Labeling worksheets are for your students to support writing.Students love to move on to worksheets with the cute family members. 

Some students just need a little help to develop writing in English. Here is a simple tracing worksheet. This one is with mother and father, and I included another worksheet with mom and dad. I can write any word that you are using in your teaching.

Playing Picture Bingo improves family members recognition and their facial features. They will have fun and lower their anxiety factor in class. Have the students color the hair in any of the playing colors by using the small cards included in the resource. Those will be your calling cards.

Teacher: Mother has brown hair! If the student has it, he/she will cross it out. The winner is the one to cross all the family members.

Adding adjectives to express the physical characteristics of the family members can be challenging for the newcomers. Practice using young and old and tall short to make more meaningful the way to talk about the people. This is a set of sorting worksheets. Students will cut any of the worksheets and paste where it corresponds. They can draw or bring pictures of their family members and sort accordingly.

Let’s go for a crossword fun to improve independent learning.

Engage students into writing the real names of their family members. Then, Let’s work on sentence construction to develop the linguistic competence. On a paper or notebook students can write sentences about their families as my example.

Promote active learning with this worksheet.

Students will complete the sentence and will be a prompt for extra writing.

Reading simple sentences and matching to the correct picture and write the corresponding name will model proper writing.

Another worksheet to use for reading short sentences as part of the the reading instruction routine.

Adding a little spice to the writing part, there two dice. One with long hair for women and another with short hair for men. Throw the dice, complete the sentences and color accordingly.

Students will draw their family and write a short description.Ask them questions about the drawing: Who's this? What's his/hername?

Use the designed questionnaires, there are three to choose from, such as “How many people are there in your family?" You can prepare a bar graph on the board. Challenge your students to compete in two teams to see who can collect the most survey responses within a given time limit. Give an award and count the answers.

I am including two old worksheets for this unit.
