Family adjectives and body parts for ESL


Watch the video of the complete resource:


Adjectives can be used for describing the family members, but let’s start with young and old. Contrast the youngest and the oldest of this family, the babies and the grandparents.
Teacher: Who is she ?
Students: The baby !
Teacher: She is young!
Teacher: Who is she ?
Students: Grandma !
Teacher: She is old!

Sort the flashcards as young or old.
Adjectives describing the family membersTeacher: Point to the brother. Is he young or old?
Students: Young ! He is young.
Teacher: Who is the oldest?
Students: Grandpa is the oldest.
Teacher: Who is the youngest?
Students: The baby is the youngest.
Teacher: Who is the older, Mother or sister?
Students: Mother is the older.
Teacher: Who is the younger, father or brother?
Students: Brother is younger.

More adjectives  for family members can be introduced related to the hair, such as long-short, curly-straight, and color. State that for describing hair it is length, style and color. Play as a game by drawing a grid on the board and placing the flashcards in random order.
adjectives  for family members

First ask questions.
Teacher: Look at A3! Who is she?
Students: Grandma!
Teacher: What color is her hair?
Students: gray.
Teacher: Is her hair long or short?
Students: short.
Teacher:  Grandma has short gray hair.

Then, say a letter and number combination and have students say the adjectives.
Teacher: B2!
Students: Cousin! Short straight black hair.
Or try the opposite.
Teacher: short straight and blond hair
Students: C2!
Then, do the male hair which is easier.

Sort the family members in tall and short.

Students: Father! Mother! Grandma! Grandpa! Uncle! Aunt!

Have the students order the family members from the tallest to the shortest.
Ask questions.

Students: father!
Teacher: Who is the shortest?
Students: the baby brother!
Teacher: Who is taller, the brother or the sister?
Students: the brother!
Teacher: Who is shorter, mother or grandma?

Looking at all the flashcards together. I thought of reviewing this and these would be good. Model sentences.
Teacher: This is the sister.
Students: This is the uncle.
Teacher: These are the grandmas.
Students: These are the cousins.



Review body parts using the flashcards and worksheets.

Here is a set of worksheets to review the facial features of the family members suing adjectives. They can be used to complete as you dictate, the students can complete and then present to the class as a speaking opportunity.

Make the students use the adjectives big or small to complete the family member’s faces.
Teacher: Sister has small green eyes, a big nose, a small mouth and big ears. Her hair is short curly and blond.
More Worksheets to review adjectives for describing hair.

Play Guess WHO ? game. Give the template to a pair of students. Have them color the hair and/or eyes. Student 1 will ask the questions and student 2 will pick a family member to be guessed.
Student1: Does the person have brown hair?
Student 2: Yes!
 Student1: Does the person have straight hair?
Student 2: NO!
Student1: Does the person have curly hair?
Student 2: Yes!
Student1: Does the person have short or long hair?
Student 2: long!
Student1: Is it the aunt?
Student 2: Yes!

Play BINGO! I made a Bingo worksheet. Have the students color in any way they want, that will be the Bingo sheet. The Bingo cards are for you, color them like mine. Place them in a bag and start calling bingo.
Teacher: Sister has blond hair.
The students that have the sister with blond hair can cross her hair out.
The winner is the one that crosses out all the hair and eyes from these three family members.

Follow me! There is more for the family unit.
