Town, Community Helper and Transportation for ESL Part 2

                          This is the blog post for part 1.
Here is the link to the complete product:


                 I added a board game. I printed it on a letter size paper. 

                                           Watch the video.
All the town items are in a road circuit. This game will not need a die. Each student will pick a transportation marker, which I taped an opened clip behind the card. The first student picks a card from the pile and reads the questions. Then, moves the transportation marker to the town place and puts the card on it. If the student knows the answer can place the card, if not, that student can’t place the card. The winner is the student that places the most cards on the road. Watch the video:
                                         
 A teacher that bought this product said that the cards were too small. I appreciate when teachers say something to improve. I made the cards a little bigger and they work well for sorting.  The cards can be used for distance teaching by placing a craft stick behind each one and turned into flashcards. The actual flashcards that come in the product are classroom size.
It can be sorted on a table or use the pocket chart. Have the students make sentences.
Teacher: The zoo keepers are at the zoo. They have a jeep.
Just 4 Worksheets for sorting the town places, the community helpers or jobs and transportation. 

First, have the students color the worksheets as you dictate each one, or even better have the students dictate how to color each one. Then, students write the word for each item in all the worksheets.
Teacher: The post office is purple.
Have the students cut all the cards from the worksheets. There are many things that you can do with them. I just thought of sorting.
Students can write sentences on their notebooks.

Transportation Theme for Elementary ESL

Link to all the resources for the Transportation Unit:


Sort the  55 flashcards by land, sea, sky.

Transportation and adjectives: big, small, long, short, old, new, cheap, expensive. Review the adjective words using your arms and hands. Stretch your arms for long and hold your hands closer for short.
Write the opposite words on the board. Hand in all the flashcards and have them place the vehicle where it belongs. Students must identify the vehicle, the size, length, old or new and price.
Student: This is a school bus. It is big and long.


There is a worksheet to review the adjectives. Have the students listen to the instructions and color the cars.
Teacher: Point to the small car. Color it blue. Continue in the same manner. When the students have finished, have them place the adjectives that identify each vehicle.(LABELING)


Or have the students paste a vehicle on a sheet of paper and write adjectives to describe it.

Explain that you use the preposition by to express ways to travel.
Teacher: I am going to the library.
Students: How are you going?
Teacher: By subway.
Continue asking and answering questions. Have the students write sentences.
I am going to the island by ship.


Place the number flashcards around the room. Tell the students that each number is a garage or parking place for some vehicles.
Hand in the flashcards and give instructions.
Teacher: bus, go to garage number seven.

Transportation and verbs.
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 ride an elephant.
Students: I can ride a bike.
I can ride a motorcycle.

Give more examples using drive and fly using all the flashcards.

A worksheet to wrap this up.
Have the students sort the pictures into ride, drive and fly. Then using the bubbles provided, the students write sentences. ( I can drive a blue car.)


There are more flashcards to review “ How do you get to work ?” “ How do you get to school ?”

Community Helpers drive vehicles.
Have the students sort the flashcards in drive, ride or fly.
Model a sentence.  Teacher: The fire fighter drives a fire truck.
Students make more sentences.


And worksheets for writing. Students write in the bubbles sentences such as: I am driving a school bus.


 I made several worksheets for different skills. 


Listening. Students color as indicated by the teacher.
 Teacher: It is a pink blimp.
Speaking. Students point and say a sentence.
Student: It is a yellow submarine.
Have the students cut the cards and grab their favorite. At your signal have them get together in groups of the same favorite vehicle.
Teacher: These are trucks. (pointing close to you)
                Those are cars. (pointing far from you)
Students give more examples.

Write the words on your notebook. Providing multiple exposure to the vocabulary words help with learning and meaning.


Road game. I was looking for a game and found an interesting one on Pinterest, I adapted it for ESL. Simply print out as many roads you need and write the vocabulary words on each side of each road piece as in dominos, there must be 2 or more of the same word. Print the people in their vehicles and the signs. Have the students play as in Domino but the pieces will be the road items.


Prepositions cards. Use them for writing purpose or to play sentence association game.
