The furniture small cards can be used in
various interactive activities that you will check out in this blog post. These
cards are easy to carry from one classroom to another. Include these into the lesson plan for your english EFL.
Print and have these flexible teaching tools for your
class.
Listen and draw the furniture items. Practice the furniture vocabulary with cards. It will
help reinforce vocabulary through repetition.
Teacher: Lamp! Draw a lamp.
Take a look at the video:
Write the word. The small size of the cards helps maintain learners'
focus on individual items. I used letters stickers to write the words that are
on each small card.
Students can also draw pictures to illustrate each
word.
Have the students say sentences as a speaking activity. Check the video:
Show me the furniture. Teachers can quickly assess students' knowledge with
this easy activity.
Place several small cards on the board or table. Hold
up a furniture piece flashcard. Ask the students to find the same matching one
and say a sentence: It’s a clock.
My example video.
Adjective-noun phrase using small cards. This exercise can be easily adjusted to suit different
proficiency levels in your class. Write adjective and noun words on small
cards. Have the students write adjective words that you either dictate or that they
write on the cards.
Students will match the item on the small card and the
adjectives cards. They can write these phrases on their notebooks.
Here's the video:
Guess the furniture item. Cards facilitate group work, allowing students to
practice speaking and listening skills collaboratively. Place the small cards
on a table. Write the word that the students will guess on a piece of paper and
hide it. Have the students ask questions to guess: Is it pink?
Teacher: No, it isn’t. It’s not a bathtub. (You can take
away that small card)
Students: Is it round? Is it a circle?
Teacher: Yes, it is!
Students: It’s a clock!
