Playing with the small cards will have the students master the sense of progress. They can add as many cards with the zoo animals as they wish. These small cards serve as a visual aid. Easy to associate the zoo animal word to the picture.

Print and cut the cards that you will need. There are more than 50 animals to choose from.

Capture your learners' interest and motivation with this simply easy game. Cut the word out of each small card and have the student match the picture to the word. It would be fun to do in small groups helping ELLs remember the new vocabulary.

Sorting the zoo animals based on their characteristics. This exposure will build a more diverse and rich vocabulary use for your learners. The sorting will be into long/short legs, long/short arms, long/short tail, big/small ears,

Print the labels for the fries’ containers that you have previuusy gathered. Glue onto the containers and open them up for the activity.

Sorting activities are great for language practice, as students need to communicate their reasoning for why they sorted the zoo animals based on their physical characteristics.

 This promotes speaking and listening skills, as well as vocabulary usage when the students discuss where to put the small card. Here is an example of long tools and short tail.

 Students: The lion has a long tail. The rhino has a short tail.

Take a look:

Sorting activities can be easily adapted to meet the diverse needs of ELLs in the classroom. Pair students accordingly to have a fun and smooth game.

Student1: The gibbon has long arms.
Student 2: the racoon has small arms.

Provide clear instructions and model the sorting processes.
Teacher: The rhino has short legs!
The flamingo has long legs.

Sort the zoo animals with ears into big and small.

Finally, give feedback to your students about their sorting choices.

Here’s the sorting into long or short tails.
