English🎬 WARMUP — Meet the Cartoon Family!
Today you’ll meet a funny cartoon family 👨👩👧👦 and learn to talk about your own “family album” using possessives (my/your/his/her/our/their) and have got.
Look at the family picture (on the board/screen).
Teacher points and asks: “Who is this?”
Class answers together: “This is the FATHER!” “This is the MOTHER!”
Quick picture word boost 👀🗣️
Flip the cards and say the word out loud together.
- mother
- мама
- father
- папа
- brother
- брат
- sister
- сестра
- parents
- родители
- friend
- друг/подруга
- grandma
- бабушка
- grandpa
- дедушка
- aunt
- тётя
- uncle
- дядя
Spin & come to the board 🎯
When the wheel chooses you, come to the board and label one character (say the word + point).
🧩 VOCABULARY — Family & Friends Words
We’ll use these words in our “family album” later. Say them clearly and confidently 💪
Teacher note: Do a fast in-class card activity: students match word cards to picture cards (e.g., mother ↔ 👩, father ↔ 👨, brother ↔ 👦, sister ↔ 👧). After each match, the whole class chants the word together.
Family words (with pronunciation + example)
Word | Translation (RU) | IPA | Example sentence |

father | папа | /ˈfɑːðə(r)/ | This is my father. |
brother | брат | /ˈbrʌðə(r)/ | I have got a brother. |
sister | сестра | /ˈsɪstə(r)/ | She has got a sister. |

🧠 THEORY — “My / Your / His / Her …” + “Have got”
Let’s discover the rule from examples first 👇
1) Look at these mini-lines (examples first)
My mum.
Your dad.
His brother.
Her sister.
What do you notice? The word (my/your/his/her) shows who the person belongs to.
Possessives (who does it belong to?)
Person | Possessive | Example |
|---|---|---|
I | my | This is my mother. |
you | your | Is this your brother? |
he | his | This is his father. |
she | her | This is her sister. |
we | our | This is our grandma. |
they | their | These are their parents. |
Important idea: English “my/your” does NOT change.
In Russian you change: мой/моя/моё. In English it’s always my.
His = for a boy/man. Her = for a girl/woman.
2) “Have got” = possession (I have it)
Now look at these examples:
I have got a brother.
She has got a sister.
“Have got” (present)
Subject | Form | Example |
|---|---|---|
I / you / we / they | have got | We have got a grandpa. |
he / she / it | has got | He has got a sister. |
Questions + short answers
Question | Short answer (Yes) | Short answer (No) |
|---|---|---|
Have you got a sister? | Yes, I have. | No, I haven’t. |
Has she got a brother? | Yes, she has. | No, she hasn’t. |
Common mistakes (and quick fixes) ✅
- Mistake: His sister is Anna (talking about a girl’s sister)
Fix: Her sister is Anna. (girl → her)
- Mistake: She have got a brother.
Fix: She has got a brother.
- Mistake: My is a mother.
Fix: She is my mother. / This is my mother.
