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.
