Town and Community Helpers, plus transportation themes for the ESL learner.

                                           
In this blog post we will relate the community helpers to where they work and add their transportation.
Introduce the buildings using the flashcards. Ask the students who works in each building.

Match the building flashcard (school) to the community helpers (teachers) and people (students) flashcards. In this example more than person goes to the same building.

Now, make sentences.
Teacher: What is this?
Students: It´s the Hospital.
Teacher: Who works in a hospital?
Students: The nurse and the doctor.

More questions.
Teacher: Who is he ?
Students: He is the pilot.
Teacher: Where is the pilot?
Students: He is at the airport.
Place all the people flashcards on one side and the buildings on the other.
Say the name of a community member and the students have to answer with the work place and then the opposite.
Teacher: farmer!
Students: Farm!
Teacher: theater!
Students: ballerina!

Let´s pretend. Have the students pick a community helper and the corresponding work place and stand in front of the class holding a flashcard in each hand.
Teacher: Who are you ?
Student: I am a firefighter.
Teacher: Where are you ?
Student: I am at the fire station.

Where are you going to? Give several students a community member necklace and give the building flashcards to the other group. They stand in front of each other in random order.
Teacher: Who are you ?
Student: I am a clown.
Teacher: Where are you going to?
Student: I am going to the circus. (and walks to the corresponding flashcard)

I made small cards for the same matching exercise. Give  several groups the same set of cards and ask the children to match the cards in the shortest period of time. The first group to finish is the winner.

Place the building flashcards and the transportation cutouts for each one on a desk. Give instructions.
Teacher: There is an ambulance in front of the hospital. There are two fire trucks, one is next to the fire station and the other is in front of the fire station.

And I made people and transportation cutouts. I glued them onto toilet paper rolls and I used longer rolls for the flashcards.
Teacher: There is an ambulance in front of the Hospital.
Teacher: There are two ambulances in front of the Hospital.

More examples to say to the students and have them locate the ambulances.
Teacher: There is an ambulance in front of the Hospital. There is an ambulance next to the Hospital. There is ambulance behind the Hospital.

Teacher: The doctor and the nurse are in front of the Hospital.

And here is the whole scene for the Hospital.

You can do more locations using the cutouts set.
