In my last post there were many activities on how to use the Town Theme flashcards, in this one is where to shop or buy things.

Flashcards 1. Place several items flashcards and ask questions.

Teacher: Where do you buy a hamster ?

Student: At the pet shop.

Place several flashcards on the board and write a number on each. Ask the questions.

Teacher: What number is the pet shop ?

Student: 93

Teacher: What can you buy at the pet shop?

Students: hamster, dog, fish.

Writing sentences with flashcards. Place a person, a store and an item flashcard on the board. Have the students make the sentence using the flashcards. They can make more sentences using these flashcards or magazine cutouts.

Give the students the small set of cards and have them match the item to the shop.

Put all the shops in ABC order.

Or glue the stores on several toilet paper rolls. Glue items cards on craft sticks. Have the students sort where to buy things. I particularly like the mall one because there are many things to buy there and they can discuss between partners that there several places to buy the same things.

Here´s a printable writing book. Students complete what they can buy in each store.

Here is a closer look of all the pages of the book.

When the book is read at home with the parents, have them bring it back along with some magazines. First have them cut the book in two parts and make another matching game. Second, cut the store and it on paper and have the students find pictures of things that can be bought at the stores and then glue where they belong so they can be shared with the class.

There will be another part for the town theme. Remember, there is a bundle for the Town Unit at the store.

ESL Weather and Action Verbs

Link to the Weather Unit resource  : 

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Weather-and-Verbs-for-ESL-3680155

Tell students that depending on the weather there are things that they can do or not.

Teacher: What is he doing ?

Students: He is playing golf.

Teacher: Is it sunny or windy ?

Students: It´s sunny.

                    This time, 81 verbs for weather flashcards are ready. 

Verbs for Weather Flashcards 1. The students can sort the flashcards for the activities (verbs) that can be done in each Season or Weather.

Teacher: Can you drive in the Winter ?

Students: Yes, you can.

Teacher: Can you drive in the Summer?

Students: Yes, you can.

Flashcards 2. Let´s! Place the  Weather verbs flashcards on the board and introduce sentences with Let´s.

Teacher: Let´s ski in the snow.

Students: Let´s walk in the snow.

Game board.  Place a flashcard and the game board model on the board to make examples for playing.

Teacher: He is playing baseball. It is rainy. (because I landed on the rainy spot) Can He play baseball ?

Students: No, he can´t.

Then, the student can´t move for next turn.

Another example. Teacher: He is playing baseball. It is partly cloudy.  Can he play baseball?

Students: Yes, he can. (The player can move for next turn)

Think of verbs. Give the students the template for each weather and have them think of verbs related to each weather and write them. Hang the weather verbs! Or students can paste them on their notebooks and write sentences with the verbs.

Another writing activity. Hand in  the templates to the students. They glue it on their notebooks or posters, but glue only the top border, so they can complete the sentences with the verb.

A Verb Pictionary.  I have these cute frog clipart. The students cut the frog pictures and glue when they belong. The students color the letters of each word. Bind it all and make an actual Pictionary.

Place the frog´s clothes on a desk.

Call on individual students to come and pick a piece of clothing, show it to the class, say the word and place it where it belongs according to the weather.

Student: raincoat! Rainy!

Flashcards 3. Weather and adjectives. Divide the board in two and write the words hot and cold. Place the sun flashcard on the hot side and a snowflake flashcards on the cold side. Have the students sort the frog´s clothes.

Then, dress up your frog for the hot or the cold weather.

Flashcards 4. Weather and seasons.

Show the students several flashcards and ask questions.

Teacher: Which season is it ?

Students: It´s winter.

Teacher: Yes! But, why? What is he wearing?

Students: He is wearing a hat a coat, pants, and boots.

Give the students the flashcards and have them sort the people according to the season.

Teacher: How is the weather in the Spring?

Students: It´s rainy.

Have the students sort the flashcards according to the weather.

Teacher: What´s the weather like ?

Students: It´s cold.

Teacher: What is the boy wearing?

Students: He is wearing a hat, a jacket, mittens,pants and boots.

Have the students say what they wear for each weather.

Students: I wear a raincoat and boots on a rainy day.

Activity 1. After this practice, hand in the frog template to each student.

Have them color their frog by using only the 11 colors that we use in the class (and for the Bingo later) but only in one color each piece and dress the frog according to a specific weather.

Place the Weather flashcards (from the previous blog post) around the room. Students listen to the weather that you mention and walk with their frog and stand next to the flashcard.

Teacher: Winter frogs come here!

Then count together how many students are at each flashcard and have them say which weather has the most students.

Activity 2. Play frog Bingo! Since all the students have their frogs ready. Play Bingo.   Print and cut all the Bingo cards and place them in a bag or box and start calling out all the clothes:

Teacher: a red shirt!

Activity 3. Fashion Catalog. Since it is a favorite in my store I added it including more summer and winter clothes. Just print a page per student and have them look for clothes in magazines to cut and paste as in a catalog. Divide the whole class into 4 groups so one group will do the Winter Catalog, another the Summer one and then assign Fall and Spring. I´d love to see pictures of this if you do it.

Activity 4. Write the clothes words. Have the students write the clothes that are worn in each weather. You can hang them up in class.
