Let’s start with the Number flashcards that I made with the words. 

And flashcards without words.

Use the fly swatter to play with the flashcards. or do this Speaking activity. Hand in a number flashcard to each student. At your signal have them order themselves. Then, have them take a step and say their number on the flashcard.

Student: I am number 85.

Counting Numbers by 10s. Place all the flashcards on the board. Say all the numbers and have the students notice what is common to almost all the numbers. TY-ending. Say a number and have a student come up front and touch the number and say the word.

Teacher: sixty, eighty, twenty!

Have the students write the numbers on their notebooks as they see on board.

Dictate numbers: 60, 40, 20, 50, 90, 10, 20,70, 100

Have the students learn about equations. Place the number 80 flashcard on the board, the add symbol, then number 10 flashcard and the equal symbol and the ninety flashcard. Read the equation. Make more examples for the students to read. They can also make more examples on their notebooks.


Place the following pair of flashcards on the board. Point to each pair and stress the difference between each.

Teacher: four-teen and for-ty

Say the teen number and the students the 10s number.

Teacher: sixteen!

Students: sixty!

Numbers and prepositions. Place 9 random flashcards on the board and ask questions.

Teacher: What number is on 10?

Students: 78

Teacher: What number is under 10?

Students: 63

Teacher: What numbers are next to 10?

Students: 26 and 32

The students can play the same game with their small cards.

100s chart with Number, Colors and Letters flashcards. I saw a similar idea on an old book and thought I could make one that can be used in the classroom and a small version for students to play in small groups. Place all the colors flashcards horizontally and the letters cards vertically and fill in with the numbers flashcards.

Teacher: F ! blue!

Students: 57!

Teacher: 88!

Students: I! green !

Place the people flashcards on the board. Ask questions.

Teacher: Who is number 46?

Students: Erick!

Teacher: Rick!

Students: 29!

Teacher: Is Mandy number 54 or 24?

Students: She is number 54.

Review There is structure. Place all the crayons flashcards on the board in random order.

Teacher: There is a yellow crayon! What number is it?

Students: It is number 24.

Have a volunteer student model the sentences and the class will answer.

Next blog post will be with games and worksheets to complete the resource.

Insects Unit for Elementary ESL- part 2.

This is part 2 for the Insect unit. Here is the link to the product.

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Bugs-or-Insects-Unit-Resources-for-Elementary-ESL-4136295

The resource is also available here:   https://www.bilingualmarketplace.com/products/bugs-unit-for-elementary-esl?variant=13633060667441

                                    

How many bugs are there? I made some cutouts to be used as a diorama or permanent exhibit for speaking opportunities. I placed a clip behind each animal to make a diorama on a desk.

Teacher: Look ! a bee hive! How many bees are there in front of the bee hive ?

Student: There are four!

Teacher: How many bees are there behind the bee hive ?

Student: There are three!

Teacher: How many bees are there in the bee hive ?

Student: There are seven!

Or use the cutouts on the board.

Teacher: What are they?

Student: They are spiders.

Teacher: What color are the spiders?

Student: They are brown spiders.

Teacher: How many spiders are there on the spider web?

Student: There are five blue spiders! There are five brown spiders!

Or students can make their own posters and write their paragraphs!

I made these small cards for several games. Review prepositions with the students. Students listen to the directions and place them where they belong.

Teacher: There is an ant on the chair. There is a bee under the chair. There is a spider behind the chair. There is a ladybug in front of the chair.

 Review colors. If you have dictated the colors.

Teacher: What color is the worm?

Students: It is purple!

If they colored as they wished the bugs. Have them make groups of the same color bug.

Teacher: Who has blue butterfly? Stand up and make a group.

Continue with all the cards and count how many students are in the same color bug group.

I had this book from my kids. You can read the book and then use the flannel board to retell the story using the cutouts in the product. I made mine out of floor cloth for mopping. I added Velcro to all the pieces, it stays on the flannel board and does not come down. It is easy to take off and relocate. If you want the story to retell it, request it: ei98srl@gmail.com

Watch the videos!

Math vocabulary has to be introduced in all units to increase language production in this area. Use the cards to play games. Give a group of students the butterflies, another the number words and the next group the number cards. At your signal have them walk around and find the match of the three cards. The first three students to do so calls stop! And hands in the cards to you. Place them on the board.

Christmas Resources for ESL/EFL/ELL

All the files to the Christmas resource for Elementary English langauge Learners: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Christmas-Resources-for-Elementary-ESLEFLELL-3482217

A board game fun. There is a board in colored version and black and white o adjust to your needs. All the game markers are colored. And two worksheets to complete the game.

                 Start by presenting the board. You can use the color version or the black/white. If you choose the last option, dictate the colors of Christmas items.

 Have the students name all the vocabulary words they know or show them the flashcards.

Have the game pieces ready with the clip on the back so they can stand.These are the characters available.

Have the students chose his/her character. Show the flashcards if the students are not familiar with them.

Teacher: Who do want to be?

Student 1: ELF. I want to be the ELF.

Introduce the worksheet you will be using. The students will color or draw the item of the board where they land after throwing the dice. They can do this individually or in pairs. The game ends when a student is the first one to color all the worksheet.

Looking through my clip art files I found these cute presents. I thought of making a coloring book, to review color and numbers 1 to 20. Students have to read in order to color correctly.

I made mine and put a book ring instead of binding it.

For reviewing all the numbers I made big cutouts of the presents. You can use them on the board. I also included the number and the word.

Students can also play matching all the words, numbers and presents on the floor.

What is Christmas without the Nativity Scene? I found this lovely clip art. Start with Flashcards to introduce the people of the Nativity Scene.

Teacher: Who is this?

Students: She is Mary.

I cut a flap of an old box and glued the stable cutout. I left it very rustic but you can decorate to make it prettier. You can also dictate the clothes of each person. 

Teacher: Look at Joseph! His tunic is blue.

Teacher: What color is Mary's tunic?

Student: It is pink.

I printed all the people onto skin colored cardboard and colored their clothes.  But you can print it onto white cardboard as well. Students can be assigned a person and color as desired. To make them stand I placed a clip that I opened.

Or use a plastic plate or paper plate to make a Nativity Scene to hang in class. I cut a hole in the midlle to make the chracters stand out.

Have the students in groups make their own Nativity Scene.

I also included a pocket chart to review all the people in the Scene.

Here is how mine turned out.

There are some bookmarks to color to add to this Christmas Collection. Free! Just by request. Email: ei98srl@gmail.com

Wacth the  video of the complete resource:

Clothes Flashcards!

How many?  Give each group of student clothes small flashcards in different colors and have them sort all the pieces.

Teacher: How many dresses ?

Students: six. Six dresses.

Then ask them to sort the clothes by color.

Teacher: How many red ?

Students: four.

Teacher: Which color has more clothes ?

Students: green and blue.

Teacher: Which color has less clothes ?

Students: white and black.

Then ask them to make patterns.

Teacher: green shoe, brown shoe, green sock, brown sock.

Teacher: red cap, red dress, pink cap, pink dress.

Alphabet. Review the alphabet by having the students say the starting letter for each clothing item.

Teacher: letter  B!

Students: B is for blouse. B is for boots.

Continue with all the other letters. Students can write all the letters and make a chart as in the example.

Sort by season. Talk to the students that there´s appropriate clothes for each weather.  Have them sort all the cutouts. Then, write each season and all the clothes that are worn on each one.

Sort by family members.  Also have the students tell you the clothes that each family member wears. Also discuss which can be used by the same family members, make a Venn Diagram.

Teacher: Look at the dress.  Whose dress  is it ?

Students: It´s Mommy´s dress.

                                    Sort by gender.

Sort by Singular and Plural. It is and They are.

Teacher: What are these?

Students: They are pants!

Teacher: What color are the pants?

Students: They are blue.

What is he/she wearing ? I created 640 flashcards to use for this theme.

Show a flashcard and start asking questions:

Teacher: What is this ?

Students: A dress.

Teacher: What color is the dress ?

Students: green.

Teacher: She is wearing a green dress.

Continue with the rest of the clothes.

Ask more questions:

Teacher: Is she wearing pants?

Students: No, she isn´t.

Teacher: Is wearing brown sandals?

Students: Yes, she is.

Hand in flashcards to all the students and have them write a text relate to what the person is wearing.

He is wearing a black jacket, a red and blue t-shirt, blue jeans, brown belt and brown shoes.

Hand in another flashcard and have the students write questions that can be answer in a yes or no form.

Is she wearing a blouse ?

Is she wearing a pink dress ?

Are her shoes purple ?

Is she wearing a hat or a scarf on her head ?

Describing clothes using adjectives. Draw a t-shirt on the board. Draw some stripes with colored chalk or markers. Then write stripped. Continue with dots, floral, zebra, leopard, army, plaid and many more. Use the clothes flashcards to show the printed clothes. Ask questions.

Teacher: What pattern does his pants have ?

Students: His pants are camouflage.

Sort the flashcards using adjectives. Here are some examples.

    Hand in two flashcards to each student. Have them stand up as you ask questions.

Teacher: Who has a dress ?  ( all the students that have a flashcard with a dress will stand up.)

Teacher: Who has a pink dress ?  ( all the students that have a flashcard with a pink dress will continue standing up and the others will sit down.)

Display several flashcards on the board. Give them an allotted time to write sentences related to each one.  Ask a student to read their sentences, all the other students that have the exact same one, should tick the sentence. Ask more students to read their sentences. The student with more sentences ticked is the winner.

Use the flashcards to label the clothes. You can place them in a cover sheet and have the students use white board markers, or place them on the board and have the students label them.

I have a fashion catalog for free at my  store:

 https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Clothes-Theme-Fashion-Catalog-589177

But I made a new and better version. It´s just a cut and paste from magazines and students can be able to write a short description for each.

And prepositions are always used related to clothes. I got four furniture clip art and several clothes cutouts.

Teacher: Who´s this ?

Students: It´s Daddy.

Teacher: This is Daddy´s closet. Look what is in Daddy´s closet.

Students: pants, sweater and a belt.

Teacher: There are pants, a sweater and a belt in Daddy´s closet.
