This Lion at School resource helps students review school vocabulary in
a fun way during the school unit. Learners listen, read, draw, write, and play
while practicing school items and basic prepositions in meaningful contexts. Perfect
for centers, small groups, or whole-class review, this resource makes
vocabulary practice interactive and easy to implement.
Flashcards
Speaking Activity. In this activity, the teacher shows a lion flashcard
to the class and guides students through simple, structured speaking practice.
Teacher: Who’s this?
Students: It’s the lion.
Teacher: What color is the lion?
Students: Yellow.
Teacher: What does he have?
Students: A red book!
The teacher then models a complete sentence:
“The yellow lion has a red book.”
This routine is repeated with different flashcards.
The predictable question pattern helps English language learners gain in oral
fluency.
Writing Activity: Describe the Lion. In this activity, students look at the lion picture
and write simple sentences to describe it. Using the model provided, students
write:
“This is a yellow lion.
It has a purple calculator.”
This activity helps English language learners practice
sentence structure,
Small cards
Lion’s Backpack
Activity. Print the backpack
template and place it inside a clear plastic sheet on the table. Give students
the lion small cards. Students listen carefully and place the correct card
inside the backpack as the teacher gives directions.
Teacher:
“Put the lion with the red crayon in the backpack.”
The teacher repeats the activity using different lion
cards and school objects.
Feed the Lion – School Objects Review. Print the lion with an open mouth template to create a
Feed Me box. Place the box on the table and give students the school object
cards. Students take turns “feeding” the
lion as they review the vocabulary.
Teacher:
“Feed the lion the globe.”
Student:
(Places the globe card into the lion’s mouth.)
This engaging activity helps English language learners
practice school vocabulary, listening comprehension,
Grab & Say – Quick Speaking Game. Place the small cards face down on the table. A
student picks one card and says a complete sentence to describe it:
“It’s a yellow
lion.”
“It has a gray laptop.”
This quick speaking game helps English language
learners practice oral language,
Worksheets
Design Your Own School Lion. Students add school objects on the lion and describe
it.
Read and Color. In this worksheet, students read simple sentences and
color each lion correctly. They match the lion’s color and the school object by
following the directions.
This activity helps English language learners practice
reading comprehension. It works well as independent work.
Body Labeling. In this activity, students cut and glue the body word
labels to match the correct parts of the lion’s body. They then draw arrows to
connect each word to the picture.
Read, Draw, and Color. Students read the sentence cards and follow each
instruction to draw and color on the lion worksheet. They listen or read, and
carefully place each school object on, under, next to, in front of, or behind
the lion.
This activity helps English language learners practice
prepositions of place. It works well for small-group instruction.
What Does the Lion Have? Students look at each picture and read the question
and sentence. They then write the correct school object and color word to
complete the sentence.
Spelling Bingo – How to Play. Students write five words or short sentences on
their Spelling Bingo worksheet. The teacher mixes and calls the words using the
small cards.
As students hear a word or sentence, they cross it out on their paper.
The first student to cross out all five wins Bingo!
Draw & Follow the Directions (Prepositions
Practice). Students
pick a card and read the sentence aloud. They listen carefully and draw the
school item in the correct place on the lion worksheet (on, under, behind, next
to, or in front of). This activity helps students practice prepositions, school
vocabulary, and listening comprehension in a fun, hands-on way.
Make a Mini Book – Lion at School
Students cut out the picture cards and put them in
order to create a mini book. For each page, they write a simple sentence (for
example: “I have a blue pencil.”) and color the picture. When finished,
students read their mini books aloud to practice vocabulary, colors, and
sentence structure.
