Seasons and verbs for ESL

In many books it is under the label of Seasonal Activities. This is the last blog post related to the Seasons Unit. I have posted Seasons and Months, Seasons and Weather, Seasons and Clothes, Seasons and Nature. Just continue scrolling the blog posts to check them out! Everything is under one product:
https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Seasons-Theme-Resources-for-Elementary-ESL-1744981

It is also available here:https://www.bilingualmarketplace.com/products/seasons-unit-for-elementary-esl?variant=37168505684132

 There are many verbs related to each Season. First, here are the flashcards.

Sort the Flashcards into Seasons on the blackboard.

Teacher: What season is this?

Students: It is Winter.

Teacher: What is he doing?

Students: He is building a snowman.

Place each Season Flashcard on the blackboard. Have the students look into all the flashcards and find the Activities(Verbs) that can be done in each Season.

Teacher: What season is this?

Students: It is Fall.

Teacher: What do we do in the Fall?

Students: Play with the leaves, sit on the pumpkins, rake the leaves, and walk.

                                    Do the same with the other Seasons.

You can use many Verb Tenses with the flashcards. Start with CAN. Use the flashcards to model questions and sentences on the board.

                                        Or model Present Continuous.

                 Or you can introduce the simple past tense questions.

                                     Maybe you can review the future.

As in all the Seasons Units, there is a Sorting Worksheet.

And just two worksheets.

Students complete the worksheet. Then have them cut each picture and glue next to the sentences on their notebooks.

The other worksheet will be used as a BINGO template as well. Using either the colored flashcards placed on the board or the small cards used for the sorting, students write the activities that can be done and the ones that can’t be done in each Season, completing the worksheet in an allotted amount of time, maybe 5 minutes. Some students will have more verbs than others, but that is the idea. Then, announce the BINGO! Use the colored flashcards to call the Verbs. The students will cross out the verb word if they have it written down. The winner is the first one to cross out all the words.

Watch the video of the complete resource:

Activity 1. Where are they? What are they doing? NY and Paris

Place the New York City and Paris flashcards on the board. Have them relate to the cities and ask questions.

Teacher: Where are they?                                       

Students: They are in New York City.

Teacher: What are they doing?

Students: They are dancing in New York City.

Continue with all the cards and write the verb under each flashcard.

Then, there is a worksheet for each city.

I had the students relate a picture to a sentence and write the corresponding number, but using a different color for each sentence and picture.

Then, I had students cut each sentence and paste it next to each picture.

Activity 2. Review these flashcards about what people are doing at the airport.

After the worksheet is done, students can cut each picture and sentence, glue on their notebooks and write more sentences to describe the picture.

More worksheets.

Activity 3. Cutouts. Use the cutouts for speaking.

Teacher: I am eating an apple.

Students: You are eating an apple.

Students model and say sentences using the other cutouts.

or use the flashcards for helping the students make complete sentences with words that I am sure they already know.

Here is the complete list of words.

Activity 4. Community Helper Sentence Association. This game was always a favorite between my students. There 54 cards and sentences

.Students match a picture card to a sentence slip.

Use the pocket chart to match the sentences or students can match the cards on their notebooks.

Activity 5. Spelling with flashcards. Place your flashcards on the board. Write your spelling rules and have the students use the flashcards to find more examples for each rule.

Have the students cut a picture of a person doing something and letters to form the verb and its Present Continuous spelling.
