Fruit and Veggies Prepositions for Elementary ELLs.

 This resource is included in The Fruit and Vegetables level 1 for Elementary ELLS. LINK: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fruit-and-Vegetables-level-1-for-Elementary-ELLS-12275711

This resource provides a clear and engaging visual aid to help young English language learners grasp spatial concepts. It also supports multiple learning styles—students can listen, observe, manipulate cutouts, and even act out prepositions, making learning more interactive and memorable. Additionally, it encourages sentence-building and oral language development, reinforcing both vocabulary and grammar in a fun and meaningful way.

Lay out the Prepositions flashcards and have students write sentences that describe the apple’s location.

Say a preposition sentence (e.g., "The apple is next to the tree"), and students find and point to the correct flashcard.

Practice the positional words by printing the small cards provided and place them on the pocket charts and ask the question: Where is the apple?

Students: It’s in front of the tree.

The worksheets allow students to apply what they’ve learned at their own pace, building confidence in using prepositions.

Use this worksheet as a Pictionary to reference at any time. Students can cut the cards and write a sentence for each one.

Print and assemble the die. Have the students color the card as they throw the die and see where it landed.

Give students the printable tree and apples and have them place the apple in the position that matches the die. Then, they can draw that apple on the worksheet and if possible, write sentences on their notebooks.

Have students match puzzle pieces with images of the apple’s location and corresponding preposition words to form correct sentences. Helps students make direct connections between images and words.

Students can cut and glue pieces onto a poster board to reinforce learning and decorate the classroom.

Students roll a die, move their piece on the board game, and describe the apple’s position based on the spot they land on. Helps students practice forming complete sentences in a natural setting.

Transportation Flashcards for Elementary ELL

 This resource is included in the Transportation unit for Elementary ESL at this link: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Transportation-Unit-for-Elementary-ESL-4049752

The resource helps students learn essential transportation-related words to improve their vocabulary. These flashcards provide clear, visual representations of transportation vocabulary, aiding comprehension and retention.

The flashcards can be used in vocabulary drills such as description of the vehicles: The train is red.

Flashcards encourage students to answer questions about the different types of transportation.

Teacher: Are there two cars?
Students: Yes, there are.

Flashcards work for counting.

Make your lessons more dynamic and fun, incorporating the sorting  the flashcards by land, sea, air activity.

Use any flashcards for small group or whole-class activities. Model an example using the demonstratives: this and that, these and those. Example: This is a boat and that is a ship.

Hand in several flashcards to the stduents and have them say their sentences.

Practice the grammar structure: “I like [transportation], but I don’t like [transportation].” to reinforce transportation vocabulary. Emphasize the” final s” to the nouns.

Teach and practice adjectives related to the vehicles (e.g., long, short, cheap, expensive, fast, slow, new, old, big, small).

Review the adjective words using your arms and hands. Stretch your arms for long and hold your hands closer for short. Practice by doing another sorting on the board, having the students select the corresponding flashcards for each adjective.

Equal Comparison (as…as)

Introduce the comparatives of adjectives (faster, slower, bigger, smaller). Teach the Spelling Rule: Add -er to the adjective: fast → faster

Practice the superlatives of the adjectives (the fastest, the slowest, the biggest, the smallest). Ask students to make sentences with other flashcards.

Students can physically move flashcards around to demonstrate prepositions.

Give students instructions: “The van is next to the bus.”

Ask where people are in the vehicles using the corresponding preposition.

Have students use the word “ by “ to describe how to go to different places.

The flashcards can be adapted for different verb tenses and structures.

Tell the students that we use these three main verbs for the vehicles. Place them on the board and create a mind map.

Teacher: I can drive a car.
Students: I can fly a plane.

Have students take turns making sentences answering with the present continuous.

Prepositions and the School Unit for Elementary ELL

 This resource is found at this link at the TPT store: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/School-Theme-for-Elementary-ESL-1707072

This resource uses a crayon and a crayon box. It aligns with the  school supplies, or classroom objects, making it a versatile tool for reinforcing learning throughout the school year. All to prepare a model lesson plan for your english class.

Introduce prepositions using the flashcards and writing the sentences on the board: The crayon is on the crayon box.

Use the opportunity to write questions on the board and have the students ask more questions for the class to answer: Where is the crayon?

Flashcards offer clear visual cues, which helps students grasp the meaning of prepositions more easily. Cut the word out of each flashcard and have the students match to the image.

Small cards give students flexibility to create a variety of sentences, encouraging creativity. They will write a text that you give a prompt or they show their creativity.

Students must carefully listen and follow instructions: Put the blue crayon on the crayon box. I suggest that you have the cutouts ready. I glued the crayon box onto a toilet paper roll.

Visual and kinesthetic learners can see and manipulate the crayons in various positions relative to the box, reinforcing spatial concepts through movement and observation. Students can also make their sentences for the classmates to recreate.

Teacher: The crayon is under the crayon box.

As students work with the resource, they’ll also reinforce color vocabulary, by printing the worksheets.

Rolling the die adds a game-like element to color the preposition images on the worksheet, motivating students to actively participate. The die and worksheet can be used for solo practice or in pairs.

More worksheets to complete the practice section of your lesson plan.

The matching mat allows students to link visual cues with written prepositions, reinforcing vocabulary.

Have the puzzle ready to give students a hands-on way to construct sentences, helping them understand prepositions.
