words for places. Press 🔊 to listen.
The Zoo
See amazing animals like lions and giraffes! They are so big and special!
The Park
Run and play on the soft grass. You can have a picnic or play games!
The Beach
Swim in the cool, blue sea. Build sandcastles and feel the sun!
Hide and Seek
When you are at the park, you can play many fun games. One popular game is… hide and seek!
Someone counts, “One, two, three…”
And everyone else hides!
Then the person tries to find them.
It's so much fun! 🙈

Making suggestions
Look at Adam and Linda's sentences: Let's play hide and seek! — What about going to the zoo? — How about going to the cinema? Now complete the rule.
Making a suggestion
When you want to do something with friends, you can make a suggestion. Here are two easy ways!
(1) Let's + verb
This is a simple way to suggest an activity.
Let's go to the zoo!
Let's play hide and seek.
(2) How about / What about + verb + ing
Remember to add -ING to the verb!
How about going to the park?
What about playing football?
⚠️ Let's + verb (Let's go) — How about / What about + verb + ing (How about going?)
💡 Après « Let's », le verbe reste simple. Après « How about / What about », on ajoute -ing et on met un point d'interrogation.
Look at the pictures. Read and choose the correct option
Remember: Let's + verb — How about / What about + verb + ing?
Let's… or How about / What about…?
Click on a suggestion, then click on the right box.
👉 Let's + verb
❓ How about / What about + verb-ing
Complete the suggestions
Use the verb in brackets. Remember the rules: Let's + verb and How about / What about + verb + ing.
Saying no politely
Sometimes you might need to say no to a suggestion. It's good to give a reason why! It's important to be polite even if you say no.
“The zoo is too far.” 🗺️ It's a long way.
“I am tired.” 😴 I have no energy.
Were you right?
Let's check the ideas you chose at the beginning of the lesson.
Listen, say the word. Write it under the sound you hear: /s/ or /z/
Press each word to hear it and say it. Listen to the underlined letter. Then click on a word and put it in the right box.
/s/ (like “snake” 🐍)
/z/ (like “zebra” 🦓)
Put the letters in order to find the word
Follow the arrows in your head: each circle of letters hides a place or an activity of the lesson.
