Note: If there is more than one learner in the class, teach the song to the learners and
have the learners practice the song while pointing to the correct body parts. Sing the
song and have the learners compete by pointing to the body parts.
2. Describe someone
Have the learner bring pictures of people (their family members, friends, famous people,
etc.) to the class. Have the learner show and describe the people in the pictures. For
example:
nii k n chaay kh chan. khaw mii phom sii dam. taa sii nam taan.
Explain that it is only when the learner hears saymn bk waa (w:,jvo[vd;jk, Simon
says) in front of the command that the learner should move. Otherwise, the learner should
stay still. If the learner makes a mistake, he/she loses one point. For example:
The tutor says:
saymn bk waa: yok m khwaa khn.
w:,jvo[vd;jk pd,nv-;k
Simon says, Right hand up.
The learner must follow the instruction by raising his/her right hand.
But if the tutor just says:
yok m saay khn.
pd,nv:hkp
Left hand up.
The learner should stay still because the tutor did not say
saymn bk waa (w:,jvo[vd;jk, Simon says) in front of the command. If the learner
makes a mistake, he/she loses one point.
Take turns giving and following commands. The person with the least points loses.
Note: Before doing this activity, teach such words as:
han
t
yok
aw ___ lo
book
syo
c9t
pd
gvk ___ ]
F[d
turn
touch
raise
put ___ down

Teach new action words by writing the Thai words down, performing the action for each
word and having the learner imitate the tutor. Say the words and have the learner perform
the actions.
5. Create a cartoon character
Draw a set of eyes with different colors, a set of noses and mouths with different colors
and shapes, a set of faces with different shapes and colors, a set of hair with different
colors, a set of hands with different colors, a set of arms and legs with different colors.
Have the learner put all the body parts together according to step-by-step instructions. For
example:
chay naa woklom sii khaaw.
.=hsohk;d],lu-k;
Use the round, white face.

;k9kluohegbo][osohk
Put the blue eyes on the face.

Thai people may visit their relatives or friends house without notice. If you havent seen
the host for a long time, they might say What brings you here? in a welcoming manner.
The guest should take off his/her shoes when entering the house. Every visitor will be
served with at least a glass of water. If you go to someones house near mealtime, the
host will usually ask if you have eaten anything and invite you to eat with them. Thai
people do not show their guests every room in their houses. Bedrooms are very private
places. If you stay overnight at the hosts house, it is good manners for the guest to offer
to help. Thai people have an expression, When you stay at the hosts house, do not be
indifferent. Make toys for the hosts children. In fact, the host does not expect the guest
to help with anything. They feel guilty if you are not well served while you are staying
with them.
5. Follow-up activities

and guests. Have the learner talk about the etiquette that is not mentioned in the text.
He/she can ask the tutor about additional points of etiquette of being a host and a guest in
Thailand and make comparisons. For example, see the chart below.
