Routine Verbs Small Cards for ESL/EFL learners

 This resource is included here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Routine-Verbs-for-Elementary-ELL-3088833

 

Games make the lesson an engaging learning experience. Children will practice the verbs and you can listen how much they know. They might get creative as they make up their rules for the games. Teams will be formed and they will have to communicate in English.

Play Slap with the small cards. Spread out the cards on the floor or a table face up. One student can be the caller, give him /her the slap caller badge and the other players will be the slappers, who will slap the correct card. The one that does it first keeps the slapped card. Continue until all the cards have been called. The winner is the one with most cards.

For the game I made these slap caller necklace. I cut and glued them onto fun foam, punched a hole and thread yarn into the hoop. I use them to have the group respect the caller and be more organized at playing the game. You can play with any set of word and use the necklace but change the caller every time. You can even write on the back of the necklace the caller´s name so you choose a different child every time.

Cut-and-Paste Routine Verbs Activity. This activity includes two matching sets: One set with routine action words cards with the word on it, another set with pictures of each action.  Students cut out the pictures and paste them on top of the correct verb word.  Use it to recognize and read routine vocabulary.


Picture + Word Matching Activity. This version flips the challenge. Each card shows a picture of a routine action, and there’s correct verb word to match. This activity helps English language learners to focus on visual comprehension first.


Spelling Verb Bingo Game. Place all the verb small cards on the board. Have the children select only 6 and write them down on their paper. Call out a word and place a tick on the flashcard. Use the small cards for calling the verbs. Children cross the words as they have it on their spelling bingo grid.


Print the camera for any game in a bright construction paper. Have several more printed as well.

Students of all ages like the camera. Use the camera to have the children name each verb as you pass the picture, you can make the strip as long as you want.  


I also included the photo clip art, children either draw the verb, look them up in magazines and cut them or simply cut them from the small cards here. They can also write the verb or write complete sentences. 

They can make a photo album using their own pictures and write sentences under each photo.

Routine Verbs Flashcards for ESL/EFL learners

 This resource is included here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Routine-Verbs-for-Elementary-ELL-3088833

The Routine Flashcards give students a clear visual cue that helps them connect the action verb with its meaning, making it easier to remember.

Some ideas for games and activities for your students. Let me know which one you used and how well it worked.

Mime. Show a flashcard and do the corresponding action as you say it. Have the student mime and repeat the action.

Teacher: wake up, wake up!
student: wake up, wake up!

Who is? Have six children come to the front. Hand in a routine verb card to each one and the corresponding realia or cutout to act it out. They have to look at it and mime the action at your call.

Teacher: Ready! Action!
Teacher: make the bed!
Students: Laura!
Teacher: brush the teeth!
Students: Jacky!
Then do it backwards.
Teacher: Ready! Action!
Teacher: Patricia!
Students: do homework!
Teacher: Tomas!
Teacher:  wash the dishes!

Verbs in a bag. Place the routine flashcards in a bag. Sit the children in a circle if you have a small group. For large groups, it might be good to have several sets and do the activity in groups.

The first child of the circle gets a card from the bag and without showing it mimes the actions. The children have to guess and shout out the verb. Then make a sentence with the verb.

Children: clean the window!
Children: Erin is cleaning the window!

Hand in the routine verbs flashcards to a group. Have them order the verbs in alphabetical order and then write them down.

Place 6 flashcards on the board. Write a question word under each one: Who ?, Why ?, Where ?, When ?, What ?, How many ? . Divide the class into pairs and have them write questions with each question word. When all the questions are ready, have them exchange the questions sheets with other pairs to answer them.

Lay all the cards face down on a table.  A student turns a card around, reads it and makes a complete sentence. If it is right the student keeps the card.  If the sentence is wrong, the student puts the card back. Student: clean. I clean the house with my mother.


    Yes/NO Q&A: Have students ask each other in pairs questions using any flashcard in random order.

Student 1: Do you play football?
Student 2: Yes, I do.


 Students pick any four flashcards and write a short text. Then, hands it in to another student to read. They can find similarities between their routines.
