Teaching verbs with seasons vocabulary helps elementary ESL students describe actions and activities in different times of the year. Using visual materials and interactive activities allows students to connect grammar with real-life situations.

 There are many verbs related to each Season. First, here are the flashcards.

Sort Verbs by Season

Sort the Flashcards into Seasons on the blackboard.

Teacher: What season is this?

Students: It is Winter.

Teacher: What is he doing?

Students: He is building a snowman.

Ask and Answer Questions

Place each Season Flashcard on the blackboard. Have the students look into all the flashcards and find the Activities(Verbs) that can be done in each Season.

Teacher: What season is this?

Students: It is Fall.

Teacher: What do we do in the Fall?

Students: Play with the leaves, sit on the pumpkins, rake the leaves, and walk.

  Do the same with the other Seasons.

Practice CAN for Seasonal Activities

You can use many Verb Tenses with the flashcards. Start with CAN. Use the flashcards to model questions and sentences on the board.

   Or model Present Continuous.

                 Or you can introduce the simple past tense questions.

                                     

Maybe you can review the future.

Complete Worksheets

As in all the Seasons Units, there is a Sorting Worksheet.

And just two worksheets.

Students complete the worksheet. Then have them cut each picture and glue next to the sentences on their notebooks.

The other worksheet will be used as a BINGO template as well. Using either the colored flashcards placed on the board or the small cards used for the sorting, students write the activities that can be done and the ones that can’t be done in each Season, completing the worksheet in an allotted amount of time, maybe 5 minutes. Some students will have more verbs than others, but that is the idea. Then, announce the BINGO! Use the colored flashcards to call the Verbs. The students will cross out the verb word if they have it written down. The winner is the first one to cross out all the words.

Teaching clothes together with seasons helps students understand when to use vocabulary. It connects language to real-life situations and improves comprehension. Go to the blog post:    https://eflelementaryresources.blogspot.com/2020/03/seasons-and-clothes.html
