Numbers 1 to 20 Halloween Eyeballs for Elementary ESL

 This resource is included in The Numbers 1 to 20 for Elementary-Starters at this Link: 

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Numbers-1-to-20-for-Elementary-ELL-Starters-3640162

This resource provides a fun way for students to practice recognizing and identifying numbers from 1 to 20 in a Halloween context using eyeballs.

Display the Halloween eyeballs flashcards randomly, and have students pick a card, identify the number, and say it aloud. This helps with both number recognition and pronunciation. Students will grab a sidewalk chalk and write the numeral and the word.

Print the small card format that offers additional flexibility for classroom activities.

Throw the beanbag.  Spread the small cards (with Halloween eyeballs and numbers 1 to 20) on the floor or tape them to a wall. Students take turns tossing a bean bag onto a card. Wherever the bean bag lands, they must identify and say the number aloud.

Cut the word out of each small card. Have the students pair the Halloween eyeball number with the word.

Worksheets

The spooky visuals will capture their attention. The worksheets help students practice recognizing numbers from 1 to 20 in a structured and repetitive way. Learners will complete the numeral or the word for each box.

Using eyeballs as a visual aid provides a strong visual cue for number identification. On one worksheet answer the question How many eyeballs? and on the other it’s an unscramble the letters to write the number word.

Worksheets serve as an easy way for teachers to assess students' understanding of numbers 1 to 20. Plan making the dice ahead of time, a set of dice can serve a small group of ELLs. ELLs throw the dice and then color accordingly.

Connect learning with the Holiday! Students cut and paste the numbers and create a 1 to 20 mat.

Game

Ask students to arrange the flashcards in the correct order from 1 to 20. You can make it more interactive by asking them to count the eyeballs as they place each card.

Birthday Unit Small Cards for Elementary ELLs

  This resource is included in The Birthday Unit:   https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Birthday-Unit-for-Elementary-ESL-5279726

Birthday unit small cards offer a quick and engaging way to review the new vocabulary related to birthdays. Find these easy to store, prepare, and reuse, which reduces preparation time.

Enhance both language development and classroom interaction. The cards can be used for various activities such as Point to.

Teacher: Point to the balloon!

Just like this:

If you don’t have a pointer in hand, have the students pick up the card as you name it: It’s a blue cake.

Using the cards in activities like sentence-building activities is engaging and fun for the students. They can write a sentence for each small card on a white board using colorful markers.

Learners that are ready can write even more complex sentences.

You can draw a picture of a birthday item and have the class guess what it is: It’s a candle! Students can play the game in pairs or small groups using the cards.

Listen!

The cards allow teachers to cater to different levels by adjusting the complexity of the tasks such as pair matching for beginners. Students will match the preposition word to the corresponding picture. Just cut the word out of each card. This kind of activity will help develop students’ cognitive skills, including concentration and recall of the location words.

 

Speaking opportunity!

Writing the wrap up part of the lesson plan to teach English Language Learners

  The 3P lesson plan template is available here:     https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/lesson-plan-to-teach-English-Language-Learners-11780557

The wrap-up part is the end of the lesson and the time to consolidate learning.

Just plan a short activity to reinforce the key concepts learned throughout the class session.

It is an opportunity for you to check on what went well, what you should focus on next lesson. Don’t skip this important step.

It is an activity to solidify their understanding, to internalize new vocabulary and structures from the lesson. Just few minutes to practice using the language in context.

Plan a well-structured wrap-up to give a sense of closure to the lesson.

Here are some effective wrap-up activities to include in your lesson plan:

 Select a quick review game that revisits the key vocabulary or concepts from the lesson as a way to help students remember what they’ve learned.

Include a Classroom Questionnaire where students ask questions to others. Find my collection at TPT:https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Questionnaire-Worksheets-for-Elementary-English-Language-Learners-11315049

If you use a reward system, distribute them at the end of the lesson.

Quick Drawing Activity such as my Favorite Worksheet. Give each student the worksheet and ask them to quickly draw their favorite item related to the lesson. After a few minutes, they can share their drawings with a partner or the whole class as a show and tell.
