Lovely comments on the resource. 

You can print the face unit small cards onto cardboard to play games and activities. Use them to consolidate new vocabulary. Students will be motivated to engage in the language to say hair and eye color.

Use the face unit cards for Sorting activities. Learners will sort the cards into categories/group. Have them explain their reasoning, for example, this sorting is by hair color. 

Students can sort the face unit cards by the hair length. Use the pictures in the cards to appeal to your students. Expand the theme focusing on the grammar and vocabulary learned.

Ask questions: Who has long blond hair?
Students: Amelia!

Reinforcing the adjectives is an essential part of grammar development.

Connect the hair texture to sort the cards: curly or straight?

Students can practice essential questions using the cards. Hand them in a dry erase board and colorful markers.

 They can write questions and them another student or group of students answer.

Students can also write short texts to each card.

Once students know how to play tic tac toe , they can do it alone in groups of two or more.

Next part will be the Face Unit Worksheets.

                        Day 6.  Gameboards printable!!  

Gameboards are easy to pull out at any time. I made one to review numbers, another for colors and the alphabet. For older students the Q & A and the shapes. You can place them in a clear plastic sheet for durabilty. Students can write the vocabulary over each image using a whiteboard marker and more. Students can write questions if they are older.

Take a look at the game pieces. I taped an opened clip behind each character.

For the shapes, I made small flashcards to review them, just in case.

The Questions andAnswers Gameboard is mainly for older students, the cards with the question are the same color of the space they land on. They read the question and answer in order to move on the board. 

Use the gameboard for writing. I placed the gameboard into a plastic clear sheets and have the students write sentences using a dry erase marker. 

or just write the number word.

I am sure you can think of more games and activities, leave me your idea below. Students can start writing, check it out!

Day 3. Halloween small cards!! 

Just 24 cards with the main vocabulary words used in Halloween. The cards are small enough for online teaching or small groups approach.

The cards can be used to teach or review the vocabulary. Video:

And now, the games! The most obvious, Memory Game. Just print double and you have Memory! A video:

I came across a game that I used to play with my students years ago. It’s called SNAP! You might have played,too. Print 2 sets of cards. Students mainly pay in groups of 4. Distribute all the cards, students place all the 6  cards face down on a pile in front of them. The first students turns over their top card of their pile and say the Word.  The next student turns over the top card say the Word again. And so on. When two cards are the same, the first player to say SNAP! And slap the two cards wins the two cards. The winner is the one with the most sets of cards. Take a look.

Using a recycled old CD case as a board. Students write the Word that is on each card.

Vocabulary can be written using magnetic letters.  

Sorting can happen using plastic plates. I wrote the words person and thing and had the students sort the cards.

A Grid can de done on a small board for online teaching or just for small groups. I placed a magnet behind each card. Make the grid as big as you want. I created an example here. You say a number letter combination and students will say what is there. Or you say the Word and the say the number-letter combination of its location.

Look at it.

Play Spelling Bingo. Students complete their spelling grid with the words from the cards. You call out the bingo using the cards.

I am sure you can think of more games and activities, leave me your idea below. Make sure to review the numbers!   https://eflelementaryresources.blogspot.com/2020/10/day-4-of-31-days-of-halloween-2020-new.html

Seasons and Clothes

This is the third part for the Seasons Product. LINK: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

 Start by reviewing all the clothes vocabulary using the flashcards provided.

Have the students sort the people flashcards into each season.

Teacher: What season is this ?

Students: SPRING!

Teacher: What is she wearing ?

Students: a t-shirt, a skirt and rain boots.

Teacher: What is this ?

Students: It’s an umbrella.

Teacher: When do you wear a scarf ?

Students: In the Winter.

Teacher: What do you wear in the Spring ?

Students: A raincoat.

                                            Clothes Flashcards:

Have the students sort all the clothes flashcards into each season.

Have the students sort the clothes out on the worksheet.

And sort out along with the weather and Months cutouts from last blog post using the fries containers.

Worksheets! The frogs again, but this time Seasons and Clothes.

This is how students should complete the worksheets.

But, that’s not all, have the students cut and paste the frogs on their notebooks. Then, write sentences according to their level.

I put all the notebook writing together into a book!

I made it all into a video.

This is the second worksheet for the reading ring that I presented last blog post. The students color the worksheet and then cut the strips and place it in the book ring.

An extra worksheet.

Have the students create a Venn Diagram. Students work in pairs. Assign each student a Season in which they will write about the clothes that are worn on their side of the Venn Diagram. And they write in the center of the Venn Diagram the clothes that are common for both seasons. They will have to discuss on the clothes that are common and the ones that are not. Assign different combination of Seasons.

Winter-Fall, Winter-Spring, Winter-Summer, Fall-Spring, Fall-Summer, Spring-Summer. Have the students present the results to the class.

There are the four Seasons Scenes for the students to complete the weather and dressing the child that will be pasted there. 

Included are the symbols of each season. It can be done as a group work. The students can write a text or do a show and tell about their season.

After the Seasons Scenes are reading, students can do free writing and create a poster.

These are games that you can play with the Seasons Unit or any other.

Word chain. Write a Season word on the board, e.g. Summer. Then the students have to say a word with the last letter of the word Summer, e.g. rain. This is a good warm up activity.

Spelling Game
Put a Season flashcard on the board and have teams or individuals make as many words as possible from those letters, e.g. Spring = S/sun, P/pants, R/rain, ,I/I, N/November, G/gloves.

Then, students write sentences using those words.

There is another part for this resource: Seasons Nature and more Vocabulary.
