House Unit Sentence association game. 

Students will associate each picture card to the corresponding sentence. The learners will develop a better understanding of the context of the people in the house.This game can be played in small groups to promote interpersonal and collaborative skills.

Descriptive Sentence Association Cards Activity

Students will display the picture cards and the sentences on both sides of a desk or floor. Then, they start connecting all the cards to their corresponding sentence as they will develop a better understanding of the people in the rooms of the house. The result comes with a better comprehension and improvement of the overall language skills.

Visual Writing with picture cards. 

Give the students the cards and have them write sentences for each one. They will write about what they see. Ask them questions about the picture to stimulate writing and their imagination. The colorful pictures are age -appropriate and relevant to the vocabulary plus grammar for the house unit. There is a clear representation of the family members and children in different rooms of the house.

Students can play matching the text that the classmates wrote to the pictures. And check  all 40 cards available: 

Descriptive sentences cards. 

These cards are great to practice writing clear and effective sentences that will enhance their communication skill. Display all the cards to aid students into writing a sentence. There are also blank cards to write any other word. Then, students will write their sentences and draw.

Rooms of the house Domino. 

The game will expose the students to the vocabulary as they match the pictures of a room scene, helping to expand the language learned.

Board games involve the use of spaces with pictures. 

Students will say a sentence or phrase in order to move in the board to make it even more meaningful: Brother is in the bathroom.

Pocket charts for the house unit. 

This works well for your visual learners. They are useful for organizing the sentences in a clear and structured manner. Students can then write the sentences on their notebooks.

Bingo to review the parts of the house: chimney, roof, door and window.

 Students choose one house, 1,2 or 3. Display the colors that are playing the game meaning that they can only color each part in those colors. Have the calling cards available.

 Start reading any house card and have the students mark if they it in their house: This house is number 1. It is a yellow house.  It has a green chimney, a blue roof, a pink window and an orange door.

In this case the student can mark the blue roof. They keep on marking their house. The student that marks all the parts or most of the them first, wins the game.
