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.

Using the cards in activities like sentence-building activities is engaging and fun for the students. They can write a sentence for each small card on a white board using colorful markers.

Learners that are ready can write even more complex sentences.

You can draw a picture of a birthday item and have the class guess what it is: It’s a candle! Students can play the game in pairs or small groups using the cards.

Listen!

The cards allow teachers to cater to different levels by adjusting the complexity of the tasks such as pair matching for beginners.
