Christmas Coloring Worksheets as a listening, speaking or writing activity

 It's Christmas and when we think of coloring pages we think of the little ones. I do have FREE worksheets  for the students. For the older students, it can be a writing practice as they color and write a short text for their page. 

Here is the LINK to the FREE resource:

 https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Christmas-Coloring-for-Kindergarten-EFL-3527578

For our English Language Learners of all ages can benefit of a listening activity as they color the worksheets.
Teacher: Find the bear! Color it brown.
Find the Christmas tree! Color it green.

Or do a show and tell. Students come up to the front and describe their worksheet: This is a bear. It has a Christmas hat. It is red.

This is what I did! I wrote the word for each item on the coloring page using a wax crayon.

Then, using markers I started coloring the pictures and the word would show up. Here is my example.

So, it is just a Spelling activity for the Season. If you do yours, please show me!

Birthday Unit Worksheets- part 3

Almost done with the birthday unit. I had some worksheets from previous years and made extra ones. I added them them to the same product from the previous blog post about the Birthday Unit Vocabulary.

It is also available here: https://www.bilingualmarketplace.com/products/birthday-unit-for-esl?variant=34616677793956

Worksheet 1. A simple worksheet to review a basic grammar point. Then, students cut the pictures and sentence and write more sentences on their notebooks.

Worksheet 2. This is a reading and coloring the picture worksheet.

I used a finger eye to read. I don’t remember where I got them. Watch the video.

Worksheet 3. Instead of color by number , it is a color by word. After the worksheet is done the children cut it up and have the student next to him/her glue the puzzle worksheet on the notebook.

Worksheet 4. This worksheet is useful for lower level students.

When the students have to do a matching word to picture I ask them to use a different color for each word.

For the numbered cupcakes, dictate  the color for each one.

Teacher:  Cupcake number one is red.

Worksheet 5. Dictate the color of each cake. When you do this it helps with listening.

Teacher:  Cake number one is purple.

Have the students color the number as you dictate.

Teacher:  Number one is blue.

Students cut and paste the numbers where they belong.

Once the worksheet is completed, make a mobile by hanging the cakes in the correct number sequence.

Worksheet 6. After the worksheet is colored, students can cut all the cakes and write a sentence describing each one on their notebooks.

Worksheet 7. Decorating a cupcake should be fun! Have the students add anything they want such as real sprinkles to decorate their personal cupcake.

Worksheet 8. I made two versions for this worksheet. It is an already colored worksheet that you can place into a clear plastic sheet and students can write using a dry erase marker.

                                   The other version is a normal worksheet.

Worksheet 9. Another read and color worksheet. Thinking that the cake can be turned into a puppet for reading.

Worksheet 10 and 11. I included easier to complete worksheets for the lower level students that you might have.

Worksheet 12. For more advanced students this worksheet is great. After the worksheet is done, cut it all and make a match game.

Worksheet 13. After the students complete the worksheets do a little listening as you dictate the colors of all the vocabulary words. 

Teacher: Color the lemonade yellow.

Have the students cut the sentences and pictures and glue on their notebooks as they match them.

Worksheet 14. The questionnaire. Have the students walk around asking questions to their classmates and completing the questionnaire. Students can write the results on their notebooks.

There will be another blog post with  more resources for the Birthday unit. Follow me!!

Turkey in disguise for ESL students in Thanksgiving

 or here at my other store:   https://www.bilingualmarketplace.com/products/turkey-in-disguise-for-esl-students-in-thanksgiving?variant=31252565491850

As I was looking for creating a new Thanksgiving  product I came across the cute Turkey in disguise clip art from Scrappin Doodles. I started looking for the Turkey in disguise book, but I just found this poem with no author.

My name is Tom Turkey

And I’m afraid as I can be.

I’m wearing my disguise

So you won’t catch me.

And there’s an audio book video on  YOUTUBE:     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjXTNlW2qaU (Turkey Trouble).

If you are reading the book and have more advanced students, there is a free product at the Teacherspayteachers.com store.

I thought that it would be good to review the community helpers, jobs and occupations and made several flashcards. Review the vocabulary words using the flashcards.

As many of you have commented that you liked the labeling the flashcards activity. Here is another one.

Play BINGO! With the flashcards. Hand in the 3x3 bingo grid to each student and have them write any of the 20 community helpers, jobs and occupations words. Start call the words with the flashcards and the students cross out the words they hear as you show the flashcard. The winner is the first one to cross out all the words.

Place all the flashcards on the board. Have the students notice that all the turkeys are wearing something or have an object with them.  In an allotted amount of time such as 5 or 10 minutes have them list all the objects. The winner is the one that list the most objects. Have that student dictate them and write them on the board as the class crosses them out. Then, have the class dictate words that haven’t been said.

I created two game board to be used in game stations. Print them and make different groups to play the games.

I place an opened clip behind each character to be used as markers.

 Demonstrate some useful phrases for playing the game: It’s my turn (by pointing to yourself) It’s your turn (by pointing to another person)

I made several flashcards to warm up the phrases that are most common during the game. There’s the flashcard for roll the die, start, finish, move, don’t fight. Introduce those words and leave the flashcards on the board as a reminder.

Then, I created a turkey to be disguised! 

I like to encourage creativity in the classroom to engage my students and to make learning fun and to express the  language that they know. The turkey can be anything, there are hats, shoes, and more to create a very fun disguised turkey. Plase send me pictures of the turkey!

And for some older kids they can write a text. My sister in law did this one. 

 I thought about your students and managed to come up with  the color by numbers pages!

Or something easier, just coloring.

Halloween Activities for the ESL student

Another Halloween again! I prepared this resource with many things. Hope you like it. 

LINK: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Halloween-Activities-for-ESL-4937335

Let’s start with Halloween Flashcards!

 Picture Dictionary. Hand in the 3 pages for making the picture dictionary. It is a good idea to do this in groups. This is a cut and paste activity.

I love tracing cards. It is a spelling activity that can be done using the clear plastic sheet. Just as some native language students learn to trace words in Preschool some ESL learners benefits from tracing.

I made another set of tracing cards that can work as coloring cards. Practice coloring the body parts and/or the clothes.

I made a smaller version of the tracing cards to create an accordion book.

First, I glued one card onto another.

Then, I folded all the cards into an accordion.

I traced the cover onto cardboard to make the other part of the book. I glued the first page onto the cover and the last one onto the cardboard.

Just a worksheet to place all the words in ABC order.

Spelling Bingo is always a fun game to play. Use the small cards or the Big Flashcards to call the Bingo words. Students just write a playing word in each part of the spinner. They have to cross out the word that is being called if they have it.

If Spelling Bingo is not enough. Try Spelling Scrabble. I added the Scrabble letters. I printed them onto Halloween colored paper, I chose orange and purple. I did my example using the puppets, you can use any of the small cards in the resource.

I also made worksheets with all the Halloween Characters without the face parts and for the students to color the clothes items.

Teacher: This is Dracula. He has green eyes, a small nose and funny mouth. 
Students draw as indicated.

You can also dictate how he is dressed or have them color the clothes and then describe his clothes.

Students: Dracula is wearing a black and red cape, gray pants and brown shoes.

I made all the characters into puppets using toilet paper rolls. Here are just a few and made a haunted house, it comes in two pages which you will have to glue to make a big one. I printed mine onto orange cardboard and colored the door, the windows and roof to review parts of the house.

Teacher: What color is the door?

Students: It’s brown!

Use the puppets to review the words.

Teacher: Who is he?

Students: He is the Mummy!

Teacher: Who is she?

Students: She is the Witch!

I also used the puppets to do prepositions practice.

Teacher: Where is the Devil?

Students: She is in front of the Haunted House!

 Teacher: Where is Frankenstein?

Students: He is behind the Haunted House!

Teacher: Where is the Witch?

Students: She is in the Haunted House!

Or have the students write about where the characters are.

A game board for those minutes of free play!

I taped an opened clip behind each game piece to make it stand as a marker.
