I always use flashcards to introduce the grammar point. I wish I had all these resources when I was teaching at a school 30 years ago. I had to draw mine or use magazine cutouts. Well, time flies and here we are.

Use the big flashcards to place the on the board as mine.They will give the use of the possessive adjectives in context.

Teacher: I run to my school.

Underline and point out I and My. Continue with the rest of cards.

I also made some cutouts to make sentences.

Teacher: My favorite color is pink.

Students: Our favorite color is brown.

Play is also a teaching tool to review this grammar point giving student access to communication and creation.

Game 1: Play sentence association.

Display all the cards on a table and have the students place a sentence next to the picture card just as your board example.

And do even more, give them a blank rectangle and students write a sentence using a possessive adjective.

Game 2: Match the subject pronoun to the adjective pronouns.

Game 3. Make possessive adjectives sentences. Cut all the words from each sentence and have the students build the sentence and match to the picture cards. I glued each word onto fun foam to make their studier.

Game 4. Sort the sentences into Possessive adjectives, form, questions.

Or sort them using envelopes. I placed a big clip on the back of each envelope for standing purpose. I also glued the super children characters on each envelope.

Game 5. Feed the zebra. I cut all the words from each sentence of the sentence association game. I grabbed an empty soda plastic bottle and glued the zebra printable. I managed to cut the mouth out. Students feed the zebra by reading each word.

                           

                                 I made a short video.

                  On the notebook. It is always fun to cut and glue.

There is a bundle for the Adjectives for teaching ESL Elementary students. Check it out.

or here:https://www.bilingualmarketplace.com/products/numbers-1-to-100-flashcards-and-more-for-esl?variant=14375483637809
                                   Watch the video of the complete resource:

100s chart with Number, Colors and Letters flashcards. I saw a similar idea on an old book and thought I could make one that can be used in the classroom and a small version for students to play in small groups. Place on the board all the colors flashcards horizontally and the letters cards vertically and fill in with the numbers flashcards.

Teacher: F ! blue!

Students: 57!

Teacher: 88!

Students: I! green !

Make more examples for the class to guess. Then students in small groups can play with their printable version.

Use the Number chart sheet printable. Give students instructions for coloring some numbers.

Teacher: Number 91 is red.

I also have a the colored worksheet that you can use multiple times for speaking activities . Have the students read aloud the numbers in chorus as you say the row.

Teacher: Row F!

Students: 51,52,5,3,54,55,56,57,58,59,60!

Teacher: RED!

Students: 5,15,25,35,45,55,65,75,85,95!

Use the Ipad printable for writing.I placed the printable into a clear sheet and used white board markers for writing. All these materials can be used for all your themes.

I have this round puncher that I usually use to punch out colored cardboard pieces left from other projects. I made a matching game using them.

Give the students the blank squares and a numeral card. They have to write that number in words and keep it but hand in the number card.  Mix up the number cards and hand in the students a different number card. At your signal students have to stand up and walk around looking for a match of their number card and a word card that they wrote. When they have found a match they say MATCH! Go over and verify, take away both cards of the match and have them continue playing.

Tell the students that they are going on a fast counting investigation. Give each group a classroom item card and have them count how many of that item are there in the classroom.

Group 1. There are 25 backpacks.

I found the idea of a similar game at Mailbox.com, I thought that it is a fun speaking game and gave it a twist. I added children on motorcycles and a road, along with Go and stop sign, not missing the numbers cards 1 to 100. Get two lunch bags and glue the stop and go on each bag. Separate the class into small groups and hand each group a set of bags with the numbers cards in each bag and the game pieces. There are 5 children on their motorcycles. Each student picks a character. Student 1 picks a card from the Go bag and a card from the STOP bag. That students says the numbers from the go to the stop numbers. If the student 1 says all the numbers, he moves his character one line along the road and sets aside the number cards. If the student does not say the number correctly, then the character cannot move.

Place all the numbers in a bag. Grab a number card and say it. Have the students write 3 more consecutives numbers and read the sequence aloud.

The small number cards can be used to express number sense in the target language. I made a printable format to play with the numbers finding consecutive numbers, the numbers before and the numbers that go after a specific one.

I made this Monster eats box for my Alphabet blog post. I had it standing around the studio and used it with the Number cards.

Teacher: Find number 55. The monster is eating number 55!

Use the small number cards to review prepositions. I printed a big 100 number and placed a clip behind it so it can stand. I also placed small clips behind the small cards.

Teacher: Number 50 is on Number 100.

Teacher: Number 55 is behind Number 100.

Teacher: Number 57 is in front of Number 100.

There are many ways to have the students practice writing. 

Students can have their own set of scrabble letters and write the word for each Number flashcard.

I love this scrabble game. Students can play at their own pace. Students can make their own rules and have fun while writing number words.

Just three worksheets to join this theme. I have seen so many teachers using notebooks and I remembered me using them a lot. I would tear down a worksheet and make more activities on the notebooks. I gave my own worksheets a try.

And I got inspired remembering what I used to do years ago. Students can copy the numbers from the board or from the flashcards. Dictation is a good listening exercise.

Let’s start with the Number flashcards that I made with the words. 

And flashcards without words.

Use the fly swatter to play with the flashcards. or do this Speaking activity. Hand in a number flashcard to each student. At your signal have them order themselves. Then, have them take a step and say their number on the flashcard.

Student: I am number 85.

Counting Numbers by 10s. Place all the flashcards on the board. Say all the numbers and have the students notice what is common to almost all the numbers. TY-ending. Say a number and have a student come up front and touch the number and say the word.

Teacher: sixty, eighty, twenty!

Have the students write the numbers on their notebooks as they see on board.

Dictate numbers: 60, 40, 20, 50, 90, 10, 20,70, 100

Have the students learn about equations. Place the number 80 flashcard on the board, the add symbol, then number 10 flashcard and the equal symbol and the ninety flashcard. Read the equation. Make more examples for the students to read. They can also make more examples on their notebooks.


Place the following pair of flashcards on the board. Point to each pair and stress the difference between each.

Teacher: four-teen and for-ty

Say the teen number and the students the 10s number.

Teacher: sixteen!

Students: sixty!

Numbers and prepositions. Place 9 random flashcards on the board and ask questions.

Teacher: What number is on 10?

Students: 78

Teacher: What number is under 10?

Students: 63

Teacher: What numbers are next to 10?

Students: 26 and 32

The students can play the same game with their small cards.

100s chart with Number, Colors and Letters flashcards. I saw a similar idea on an old book and thought I could make one that can be used in the classroom and a small version for students to play in small groups. Place all the colors flashcards horizontally and the letters cards vertically and fill in with the numbers flashcards.

Teacher: F ! blue!

Students: 57!

Teacher: 88!

Students: She is number 54.

Review There is structure. Place all the crayons flashcards on the board in random order.

Teacher: There is a yellow crayon! What number is it?

Students: It is number 24.

Have a volunteer student model the sentences and the class will answer.

Next blog post will be with games and worksheets to complete the resource.

Can as an ability for ESL students-part 2

This is the second part of CAN as an ability theme. Read the first part here:

https://eflelementaryresources.blogspot.com/2019/01/can-as-ability-flashcards-and-more-for.html

The resources  are  at the store: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Can-as-an-Ability-Flashcards-and-more-for-ESL-4299251

                         Watch the video of the complete resource:

The resource is also available at this store:https://www.bilingualmarketplace.com/products/can-as-an-ability-unit-for-elementary-esl?variant=37269075329188

The teacher’s flashcards were turned into student’s cards or small cards. I made a small version for endless activities.

Recycle old McDonald’s fries containers, add a label and sort the small cards.

Watch the video on how to play the game.

Or use the Monster that eats anything. I have used this Monster in several posts. I made it by gluing the printable onto a box and opened a slit for the mouth.

And let’s play scrabble!

 More writing using a printable Ipad image. I placed in plastic sheet, used whiteboard colored markers to erase easily. Students grab a small card and write the word or sentences.

Students can write sentences on their notebooks using the small cards.

Sort the cards into Music or Sports ability verbs using the worksheet.

Worksheets that are fun are a good addition to your resources. I made these where students cut verbs from magazines that relate to an ability. They might have to use a dictionary to make sure it is a verb. If there are not any English language magazine available have them write the verbs they know that relate to them. Then have a talk about me session showing their work.

Girl 1: I can create many things. I like reading. I love pancakes.

Boy 1: I can photograph birds. I can talk to my friends. I can party tonight.

Or have students ask and answer questions with CAN.

I had punched on white cardboard several circles and thought of gluing the small cards onto them to make a memory game.

Craft stick writing. I wrote the pronouns on yellow sticks, the word can on orange sticks, the verbs on green sticks, other words such as a, my on red sticks and nouns on blue sticks. Then have the students write the sentences on the worksheet.

It is hard to find books with the target language so I made this one with Mr. Big Nose. I have made more versions with him on other blog posts.

For those extra minutes take out a game. Print the board game on cardboard. The game pieces are children. I usually place a clip or binder so it can stand. I made the cards for the question the size of a puncher.

Here is a video on how to play.
