The small cards are easy to use anywhere in class, on the table, on the floor, outside on the playground. Plan small group activities or with a partner to encourage conversation and collaborative learning. The cards are flexible to suit the individual learning goals that you have planned.

Print your set of small cards and do a little spelling as your students will use them as a reference to write them down on any surface that you have available. I used these writing erasable strips and whiteboard markers. Suitable to practice the vocabulary of the parts of the house.

My example is just writing words, but students can write complete sentences.

Small cards can be used for repetition and review.

Using a white crayon, a group of students will write the rooms of the house words on a white cardboard in random order.  They will give that cardboard to another group, who will use finder paints to color over the words to discover the words. Then, they will match the small cards to each word.

These cards will aid in comprehension and memory retention. Make a house using the small cards and cardboard to use in class.

Students will actively engage with the material as you ask questions with Where?

Have the students place the family members where you say: Mother is in the bedroom!
Or ask questions: Where is mother?
Students: She is in the kitchen!
Is brother in the garden or the bathroom?
Students: in the garden!

It can also be a writing activity. Tailor the learning experience to your student’s needs.

Have your students place all the family members where they want and then they should write a text.

              Games promote effective communication between peers by playing with meaningful and engaging materials.

This is a 5-minute gap-filler for your lesson plan to develop linguistic competence.  It is a Listening wrap up activity Let’s call it Hair Dictation. Hand in a copy of the people cards for the students to color as you dictate to them.

Teacher: Look at Anna, she has short curly red hair. (Continue with the other people, students can also help out saying how people look for the classmates to color)

Print a number template that can be used over and over again. Students will cut the people that they just colored. Describe which person will be in which number.

Teacher: Number 6 is a person with short straight brown hair.

Students will complete placing each person on each number.

Here is a video to clear it up:

This activity can be used to supplement the content of your course book. It is focused on the reinforcement of the vocabulary to describe eye and hair. Print the descriptive sentences cards for a group of students and a worksheet for each student. Have them prepare specific detail sentences to write on the worksheets and draw on the person template. Let your students be creative and then share their work with peers. Stuents will develop strog grammar skills.

This game is wonderful to see if your students are understanding the adjectives to write the sentences. 

Take a look at the video on how to use the game:

Playing constitutes the heart of children’s learning, and it prepares them for life.

Playing with cards is also considered a teaching tool to improve concentration and develop fluency. These can be used as a memory game to match a facial feature to a word or a matching game to play on a table or the floor.

I used this font from Creativa Fabrica. Here is the link. I am an affliate.

A board game to review the new vocabulary in a fun way to increase socialization at the same time. Print one template for every 3 or 4 students. I made the markers by opening a clip and adding a sticker. There are 4 sets of colored cards. When a student lands on a colored space, he/she grabs that colored card and answers that question in order to move. For example. I landed on a blue space, I grab a blue card and read the question: What color is his hair? I answer: blond.

Games promote a sense of achievement.

Writing with these colorful letters. Use the pictures from the game below as a guide for writing the words. Children will work alone doing this to gain self-develpment.

Or use a worksheet as a guide on how to write the words,

Use this printable as a file folder game. Students will match the phrase to the picture.

You can also do it as a cup game. Check the blog post where I have a similar game for Kindergarten. I glued the label to plastic cups and started the matching activity in a different fun way.

Here is the video:

Wrap it up with a Pocket Chart Activity. Buy or make this versatile tool to enhance the learning experience of the new language as students make sentences interacting with their peers.  Students will make sentence to review the adjective word order.

Lovely comments on the resource. 

You can print the face unit small cards onto cardboard to play games and activities. Use them to consolidate new vocabulary. Students will be motivated to engage in the language to say hair and eye color.

Use the face unit cards for Sorting activities. Learners will sort the cards into categories/group. Have them explain their reasoning, for example, this sorting is by hair color. 

Students can sort the face unit cards by the hair length. Use the pictures in the cards to appeal to your students. Expand the theme focusing on the grammar and vocabulary learned.

Ask questions: Who has long blond hair?
Students: Amelia!

Reinforcing the adjectives is an essential part of grammar development.

Connect the hair texture to sort the cards: curly or straight?

Students can practice essential questions using the cards. Hand them in a dry erase board and colorful markers.

 They can write questions and them another student or group of students answer.

Students can also write short texts to each card.

Once students know how to play tic tac toe , they can do it alone in groups of two or more.

Next part will be the Face Unit Worksheets.

Numbers 1 to 20 Small Cards for Elementary ESL

   This resource is part of the Numbers Unit 1 to 20 for Elementary English Language Learnes-Starters. Right here:   https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Numbers-1-to-20-for-Elementary-EFL-3640162

Students will feel a sense of progress and achievement as they move from learning the numbers 1 to 10 to the following set.

Numbers Small Cards to develop mathematical competence.

The small cards will aid to improve your students’ speaking and listening ability, it helps the very shy students.  These small cards will also motivate your students to participate in class. Include them in your lesson plan with some of the activities that you can find here. The small are great for your students but they are good for you, too.

Slap the Number card.

Have your students place all the Number small cards on a table. One student will be a caller of the number and the rest will slap the card. The first student to slap the correct card will win that card. You can also fold the word part of the card or simply cut it. Students will have fun as they use the new vocabualry to express their ideas.

TIC TAC TOE.

I got encouraged to create a game that students could use over and over again. Print the x and o, along the title of the game. Glue onto a cardboard and draw the lines as in a 3x3 grid. Place the small cards with or without the captions. Play by teams or by pairs. When a student says a correct number, it will be replaced by a x or o. Keep on playing until a team or students makes a tic-tac-toe.

Another activity is Pass the CD envelope. I am sure that you might old CD case. I love that they are easy to load the small cards into and fun to take out. Place random small cards into the CDs envelopes. Play some music, the one that students love in English. Students start passing the envelope between them with the numbers face down. Stop the music and the students with the envelope have to take out a number card and say the word. If it is correct, that student makes a point for themselves. Continue until the envelopes are empty.

If your students are very young, a little counting will be fun. I recycled some fun foam pieces that I had around the house and glued them onto cardboard cards that I cut as the same size as the small cards. Students can do some number correspondence or matching with the cards. They can also play memory.

Next part will be the Numbers 1 to 20 worksheets.
