Setswana First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 5

Today, we will learn about different animals in Setswana. Animals are an important part of our lives and culture. We will focus on names of common animals such as 'ntšhake' (cat), 'ntwa' (dog), 'kudu' (antelope), 'nku' (sheep), and 'kgoši' (lion). I will show you pictures of these animals, and we will practice saying their names together.

Let's look at a picture of a 'ntwa' (dog). I will say the word, and you will repeat after me. Now, can anyone tell me what sound a dog makes? Yes, it barks! In Setswana, we can say 'ntwa e a goga' (the dog barks). Let's do this with a few more animals.

I will show you a series of animal pictures. When I show you a picture, I want you to shout out the name of the animal in Setswana. After that, we will make the sound that animal makes. For example, if I show you a picture of a 'kgoši' (lion), you will say 'kgoši' and then we will roar together! This will help you remember the names and sounds of the animals.

Now it's your turn! I have prepared a matching game with animal pictures and their names in Setswana. You will work in pairs to match the pictures with the correct names. Once you finish, we will come together and share what you have learned. This will help reinforce your vocabulary and make learning fun!
