Present Continuous Flashcards for Elementary English Language Learners

 This resource is found here:   https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Present-Continuous-for-Elementary-ESL-4403402

Teach the Present Continuous tense to describe actions that are happening right now. This helps ELLs talk about their immediate actions. Achieving this tense will help students describe their daily routines and activities

Activity 1. Show a flashcard and have the students do the action and say the word. Do the same with as many flashcards as you can.

Students: dancing! Dancing! (as they do the action).

Activity 2. Place the eat flashcards on the board. Designate a student a flashcard. Ask questions.
Teacher: Are you eating cake?
Student: Yes, I am.

Activity 3. Make a grid on the board using the flashcards.
Teacher: B2!
Student: Dancing. They are dancing.
Teacher: She is opening her locker.
Student: C3!.

Activity 4. Place several flashcards on the board and write the questions words: Who, What; Where?
Teacher: CLIMB!
Students: Where is he climbing?
Teacher: He is climbing in Bolivia.
Students: Who is climbing?
Teacher: Peter is climbing in Bolivia.
Students: What is he doing?
Teacher: He is climbing a mountain in Bolivia.

Have the students write questions on their notebooks using the flashcards as prompts.

Activity 5. Collocations. Place three flashcards on the board.
Teacher: What are they doing?
Students: They are sitting.
Teacher: Where is he sitting?
Students: He is sitting on a bench.  (write on a bench)
Continue with the other two. Tell students that adding words to a verb gives more details to a sentence in Present Continuous.

Activity 6. Now, place only one flashcard on the board. I used studying. Have the students dictate words to make more sentences.
Students: Math!
Teacher: She is studying Math.

Activity 7. Place the flashcards on the board and say a wrong sentence on purpose for each flashcard.
Teacher: She is eating spaghetti.
Students: No! She is eating a hamburger.

Activity 8. Students write a 3x3 Bingo board on their notebooks. Place all the action flashcards on the board that you are working on. Students choose 9 action words and write them on each square. Take away all the flashcards from the board, mix them up and start calling the verb flashcards as you show each one to the class. Students cross out the ones that they have, the first student to do it shouts BINGO!

Activity 9. Routines. Place the get up flashcard on the board and mime getting up. Have the students mime getting up and say the sentence: I am getting up. Continue with more daily routines as you place the flashcards on the board.

Point to each flashcard and ask questions.
Teacher: What is he doing?.
Student 1: He is making his bed.
Say a name of a flashcard in random order and have a student come up and point to it and say a sentence.
Teacher: take!
Student 1: He is taking a shower. ( pointing to the flashcard)

 Present progressive spelling.

Furniture in the House Book for Elementary ELLs

 This resource is part of the House Furniture for Elementary ESL, at my store:

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/House-Furniture-unit-for-Elementary-ESL-3420723

Instead of a printable book, I propose creating a furniture catalog. It will help them learn vocabulary related to furniture, by cutting and pasting the items in the template. You can also use the other template which are blank for the students to draw the furniture or cut from magazine, in order to practice their descriptive skills, and improve their overall language proficiency.

There is a cover page for the students to decorate.

There are pages for the furniture in the Living Room, Bedroom, Dining room, Kitchen, Bathroom and a black frame for you to add any other location in a house. Students can also add a description to each item in the catalog.

You can have a display of all the catalogs that the learners have done either individually or in small groups and give an award to each one.

A video! Take a look.

Development of writing Skill.  This dice game involves writing sentences in affirmative or negative to what is present in the house, which help improve literacy skills. There is a number dice that refers to quantity of items in the house. The others are furniture to consider that you have or not in that quantity in your house.

Students can work on printable games independently or in small groups, allowing teachers to provide individualized support as needed. This is a simple spelling activity to use with the dice, the small cards or any other.

Board games are inherently interactive, encouraging active participation from all students. This helps maintain high levels of engagement. It comes with cards in each color of the board path and the point coin as well. Players will land on a color and say a sentence and get the coin of that color if they say it right: The table isn’t in the bathroom!

Games provide a context for using new vocabulary, helping students understand how words are used.

Dominos require players to work together, take turns, and communicate effectively, promoting teamwork and social interaction.
