carrots, and cabbage: T shows Ls potatoes and asks Кто любит картофель?/Who likes potatoes?. Ls who like potaotes raise their hands.

Expansion Ideas
This lesson focused on plurals formed by adding –ы or –и. Subsequent lessons could explore plurals of neuter nouns, nouns that shift stress in plural (house vocabulary from Unit 2) and irregular plurals (professions vocabulary from Unit 1).
Learners could share a picture of a salad or vegetable side dish that they like and list the ingredients. Including only five vegetables in the first two lessons of this unit gives Ts and Ls an opportunity to add additional vocabulary items suggested by learners, in order to personalize vocabulary learning.

4. That person passes it to the next person and says “Вот помидор”. 5. They pass the помидор to the end of the line of team members and the
“host mom” puts it in a bowl. 6. The next person in line then runs to the refrigerator to get the next item
