Toys Unit small cards for the Elementary English Language Learners-Starters

 This resource is included in Toys Unit for Elementary English language Starters located in this LINK: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Toys-unit-for-Elementary-English-Language-Learners-Starters-1865563


Use the toys unit small cards for interactive learning for small group activities. Use these to encourage conversation, games and collaborative learning.    It is a great way to present vocabulary using visuals.

Found this activity for spelling practice. Print the template for each student. Have them throw the dice and count the letters in each word. Then, they write it under the corresponding dice. Students can even look up for more toys words and complete the columns.

Another die idea. Make two dice using the cards. I found a shoe box and managed to make the dice cutting up the cards.

Take a look at my die!

The idea is to throw the die and complete the spelling bingo printable. Then, start playing as you call on the words and the students tick them all to shout BINGO! It is a fun and easy way to have the students write the new words and memorize them.

Another easy idea for the students to work individually or in pairs, is to cut the word out of each card and have them match to the picture.

Guess! Place all the small cards in a stack in the middle of a group of students. They will take turns to guess which is the top card before turning it. If he/she could guess, then keeps the card. If not, the card goes to the bottom of the pack. The winner is the one with the most cards.

Food unit Small Cards for Elementary English Language Starters

 This resource is part of the Food Unit for Elementary English Language Starters.

Promote active learning with the small cards, which are a smaller version from the bigger flashcards. With this teaching tools students will engage in different activities or games that you will plan to improve the retention of the new vocabulary from this unit. Just dropping several ideas to use them.


Set the conditions for learning by using this kind of activity. Sorting is still a valuable teaching tool that I bring from Kindergarten to the Primary and Elementary grades. Sorting the food into food and drinks will provide another way to practice the vocabulary. Have them explain why they put a card into any category. They can do this on the board or a table to reinforce the key langauge.

Sorting food cards

Students will use their ability to classify or categorize the food unit cards encouraging their critical thinking.

classify or categorize the food cards

Personalizing/Personalising activities for your students makes it more relevant to them. They have the opportunity to connect what they are learning to their own experience, thought or likes, making the activity more engaging. Place all the small cards on a table for them to go pick the ones that they would plan a meal for themselves. They can take them to their desk, draw the items and write down the food in their meals. They can come up front and show their meal and have the students say if they liked it or not.


Personalizing/Personalising

Inspire Communication with this activity. Hand in the picture food small cards to a group of students and the order ticket to the other half. The students with the small cards should be at their desks with the cards facing down. The students with the order tickets should stand up and walk around looking for the items to complete their order, asking questions: Do you have a hamburger? If the student has the card, they have to give it to the student.

The first student to complete the order ticket comes to the front and will take fist place. Students will stand in the corresponding order. Give specific feedback as you highlight the correct question that you hear: Pete, I heard you ask correct questions, very good!

Pets Unit Games for Elementary ELL

 This resource is included in the Pets Unit for Elementary ELL -Starters. 

LINK: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Pets-Unit-for-Elementary-ELL-Starters-10780015


The games will boost your students’ confidence in their English language skills. They will participate with knowledge of the language and take risks at playing with their peers. Games provide a place to motivate speaking expanding your students' linguistic competence.

The pet unit board game can be adapted for the different levels of English that you have in class. Make your own rules for the game or even better have the students make new ones to make it more challenging for the more proficient students.

Print the board, cut and glue to assemble one bigger game. Glue the tips of the game board markers. There are four, so this is a game for mainly 4 students. The pet shop template is for students to place the cards they get when playing. The winner is the one with the most pets in their shops. Students can play by just recognizing the pet they land on and get the corresponding card to place in their shop. As they get more advanced, make more difficult gramma sentences, such as: I want an orange cat for my pet shop.

pet unit board game

Playing this picture and word domino is great to use as a social interaction activity to promote socialization between your students.  It will be a matching picture and then word and so on. If you need bigger tiles let me know. I made them small in order for students to take them even outdoors or to play on their own.

Jumbled sentences games will reinforce the students with the correct understanding of the order of words in a sentence. This works towards proper grammar and syntax rules. Students’ ca moves the cards to make larger sentences or just make phrases. They can even write them down on their notebooks afterwards.

The sentence association game is great for language production as the students have to read the sentences and find the corresponding picture. They might find two pictures for one sentence and use their ability to pick the correct one. As your teaching context is unique, adapt this game as a reading activity or a listening/speaking one in which one student reads the sentence and the others find the corresponding card with the picture.

There is a set of small cards with pictures and words. It will help students memorize the new vocabulary. Use them for writing activities if you wish.

Include spelling activities for vocabulary development. This kind of activities helps into learning and remembering the new words.


 I used play Spelling Bingo a lot with my students. They really loved it. Just hand in a spelling bingo pet template to each student or group of students, so they know that these are spelling words playing. They will write five pet words on the template.

Call the words using the cards from any of the games above.


Made a guess what? Instead of a guess who? game. Give each pair of students a template with all the pets. I would suggest that you place them on a clear plastic sheet for them to write on the card and then erase easily for future use.

The students will ask each other questions bout the animal that one student selected for the other to guess: Is it green? Does it have big eyes? Is it a frog?

This resource is part of the pets unit for Elementary English Languge learners-Starters.    LINK: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Pets-Unit-for-Elementary-ELL-Starters-10780015



I always have small cards in all the resources because they are easy to carry around and can be used inside or outdoors. Students can use them anytime. These offer a clear support for the lesson plan. They can be used for the presentation of the key vocabulary.

Use these to introduce animal vocabulary.

Introduce the verb to have in interrogative, affirmative and negative answers.

Hand in all the pets unit small cards to the students and ask questions: What do you have?
Student: I have a dog.

Teacher: Do you have a cat?
Student: Yes, I do.

Do you have a fish?
Student: No, I don’t.

Students can describe the pet on the small cards.
Look, I have a mouse!

describe the pet

Have your students develop their self-expression through movement using their body and/or mime as you show the small cards. Check how the students will reproduce animal movements maybe even using the sounds the pets make.
Teacher: Move like a fish!


Display the pet unit small cards and the word strips all mixed up on the board, a volunteer matches the picture to the written word.

Show all the flashcards, both pictures and word cards. Give nine children the words and bring them to the front of the class. Then, hand out the pictures around the class. The children with the pictures do not let the children with the words see their flashcard. The children with the words then have to find which children have the picture that corresponds to it by asking: Do you have a mouse?


Students can do sorting of the small cards on their own. Use the cards to review vocabulary related to the parts of the body of the pets.

Hand in several white boards with the sorting phrases written on each. It can be the size of the ears: big ears and small ears.

size of the ears: big ears and small ears.

 Sort the pets with 2 legs and 4 legs!

Rooms of the house small cards for Elementary EFL

                         This resource is included in the House Unit available here: 

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Rooms-of-the-House-Unit-for-Elementary-ELL-10395114



The small cards are easy to use anywhere in class, on the table, on the floor, outside on the playground. Plan small group activities or with a partner to encourage conversation and collaborative learning. The cards are flexible to suit the individual learning goals that you have planned.

Print your set of small cards and do a little spelling as your students will use them as a reference to write them down on any surface that you have available. I used these writing erasable strips and whiteboard markers. Suitable to practice the vocabulary of the parts of the house.

small cards parts of the house

My example is just writing words, but students can write complete sentences.

Small cards can be used for repetition and review.

Using a white crayon, a group of students will write the rooms of the house words on a white cardboard in random order.  They will give that cardboard to another group, who will use finder paints to color over the words to discover the words. Then, they will match the small cards to each word.

These cards will aid in comprehension and memory retention. Make a house using the small cards and cardboard to use in class.

Students will actively engage with the material as you ask questions with Where?

Have the students place the family members where you say: Mother is in the bedroom!
Or ask questions: Where is mother?
Students: She is in the kitchen!
Is brother in the garden or the bathroom?
Students: in the garden!

ask questions with Where? small cards

It can also be a writing activity. Tailor the learning experience to your student’s needs.

Have your students place all the family members where they want and then they should write a text.
