Print the games and create a positive learning environment. Students enjoy playing games in a relaxed atmosphere.
This set of picture and word cards  will reinforce the meaning and meorization of the new words.

Use the cards to play spelling bingo. Hand in the template and have the students write any of the words from the cards. Then, start calling the words. The winner is the one that crosses off all the words.

Check the video:

Use the word cards from the game to match the real object to each word.

Pocket charts are so versatile. They can be adapted to suit any individual or group learning needs.

Students can read all the phrases, take a look!

One more easy game is to prepare this file folder game to review colors.

Board games are very engaging and interactive for your students. You can adapt all the games to suit your players to encourage participation. Is this something that you include in your lesson plan? Maybe not? Would like to? 

To support vocabulary recognition in the school unit, I created a word matching mat featuring school objects and their corresponding words. Students can match the word cards to the correct images on the mat.

 For added versatility, the mat can be placed inside a clear plastic sheet protector, allowing students to write the words directly on the mat using a dry-erase marker. This makes the activity reusable and interactive—perfect for literacy centers, early finishers, or small group work!

In addition to the school object mats, I’ve included a fun set of color word mats featuring crayons. Each mat shows crayons in different colors, and students are invited to write the correct color word next to each one.

Just like the school object mats, these can be placed inside clear plastic sleeves so students can use dry-erase markers to write and wipe. This reusable format is perfect for reinforcing color vocabulary while building spelling and handwriting skills in an engaging, low-prep way!

 

Flap books are easy to use and can be part of the wrap up part of the lesson plan for the classroom objects.It will develop writing and reading from the very beginning.

 It's basically printing the templates. Students can cut and staple to assemble the flap book.

For writing in the blank spaces, depends on what you want to work on. It can be dictation of sentences, word writing and more. Try having students write their own sentences and do a show and read to other students. The possibilities are endless and pick one that suits your students' neeeds.
