                 I added a board game. I printed it on a letter size paper. 

                                           Watch the video.

All the town items are in a road circuit. This game will not need a die. Each student will pick a transportation marker, which I taped an opened clip behind the card. The first student picks a card from the pile and reads the questions. Then, moves the transportation marker to the town place and puts the card on it. If the student knows the answer can place the card, if not, that student can’t place the card. The winner is the student that places the most cards on the road. Watch the video:

                                         

 A teacher that bought this product said that the cards were too small. I appreciate when teachers say something to improve. I made the cards a little bigger and they work well for sorting.  The cards can be used for distance teaching by placing a craft stick behind each one and turned into flashcards. The actual flashcards that come in the product are classroom size.

It can be sorted on a table or use the pocket chart. Have the students make sentences.

Teacher: The zoo keepers are at the zoo. They have a jeep.

Just 4 Worksheets for sorting the town places, the community helpers or jobs and transportation. 

First, have the students color the worksheets as you dictate each one, or even better have the students dictate how to color each one. Then, students write the word for each item in all the worksheets.

Teacher: The post office is purple.

Have the students cut all the cards from the worksheets. There are many things that you can do with them. I just thought of sorting.

Students can write sentences on their notebooks.

                                  Let’s start with Flashcards.

                           Introduce Grammar points.

Tracer book: It helps extend the vocabulary. There is a black and white version for the students to color and create their own book to take home.

When the students finish tracing the sentences on their books, start reading. Assign a color to identify each sight word.

Teacher: Circle the word “it” red.

Teacher: Circle the word “is” blue.

Teacher: Circle the word “a” yellow.

Help the students assemble the book. I made this one by punching a hole on the side and connected using a metal ring. Read again using a straw as a pointer, have them look for specific words.

Teacher: Look for the word “Spring”. Use your pointer. 

                   A set of matching words and pictures cards.

Students in groups can match each picture to each word.

Another game: Have the students place all the cards face up on the table. Say a word and have them find the word and the picture.

Teacher: Find “sun”.

Students: sun!  Student shows the picture and the word.

Paper plates are great for sorting the vocabulary words into seasons. Write each Season word on each paper plate.

I found this game and gave it a try. Let me know if you liked it.

There is a sunscreen lotion clipart to make a card holder. You can use it to play a guessing game by slowly taking a card out and having the children guess what it is.

Spelling BINGO! Spelling is related to the students’ reading and writing abilities. Give students the template and ask them to write 6 of all the words of their choice. You can use the matching cards as calling cards. Students cross out the words called out. The winner is the first one to cross the 6 words.

Some worksheets for extra practice.
