 LINK to the Halloween resource: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/31-days-of-Halloween-for-Kindergarten-and-Elementary-ESL-6087756

Day 4. Halloween Numbers printable!!   Just the numbers 1 to 10 to do activities in class.

Print the Pumpkin Numbers template and have the students color the numbers as you dictate them. It’s numbers and colors review. They can even say the color for each number. Teacher: Color Number 1 red.

The students cut all the numbers and the games will start.

Students can make a number sequence on their desk. Then, ask questions about the color of each number.
Teacher: What color is number 2?
Students: Black!
Teacher: Number two is black.

Using magnetic numbers students can match one number to another.

I used the Bingo cards from the last resource to match the number representation.

Using the cards from the previous resource and placed a card under each number. Ask questions:
Teacher: Who is number 3?
Students: The Devil!
Students: Number 9!
Teacher: Witch!
Teacher: The Haunted House!
Students: Five!
 

I placed the number cutouts on recycled CDs. I cut yellow cardboard to cover the CD. Then, glued the number. It is easier to manipulate online or in class.

 

Use manipulatives to match the numbers to the amount each number respresents.

I am adding the numbers words for more activities.

                                             

I am sure you can think of more games and activities, leave me your idea below. Try a printable domino game for your warm up or wrap up.

Birthday Unit Worksheets- part 3

Almost done with the birthday unit. I had some worksheets from previous years and made extra ones. I added them them to the same product from the previous blog post about the Birthday Unit Vocabulary. 

LINK: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Birthday-Unit-for-ESL-5279726

It is also available here: https://www.bilingualmarketplace.com/products/birthday-unit-for-esl?variant=34616677793956

Worksheet 1. A simple worksheet to review a basic grammar point. Then, students cut the pictures and sentence and write more sentences on their notebooks.

Worksheet 2. This is a reading and coloring the picture worksheet.

I used a finger eye to read. I don’t remember where I got them. Watch the video.

Worksheet 3. Instead of color by number , it is a color by word. After the worksheet is done the children cut it up and have the student next to him/her glue the puzzle worksheet on the notebook.

Worksheet 4. This worksheet is useful for lower level students.

When the students have to do a matching word to picture I ask them to use a different color for each word.

For the numbered cupcakes, dictate  the color for each one.

Teacher:  Cupcake number one is red.

Worksheet 5. Dictate the color of each cake. When you do this it helps with listening.

Teacher:  Cake number one is purple.

Have the students color the number as you dictate.

Teacher:  Number one is blue.

Students cut and paste the numbers where they belong.

Once the worksheet is completed, make a mobile by hanging the cakes in the correct number sequence.

Worksheet 6. After the worksheet is colored, students can cut all the cakes and write a sentence describing each one on their notebooks.

Worksheet 7. Decorating a cupcake should be fun! Have the students add anything they want such as real sprinkles to decorate their personal cupcake.

Worksheet 8. I made two versions for this worksheet. It is an already colored worksheet that you can place into a clear plastic sheet and students can write using a dry erase marker.

                                   The other version is a normal worksheet.

Worksheet 9. Another read and color worksheet. Thinking that the cake can be turned into a puppet for reading.

Worksheet 10 and 11. I included easier to complete worksheets for the lower level students that you might have.

Worksheet 12. For more advanced students this worksheet is great. After the worksheet is done, cut it all and make a match game.

Worksheet 13. After the students complete the worksheets do a little listening as you dictate the colors of all the vocabulary words. 

Teacher: Color the lemonade yellow.

Have the students cut the sentences and pictures and glue on their notebooks as they match them.

Worksheet 14. The questionnaire. Have the students walk around asking questions to their classmates and completing the questionnaire. Students can write the results on their notebooks.

There will be another blog post with  more resources for the Birthday unit. Follow me!!

How old are you? Numbers 1 to 10 review

I am reediting the whole Birthday unit from 2015. And let's talk about age.

LINK: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/How-old-are-you-Birthday-Unit-5197521

Watch the video of the product:

The resource is also available here: https://www.bilingualmarketplace.com/products/birthday-unit-how-old-are-you-for-elementary-esl?variant=37622114222244

First, review the numbers 1 to 10 or more numbers depending on the grade level. The big flashcards are easy to play with. I also made a smaller size set of cards for smaller groups of students.

Place all the flashcards on the board. Each flashcard has a different color. Ask questions.

Teacher: What color is number five?

Students: purple!

Teacher: What number is brown?

Students: seven!

Bring 10 students to the front of the class. Hand in the number flashcards in order. Stand behind the student with the number three flashcard.

Teacher: What number is this?

Students: three

Teacher: What number is before 3? (stand behind flashcard number 2)

Students: two!

Teacher: What number is after 3? (stand behind flashcard number 2)

Students: four!

Make spelling fun using the bottle caps. The template is free. Link:

The numbers worksheet is for extra practice.

 Idea 1. Dictate a color for each number.

Teacher: Color number three purple!

After they are done coloring and cutting all the cards,play show me!

Teacher: Show me Number eight! What color is it?

Students: brown!

Idea 2. Have the students color each number as they wish but using all 10 colors. The students must have colored  the 10 numbers in each one of the 10 colors. Have them cut the numbers as cards before playing. Say a color and a number and the students who have them stand up or make a small group.

Teacher: red number 6! 

                                            Another worksheet!

When the worksheet is done, have the students cut all the questions and the number pictures and glue them on their notebook.

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.
