Face unit and the Numbers 1 to 20

 This resource (Face Unit + Numbers 1–20 — Flashcards, Activities & Lesson Ideas for Elementary ELL) is also included here:   https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Numbers-120-and-Describing-Hair-ESL-Flashcards-Games-and-Worksheets-for-ELLs-13578003

Young Learners better retain language when words are used in context rather than isolation. Repetition is key for ELLs, and integrating numbers with the face unit allows for natural repetition of both sets of vocabulary through games and activities making your lessons more engaging.

The children with a number flashcards integrate Multiple Vocabulary Areas.  Students learn and review both numbers (1–20) and descriptive face vocabulary (e.g., curly, short, brown hair).

Face Speaking Practice with the flashcards.  It can promote sentence building: “The boy with 10 has short, curly, black hair.”

Sorting by hair color.  Describing people on the cards encourages oral production. Have the students sort the flashcards by hair color. Ready for starter / Beginner – kindergarten to grade 2.

Teacher: Who has blond hair?

Students: Number 8 and 15 have blond hair. 

Another sorting activity is according to the hair length: long or short.

Children see diverse appearances represented, which builds self-esteem and social-emotional learning. This time students can sort the hair into curly and straight, perfect for large class.

Students: Number 5 has straight hair. Number 13 has curly hair.

The small cards are the perfect size for hands-on activities, individual use, or small group games and mixed levels.  After printing, cut cards and store in labeled envelopes or zip bags.

The same sorting activities can be done in on their tables. They can write their own sorting criteria. Great for working on Classification, Counting, Data skills.

Just like this:

If you have the small cards from the resource, use them to sort by hair color.

Sentence Building Activities can be done as they sort the cards.

Students: Number 17 has long hair. Number 14 has short hair.

Worksheets help reinforce the numbers vocabulary, it can be matching the numeral to the word or just write the teen number words. 

The worksheets provide structured repetition, which is essential for language retention. This is a read and color practice. Focus: Listening or reading comprehension

ELLs gain confidence when they can complete tasks on their own, even simple ones. This is the face labeling review.

Worksheets engage students in reading and writing sentences.

Teachers can use worksheets to check understanding of vocabulary and concepts taught.

Students cut out the picture and glue them on the correct section of the sorting worksheets. There is also long and short.

Board games create a low-pressure environment for practicing English. Students use target vocabulary and sentence structures repeatedly while having fun: “This is number 15. She has long, straight blond hair.”
