Use the toys unit small cards for interactive learning for small group activities. Use these to encourage conversation, games and collaborative learning.    It is a great way to present vocabulary using visuals.

Found this activity for spelling practice to help memorize the key vocabulary. Print the template for each student. Have them throw the dice and count the letters in each word. Then, they write it under the corresponding dice. Students can even look up for more toys words and complete the columns.

Another die idea. Make two dice using the cards. I found a shoe box and managed to make the dice cutting up the cards.

Take a look at my die!

The idea is to throw the die and complete the spelling bingo printable. Then, start playing as you call on the words and the students tick them all to shout BINGO! It is a fun and easy way to have the students write the new words and memorize them.

Another easy idea for the students to work individually or in pairs, is to cut the word out of each card and have them match to the picture.

Guess! Place all the small cards in a stack in the middle of a group of students. They will take turns to guess which is the top card before turning it. If he/she could guess, then keeps the card. If not, the card goes to the bottom of the pack. The winner is the one with the most cards.

Use the templates for the tic tac toe and create your game:

This is a unit that comes up in several textbook series. I am including the most common words that I found in those books. The flashcards are an engaging tool for your students. Use them to reinforce the connection between the word and the picture making it easy to memorize. They are handy to introduce the topic of the unit and promote communicative language.

Reinforce grammar with the question: What + be?
Teacher: What is this?
Students: It's a kite.

Hand in the Toys flashcards and have the students arrange them in alphabetical order. This will help your students to build their new vocabulary in a systematic and structured way. Students will identify all the words: This is a ball.

Write the letters and numbers to make a grid on the board to place the flashcards in random order. Prepare your list of questions for each letter/word combination. The grid is wonderful as it provides a visual representation of all the flashcards to comprehend the activity.

You can use my questions as a guide.

Hand in the Pictionary worksheet and have the students draw any item that you have assigned to each one. Students will come to the front with their drawing and have the students guess. The person that guesses first wins a point. Playing this drawing game fosters creativity in your students. They will use their imagination to represent the toys through a drawing.
