Transportation Flashcards for Elementary ELL

 This resource is included in the Transportation unit for Elementary ESL at this link: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Transportation-Unit-for-Elementary-ESL-4049752

The resource helps students learn essential transportation-related words to improve their vocabulary. These flashcards provide clear, visual representations of transportation vocabulary, aiding comprehension and retention.

The flashcards can be used in vocabulary drills such as description of the vehicles: The train is red.

Flashcards encourage students to answer questions about the different types of transportation.

Teacher: Are there two cars?
Students: Yes, there are.

Make your lessons more dynamic and fun, incorporating the sorting  the flashcards by land, sea, air activity.

Use any flashcards for small group or whole-class activities. Model an example using the demonstratives: this and that, these and those. Example: This is a boat and that is a ship.

Hand in several flashcards to the stduents and have them say their sentences.

Practice the grammar structure: “I like [transportation], but I don’t like [transportation].” to reinforce transportation vocabulary. Emphasize the” final s” to the nouns.

Teach and practice adjectives related to the vehicles (e.g., long, short, cheap, expensive, fast, slow, new, old, big, small).

Review the adjective words using your arms and hands. Stretch your arms for long and hold your hands closer for short. Practice by doing another sorting on the board, having the students select the corresponding flashcards for each adjective.

Introduce the comparatives of adjectives (faster, slower, bigger, smaller). Teach the Spelling Rule: Add -er to the adjective: fast → faster

Practice the superlatives of the adjectives (the fastest, the slowest, the biggest, the smallest). Ask students to make sentences with other flashcards.

Students can physically move flashcards around to demonstrate prepositions.

Give students instructions: “The van is next to the bus.”

Ask where people are in the vehicles using the corresponding preposition.

Have students use the word “ by “ to describe how to go to different places.

The flashcards can be adapted for different verb tenses and structures.

Tell the students that we use these three main verbs for the vehicles. Place them on the board and create a mind map.

Teacher: I can drive a car.
Students: I can fly a plane.

Have students take turns making sentences answering with the present continuous.

Calendar: days, Months, ordinal numbers cards

 This resource is included in -Calendar Unit Elementary ESL- https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Calendar-Unit-for-Elementary-ESL-1722495

This resource includes essential components for teaching the calendar: cards for the days of the week, months, and ordinal numbers. Teachers can introduce, reinforce, and review calendar concepts in an engaging and organized way. The resource is easy for teachers to implement, requiring minimal preparation. When you teach the Calendar, think of it as a wonderful opportunity for building the language of math.

The use of cards allows for interactive, hands-on activities where students can manipulate the pieces to arrange the days, months, and ordinal numbers in order. Arranging the days of the week and months in order helps students develop sequencing and critical thinking skills.

 

Hand in the 7 days of the week cards to 7 students. Have them stand in line, one next to the other in the week sequence.  Do the same with the months of the year.

The colorful cards and interactive nature of the resource keep students engaged. Write in a scrambled order the days of the week on the board. Have the students come and place the correct card on each word.

It can also be done with the months of the year or the ordinal numbers.

Have the students complete a blank calendar with the days of the week cards and then with the ordinal numbers cards.

Teach: today is, yesterday was and tomorrow is using the days of the week cards on the board. Add an arrow to make the concept clear.

Learning about the parts of a calendar equips students with practical knowledge that they can use for talking about birthdays. Ask when is your birthday. Place all the month calendars on the board and have a student come and    say: My birthday is in May!

Have the students count the days in the months. Use the month model: What month is this?
Students: January!
Teacher: Count the days in This month!
Students: There are 31 days in January.

Ask the students how many days are there in each month and place the card under the similar one. Talk about February later.

Write the starting letter of the Months on the board. Have the stduents come and place the card next to each letter. Ask questions: Which months start with an M?

Students: May and March!

Hand in the months of the year cards and have the students place them backwards and say the words.

Students are now ready to talk about the date. They are able to identify and differentiate between days, months, and years, which helps them understand time progression.

Use the card set to build the Full Date.

 For example: "Today is Saturday, June, 5th, 2025."

Have students practice writing the date on the board using the cards as you dictate.
