Birthday Unit Resources for Elementary ELL

  LINK to the Birthday unit resource that can be used with first graders: 
1st grade
There is more for the Birthday unit here:

Birthday Flashcards. Flashcards are still effective tools for the class. Plan motivating games with the theme for independent learning or for groups.
Place the flashcards on the board. Point to the cake.
Teacher: Cake. It’s a cake.

Birthday has Flashcards. A set of boys and girls going to a party with a gift and party hat or balloons. Place them on the board and write any set of numbers that you want to review. I choose from the 20’s to the 40.Ask as many questions as you can.
Teacher: What does number 21 have?
Students: He has a hat.
Teacher: What color is the hat?
Students: It is red, purple and yellow

Birthday Vocabulary Spelling.
Use the cupcake letter tiles to build the theme´s vocabulary words and review the ones from previous units. Each student of group of students can have a set of letters.
·       Children can line up the tiles in alphabetical order. Make it a contest.
·       Place the flashcards in a visible place and have students build the words.
·       Have children build new words in an allotted time. See which group has built the more correct words.

Birthday Cupcake small book.
Creating their own books will develop a positive attitude towards reading. In the doing, it will involve that children will be motivated as they will own a book that they will be able to read at home. It will enhance their narrative skill by telling the story to their parents.

Birthday cutouts for introducing prepositions.
Print and cutout the birthday cutouts to introduce prepositions. Place the table cutout in the middle of the board.
Teacher: What is this?
Students: It’s a cupcake.
Teacher: Where is the cupcake?
Students: It’s on the table.
Continue asking questions using all the prepositions.
Birthday cake and Numbers tracing cards.

 Birthday Worksheets.
Worksheet 1. Students read and color the balloons. The worksheet can be turned into a notebook activity. Have the students glue the sentence next to each balloon.
Worksheet 2. Students read and color the boys and girls. Then they have to cut out each person and glue them next to the correct paragraph on their notebook.
Worksheet 3. I couldn’t help it when I saw these Party Animals clip art and created this worksheet that can be done in several steps or in different ways.
First, have the students color the animals as you dictate them to practice listening. It also helps to keep the pace as students have to color on the time that you give them such as a minute for each animal.  Teacher: Color the giraffe orange!
There is the cake that students color as in the paragraph that you hand in. It can be done as a diorama. Students read the paragraph and place the animals where it corresponds. I placed an opened clip behind each item. Students can take turns reading each sentence and another student has to place the animal.
It can also be done as a poster . I glued everything as in the paragraph.
or a notebook activity.

I am adding even more ideas and activities for the clothes theme from a previous post. Link: http://eflelementaryresources.blogspot.com/2017/01/clothes-resources-for-elementary-ell.html

Starting with flashcards for the clothes unit to promote the use of spontaneous language.
Have two students stand in front of the class with two flashcards.
Teacher: Look at the skirt. It´s Karen´s skirt. (Point to the skirt and the girl)
Teacher: Look at the shirt. It´s  Henry´s shirt. (Point to the shirt and the boy)
Name a piece of clothing and the students say who they belong.
Teacher: dress!
Students: It´s Karen´s dress!
Teacher: Whose sweater is this?
Ask Henry and Karen questions.
Teacher: Henry, What clothes do you have?
Henry: I have a white shirt and a brown sweater.

Place 4 Flashcards on the board and write a name for each one.
Teacher: Who has a blue jacket?
Students: Carlos! Carlos has a blue jacket.
Teacher: Who has a green skirt?
Students: Ellen! Ellen has a green skirt.

Make sentences.
Teacher: Ellen has a green coat. She has a yellow blouse. She has a green skirt and green shoes. She has a pink purse.

Play a guessing game.
Put up 10 flashcards on the board.  Write a number under each one. I used counting by 10s.
Have the students guess which card is the selected one by you.
Students:  Is the person wearing a dress ?
Teacher:  No!
Students:  Is the person wearing pants ?
Teacher:  No!
Students:  Is the person wearing a skirt ?
Teacher: YES!
Students:  Is the person wearing a long skirt ?
Teacher:  YES!
Students:  Is the person wearing a hat ?
Teacher:  YES!
Students:  It´s number 40 !
Teacher: YES!

Numbers. Place several flashcards on the board and write a number word under each clothing item. Hand in the Number Flashcards 1 to 20 and have them look for their number word and place the flashcard where it belongs.
Student: The blouse is number 20.

Sort by season! Place the 4 Seasons flashcards on the board. Hand in all the clothing flashcards and designate a group for each Season. Students have to sort the flashcards and place them in the Season where they belong as in a mind map.
Students: It´s Spring. We can wear a cap and jeans.

Moving on to activities and worksheets.

Magazine pictures. Have the children choose pictures from magazines. Have them write 5 sentences for each pictures on a separate paper.  You choose more pictures to add interest and difficulty. Place the pictures on the board and hand in the texts with the sentences to random students. At your signal they all stand with their assigned text and find the picture that matches their text.
Create your sweater. Have the students color the sweater they chose. They can add as many details they want. Then, cut out the sweater and be ready to compare with other students. Have them add a price tag. Perfect for adjectives.
Teacher: My sweater is the biggest.
Student 1: My sweater is the smallest.
Student 2: My sweater is more expensive than Pedro´s.
Ask questions.
Teacher:  How much is the green sweater?
Student: It´s 10 $.
Teacher: Tomas, is this sweater yours?
Student: Yes, it is.
I added the frog and clothes worksheets from my weather blog post. Have the students dress the frog according to a Season.

Clothes and family. Display all the family flashcards on the board.  Have the students identify all the family members. Then have them describe what the family members are wearing. Repeat with all the family members.
Teacher: Who is this?
Students: Mother!
Teacher: What is Mother wearing?
Students: She is wearing a brown dress.
Teacher: Who is wearing a purple skirt?
Students: Grandmother!

Give the students the clothes labels and the family pictures. Have them color the clothes as you dictate, good for listening activity.
Teacher: Mother 's dress is red.
Then, the students glue the label next to the corresponding item of clothing.
Clothes cutouts. Students can cut clothing items out of several magazines and place them in an envelope for many speaking activities between pairs.
Student1: What is this? (Showing the cutout)
Student 2: It Is a green sweater.
Clothes Worksheets. Sort the clothes into like and don´t like. Have the students cut out clothing items that they like and the ones that you don´t like and glue them in the corresponding box. Then, have a show and tell or they can write sentences.
Student: I like this jacket. I do not like that dress.
I am wearing worksheet. Have the students complete the sentences with the correct piece of clothing. Then have them either show and tell or write sentences to contrast singular and plural.     I am wearing a sweater. I am wearing shoes.
This is my favorite worksheet. Students can draw or cut outs clothes they love.
and a last worksheet....writing sentences!
