Christmas and Colors Unit for Elementary English Language Learners

 This resource is included in the Colors Unit for Elementary ELL. Find it in this link here:          https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Colors-Unit-for-Elementary-ELL-Starters-3629423

Use this resource to engage Students with Thematic Learning. It integrates visual (flashcards, puzzles, board games), auditory (read-and-color, listening activities), and kinesthetic (board games, coloring) elements to cater to diverse learning styles.

Give each student a gift flashcard. Name a sequence of four colors. The students with those flashcards stand in the same sequence: orange, pink, blue, black.

Repeat with more sequences.

Let’s do Role-Play: Set up a pretend market on the board. Students "buy" and "sell" gifts by asking for specific colors: I want the blue gift, please.

Have students match their crayons to the larger flashcards.

The set of small cards are useful for more activities:

Hide the gift flashcards around the room. Call out a gift color, and students search for the matching gift. You can hide the small card on the board, on a book or behind the door!

Teacher: Where is the red gift?

Students: on the book!

By the way, that’s a book that I made the originals in 2010!

Each student picks up a card and says their favorite color: My favorite color is green!

The small cards work for writing prompts.

The gift worksheets will encourage students to work at their own pace, reinforcing self-confidence.

Unscrambling letters helps students practice spelling and letter recognition. Then, they can color each gift.

Print the bingo gift worksheet. Students will color the gifts in any color they wish. Use the small cars to call out Bingo and students mark or cover the corresponding gifts on their cards. Save the bingo sheet to play at any other time since it is ready.

Fun way to practice listening and matching.

Puzzles capture students' attention and encourage active participation. Plan a Puzzle Race. Divide students into teams. Provide each team with a puzzle set. The first team to complete their puzzle wins.

Lay the puzzle pieces out. Call out a color, and students must find the phrase and complete the pocket chart.

Game board! Students say the colors as they land on them, improving pronunciation and confidence. As students land on a present, they must say the color out loud. For an extra challenge, they can make a sentence (e.g., “The present is red”).

Prepositions and the School Unit for Elementary ELL

 This resource is found at this link at the TPT store: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/School-Theme-for-Elementary-ESL-1707072

This resource uses a crayon and a crayon box. It aligns with the  school supplies, or classroom objects, making it a versatile tool for reinforcing learning throughout the school year. All to prepare a model lesson plan for your english class.

Introduce prepositions using the flashcards and writing the sentences on the board: The crayon is on the crayon box.

Use the opportunity to write questions on the board and have the students ask more questions for the class to answer: Where is the crayon?

Flashcards offer clear visual cues, which helps students grasp the meaning of prepositions more easily. Cut the word out of each flashcard and have the students match to the image.

Small cards give students flexibility to create a variety of sentences, encouraging creativity. They will write a text that you give a prompt or they show their creativity.

Students must carefully listen and follow instructions: Put the blue crayon on the crayon box. I suggest that you have the cutouts ready. I glued the crayon box onto a toilet paper roll.

Visual and kinesthetic learners can see and manipulate the crayons in various positions relative to the box, reinforcing spatial concepts through movement and observation. Students can also make their sentences for the classmates to recreate.

Teacher: The crayon is under the crayon box.

As students work with the resource, they’ll also reinforce color vocabulary, by printing the worksheets.

Rolling the die adds a game-like element to color the preposition images on the worksheet, motivating students to actively participate. The die and worksheet can be used for solo practice or in pairs.

More worksheets to complete the practice section of your lesson plan.

The matching mat allows students to link visual cues with written prepositions, reinforcing vocabulary.

Have the puzzle ready to give students a hands-on way to construct sentences, helping them understand prepositions.

 This resource is included in The Fruit and Vegetables level 1 for Elementary ELLS.LINK:https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fruit-and-Vegetables-level-1-for-Elementary-ELLS-12275711

 Playing games gives students plenty of opportunities to speak, listen, and understand food-related vocabulary in context, which reinforces language skills. Use these for the productuve parts of the lesson plan for your english class.

Foster collaborative learning as students work effectively in groups to put together this puzzle. Use the game to help with reading fluency and word recall. Solving puzzles requires focus and persistence.

Teachers can easily adjust the difficulty of the games to match students’ language proficiency. Students can simply draw what is described in the cards. More advanced students can create more sentences and say more fruit and vegetables to draw.

Students practice reading sentences using the grammar point: There is /There are and the comprehension by identifying the correct fruit or vegetable to draw using the B/W version or the colored one.

Most games are designed for minimal prep, allowing teachers to implement it quickly and with minimal setup. Writing out the names of fruits and vegetables helps students practice spelling, reinforcing correct letter sequences and word formation.

Students can work in small groups by following the path along the board. Players have opportunities to listen carefully to instructions, answer to questions to the cards out loud, enhancing oral language development. Students will win the coin points if they answer correctly. The student with the most points wins.
