Daily Routines: My Day in English

• newEditor

THIS IS MY DAILY ROUTINE!

Use animated, cartoon-style visuals inspired by family-friendly storybook animation. Keep the recurring line visible across the lesson: “This is my daily routine”.

Our learning goal

I can understand and use key everyday words to describe a daily routine in order, and recognise simple true or false statements and missing words about it.

What words come to mind when you hear daily routine?

Use this to activate prior knowledge. Expect simple words such as wake up, school, breakfast, sleep, morning, night. Invite pupils to notice that routines happen in order.

What is a daily routine?

A daily routine is what we do every day.

We can talk about actions in order:

• morning

• afternoon

• night

Main phrase: This is my daily routine.

Keep the explanation very simple. Model the phrase aloud more than once so pupils can repeat it naturally.

A day from start to finish

We can describe a day in sequence:

Morning → wake up, wash, get dressed, eat breakfast, go to school

Afternoon → learn, eat lunch, play outside, do homework, read a book

Night → help at home, take a shower, brush hair, put on pyjamas, say goodnight, go to sleep

This slide sets the full journey of the routine so later vocabulary has a clear place in the day.

Song presentation

The song helps us remember the routine.

Key line:

This is my daily routine.

The actions in the song follow the day in order.

The user asked for song-based content. Keep this as the core text source for the lesson, even if the teacher performs or plays an AI-created song separately.

Song lyrics

This is my daily routine.

I wake up and brush my teeth.

I wash my face and get dressed.

I eat breakfast and go to school.

This is my daily routine.

At school I learn.

I eat lunch and play outside.

I do homework and read a book too.

Read or sing this slowly. Pause after each action so pupils can point, mime, or repeat. Keep rhythm simple and repetitive.

Song lyrics

Then I help at home at the end of the day.

I take a shower and brush my hair.

I put on my pyjamas.

I say goodnight and go to sleep.

This is my daily routine.

Second half of the song. Emphasise the order words with gestures: first, then, later, at night.

Which part of the day comes first in the routine?

A

night

B

morning

C

afternoon

D

bedtime

Checks understanding of the overall sequence introduced in the routine overview and song.

Complete the song routine

This is my daily routine. I wake up and brush my teeth. I wash my face and get dressed. I eat breakfast and go to school. At school I learn and later I play outside.

wake up

get dressed

go to school

play outside

go to sleep

take a shower

say goodnight

read a book

All answers come from the song lyrics and follow the taught order from morning into the school day.

Morning words

Common morning actions:

• wake up

• brush teeth

• wash face

• get dressed

• eat breakfast

• go to school

Link each verb phrase to a simple action or mime. Keep pronunciation natural and slow.

Afternoon words

Common afternoon actions:

• learn

• eat lunch

• play outside

• do homework

• read a book

Clarify that some children do homework later in the day, but in this routine it comes after school as part of the sequence.

Night words

Common night actions:

• help at home

• take a shower

• brush hair

• put on pyjamas

• say goodnight

• go to sleep

Distinguish ‘go to sleep’ from ‘go to bed’ if needed: pyjamas and goodnight happen before sleep.

Useful sequence words

We use simple time words to put actions in order:

• In the morning

• In the afternoon

• At night

Example:

In the morning, I wake up and brush my teeth.

Keep grammar light. The lesson aim is using routine vocabulary in sequence, not formal tense analysis.

Pronunciation practice

Listen for the strong words:

• wake up

• brush my teeth

• eat breakfast

• go to school

• go to sleep

Say the phrase smoothly:

This is my daily routine.

Model chunking rather than single-word spelling. Example: ‘brush my teeth’ as one rhythm group.

Which action belongs at night?

A

eat lunch

B

go to school

C

put on pyjamas

D

learn

Tests whether pupils can sort routine actions by time of day after the vocabulary slides.

When do we say this action: brush teeth?

1

morning

2

afternoon

3

night

4

both morning and night

Put the routine in order with time words

This is my daily routine. In the morning, I wake up and eat breakfast. In the afternoon, I learn, eat lunch, and do homework. At night, I put on my pyjamas and go to sleep.

In the morning

In the afternoon

At night

At school

At home

Later

Reinforces sequence phrases exactly as taught on the content slides.

How the routine fits together

The routine follows the day step by step:

wake up → get ready → school → afternoon activities → bedtime

This order helps us understand the song and remember the words.

This is the clearest place to stress sequence as the organising idea of the whole lesson.

Learning with technology

This lesson can use CALL and E-learning.

• CALL means learning a language with a computer or tablet.

• E-learning means learning with digital materials online.

• The song, pictures, and listening tasks support English practice.

Keep the explanation brief and age-appropriate. Do not go into theory; just connect technology to the song and visuals.

Blended learning in this lesson

Blended learning mixes classroom learning and digital learning.

In this lesson:

• the teacher explains the routine

• the class listens to the song

• pupils can use digital activities to practise the same words

The user requested this element explicitly. Keep it simple and concrete so it still fits a KS2 English lesson.

Why the song helps

The song helps learning because it:

• repeats key words

• shows actions in order

• makes pronunciation easier

• helps us remember English for everyday life

Text

Land the lesson by returning to the central phrase and the idea of sequence from morning to night.

What does CALL mean in this lesson?

A

singing online

B

learning with pictures

C

learning with a computer

D

reading with a partner

Links directly to the short technology explanation. Keep wording simple if you read the options aloud.

Why does the song help us learn?

A

It repeats words

B

It changes the order

C

It adds hard grammar

D

It uses fewer actions

Checks understanding of the concluding idea that repetition and order support memory and pronunciation.

What is one new word you learned today?

Encourage pupils to name one routine word or one time phrase they learned, such as wake up, play outside, at night, or daily routine.

What helped you learn best in this lesson?

Possible ideas: the song, repeating the line, pictures, actions, saying the words aloud, or putting the day in order.
