Easter for Elementary ELL

Easter small cards: play match the pairs of cards. Students will have to observe the cards  and concentrate.


Easter read and color book: have students construct meaning from the text and pictures. Then have them color only what indicates a color. The rest has to be blank.


Easter Pocket Chart: a wonderful resource to have in the class for those children who are kinesthetic learners. Children can work alone using the pocket chart. Explain to the children how the pocket chart works.

Easter Egg book: This book can be easily made just by coloring the picture and tracing the phrases. It can also be made by coloring, cutting out and gluing the pictures onto each egg. The phrases are very easy to read. I punched a hole and placed a butterfly clip.


Easter Letter Tiles: have the students make the Easter words by using the letter tiles. Then, invite them to make new words by using each letter of the word.


Easter worksheets. Use them in a dynamic way having the students interact with each other as they complete them.

St. Patrick´s Day

Link to the resources: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/St-Patricks-Day-for-Preschool-and-Elementary-ESL-1763425
                                            Watch the view with the resources:

Teaching the language will eventually come with teaching the culture. Provide a variety of activities, because the information for St. Patrick´s might be new for most kids. It is important that you understand the context of this Holiday and what you want them to learn.
                                              Flashcards 

Coloring book. I made a bigger version for the teacher and a smaller for the students. Have them read each sentence and color only what it says. Children will learn to focus on details when coloring. It will help recognize colors.
Here is my book with engaging reading text for Elementary English Language Learners.
book with engaging reading text

 Matching number/picture card and words. Games usually capture the student´s attention and encourage speaking .
 Play:
- Memory
-Match the word and picture
- Play Who has it? Hand in a card to each player in the group. Name a word and the student who has it, stands up and says the word.
- Play Find and say. Place all the cards face up on the group´s table. Name a word or number. The first student to find it and say the word wins the card. The winner is the one with the most cards.
Domino Game: 
 A tracer book. 
Fun bracelets.
                                   A hat for the super student.

Worksheets: they will work as a supplement to the activities, helping keep track of learning and understanding of the Holiday. Put students together in groups to finish the task.
