School objects with facial features make such a creative way to combine two essential vocabulary sets. Students will build vocabulary while reinforcing key concepts through repetition. By blending two familiar topics—faces and school supplies—students encounter repeated vocabulary in new ways.

Giving school supplies faces makes the lesson more relatable. There is a set of flashcards for your students who have already seen the face unit or the school object unit separately, combining them serves as a natural review of both. Have the students label the parts of the face and draw the missing ones.

“Face the Object” Craft. Give the school object flashcards to a group of students. They will make posters. Students can add face parts with yarn, chenille, pompoms, etc. Then, label the parts of the face. Following a description for later on to present their creation to the class.

This fusion encourages creativity! Students can create their own “school supply friends,” describe them, write about them, using the small cards.

Mix & Match Puzzle Game with the small cards. Cut cards into two parts: school object & word.  Students match the correct pairs.

Have the students place the smaller cards (all in one page) in alphabetical order. Then, write them down on their notebooks.

Draw the Missing Face worksheets. There are several worksheets with school object with some face parts missing. Students can draw and color as they wish and write a text. Have them exchange their creation with a partner to read and give feedback.

Combine following instructions + vocabulary + grammar with this worksheet. Give instructions on how to color each part of the face for each school item, as students check the vocabulary. Then, students will answer the questions provided.

Personalising worksheets!

Print the simple board game with spaces featuring different school supplies.
