Teaching possessive adjectives, pronouns, and nouns helps elementary ESL students describe ownership and relationships between people and objects. Using interactive activities and sentence-building tasks allows students to practice grammar in meaningful contexts.

Introduce Possessive Adjectives with Sentences

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.

Build Sentences with Cutouts

I also made some cutouts to make sentences.

Teacher: My favorite color is pink.

Students: Our favorite color is brown.

Game 1: Play sentence association.

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

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.

Match Subject Pronouns and Possessive Adjectives

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.

More Classroom-Ready Activities & Ideas to Teach Numbers 1–100 in ESL/EFL. This is Part 2 of our number series — giving you even more ways to help elementary English language learners (ELLs) practice numbers from 1 to 100 in meaningful ways. These activities build fluency, confidence, and number sense through games, speaking, listening, and interaction.

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.

Numbers 1 to 100 for ESL Learners

 Fun & Practical Activities to Teach English Numbers (1–100).  This is the link to this resource: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Numbers-1-to-100-for-ESL-Learners-4316217

Help your elementary English language learners (ELLs) master numbers from 1 to 100 with meaningful, enjoyable activities! This post shares classroom-ready ideas for teaching number vocabulary — ideal for ESL/EFL learners, newcomers, and young students with early English skills.

Why Numbers 1–100 Matter in ESL

Numbers are everywhere — schedules, prices, ages, dates, classroom routines, and games. Teaching numbers up to 100 helps students:

✔ Ask and answer How old are you?
✔ Tell the date and time
✔ Count objects
✔ Read number words
✔ Use numbers in real life

Introducing numbers with visuals, movement, and conversation helps students internalize language instead of memorizing lists.

Number Cards & Flashcards

Let’s start with the Number flashcards that I made with the words.  Use printed number cards to introduce vocabulary from 1–20, then extend to 100. Point to each card and say the number together.

Teacher Tip:
Ask students to identify missing numbers in a sequence: “What comes after 37?”

And flashcards without words. 

Number Line Practice. Create a large floor number line using tape. Students jump to the correct number you call — great for kinesthetic learners!

Questions to ask aloud: “Jump to 15.”,“Who can find 62?”,“Which number is next?”

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: I! green !

Place the people flashcards on the board. Ask questions.

Teacher: Who is number 46?

Students: Erick!

Teacher: Rick!

Students: 29!

Teacher: Is Mandy number 54 or 24?

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.
