Clothes that Family Members Wear for ESL learners

LINK to the Family Unit complete reource: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Family-Flashcards-worksheets-and-more-for-Elementary-ESL-students-4841832

Place several of the family members flashcards on the board and ask questions.

Teacher: What is the cousin wearing?

Students: He’s wearing a cap, a t-shirt, shorts and shoes.

Teacher: What color is his cap?

Students: It’s blue and green.

Make a grid on the board and play GUESS WHO ? with the class. 

Students: Is he or she wearing pants?

Teacher: YES!

Students: Are the pants yellow?

Teacher: NO!

Students: Are the pants green?

Teacher: YES!

Students: Is it B2, the grandpa?

Teacher: YES! 

More activities with the flashcards for speaking purpose.

Teacher: Who are wearing a dress?

Students: Mother! Cousin! Sister! Aunt!

Teacher: Who is wearing shorts?

Students: Brother!

I made some labels to use with the flashcards. I made labels for the body parts and the clothing.

Clothes and family Bingo game. I don’t know how I came up with doing a Bingo game involving clothes and family. But it looks good.

There are more than 40 worksheets to give one to each student.

Have them label the family member and each clothing item. They can also color only the clothes. I think gluing the worksheet on the notebook will lead to more activities.

Then, grab your Bingo calling cards. The student that crosses out all the clothing items is the winner.

Take a look!

Since the worksheet is on the notebook, students can write a short text.

School unit flashcards for ESL students

I updated the school unit flashcards. I thought that adding more words and using nicer clipart would be a bonus for teachers. Many of you have bought it and now you will have both versions. If there are words that you would like me to add, let me know.

More than 250 flashcards for the classroom objects on this resource and just a few tips on how to use them in class. You can use my flashcards or the ones that come with your book series.Link:

It is available at this another store:

Use the flashcards to present the school objects vocabulary.

Check the flashcards:

Watch the video using the flashcards.

Flashcards 1. If your students are a little more advanced review there is and there are. Divide the board in two and write the phrases. I used pencil and books.

Teacher: There is a pencil. There are books.

Students can find more flashcards to make more examples.

Flashcards 2. I always find labeling fun. You can do one the board as an example. Label the body parts, clothes and school objects.(Labeling)

Teacher: name the body parts.

Students: mouth! Eyes! Leg!

Teacher: name the clothes.

Students: dress! shoe!

Teacher: name the school objects.

Students: lunch bag! backpack!

Then, assign red for body parts. Ask students to name all the body parts and you circle them. Do the same for clothes and school objects.

Students can do the same using the flashcards. I placed the flashcard into a plastic sheet to go on paperless. Have the students use a blue whiteboard marker for labeling the body parts.

Then, use a black whiteboard marker for labeling the clothes and the school objects.

Flashcards 3. Select a letter of the alphabet and have the students say all the words that start with the letter. As they name the word place the flashcard on the board. Then, have the students do the same on their notebooks with another letter. I chose letter P for this example.

Flashcards 4. Order alphabetically. Write the letters from A to Z on the board and the students find the flashcards to place under each letter.

Flashcards 5. Classroom Monsters. Give a flashcard on a plastic sheet to each student and have them create a monster. I did this one with scissors. I added hair, eyes, nose, mouth, shoes. I guess students are more creative than me, but it will work to show the students the task before they start their own. Students can show their work to the class.

Student: This is my scissors monster. It has black hair. Its eyes are blue and big. It is happy. She is wearing shoes.

Flashcards 6. Sorting the flashcards into categories. I wrote these categories on the board. Students find the flashcards for each category.

Flashcards 7. Name the flashcard. Make a grid on the board using the flashcards. I did this simple one as an example for you.

Teacher: C3!

Students: pencil case!

Flashcards 8. Related words! I placed the pencil case flashcard in the middle of the board. Have the students name all the things that a person can find in a pencil case. As they name the words, place the flashcard or write the word. This is like doing a mind map.

Flashcards 9. Use puzzles when working with the little ones.

St. Patrick’s Day for Elementary ESL

Link to the St. patrick's Day resource: 

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/St-Patricks-Day-for-Elementary-ESL-4428537

I have always liked this Holiday. In the 90’s I was teaching after school ESL and this is an old picture of what we did with the children.

Now, let’s start with the resources that I have prepared.

Puppets. Make puppets with the clovers to review colors.

Teacher: What color is this?

Students: red!

Teacher: It’s a red clover.

Worksheets. Have the students complete their worksheets to review color words.
Then place the worksheet in a clear plastic sheet. Students can trace the words using whiteboard markers and then erase. Save for future worksheets.

I made these colored plates once. I just colored a paper plate in a different color to do sorting. I am recycling them to sort the clovers.

I love the scrabble letters that I made for a product months ago. I am putting them here, you can use them for every single lesson just for making words or for making a crossword.

Or use the color letters printables to make the color words.

Use the writing pad or notebook for writing the color words.

The bottle caps printable is free. I made it years ago and have used it a lot. Here is the link. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Number-Bottle-Caps-2155938

More worksheets. Students color and trace the words in the worksheet. Then, cut and paste on their notebooks and write a sentence. 

Or the students can color and cut each item and glue them alphabetically.

Listen and color worksheet.

Teacher: Color their hats green, black and yellow.

Teacher: Color his shirt orange and her blouse orange.

Teacher: Color their shoes black.

Review colors and numbers at the same time. Say the color of the numbers in random order.

Teacher: Number seven is orange.

Then, have the students write the color and number words next to each picture.

They can cut each number and dictate the order to put them.

Teacher: six, ten, nine, seven.

I found these cute gnomes images and I had to create something and thought that it could fit for prepositions. Students can color them and make a gnome village per group. I used toilet paper rolls, paper towels rolls and carton eggs. I glued the gnomes onto craft sticks and then made a slit onto the carton egg and placed the gnomes and the rest of the pieces.

I used them for prepositions. Students listen and place the gnomes and other items as they listen or they can give the instructions and the other groups follow.

Teacher: The gnome is next to house number 1.

The gnome is behind house number 3.

The gnome is in front of house number 4.

The clover is behind the yellow house.

A craft. I grabbed a black plastic plate that I had around the house, cut the middle of the plate to make a wreath. I glued all the pieces.

Let’s dress the leprechaun. Dictate the color for each clothes piece.

That give directions for gluing them.

Teacher: Color the hat green and the belt is black with yellow.

Glue the socks on the leprechaun. 

More clothes and body.  Color the pictures and label the parts of the body and the clothing pieces.

And flashcards! Yes, again… use for many games for those dreaded 5 minutes left.
